Tarawa-class well deck. I thought it's obvious it's not the Adelaide, but actually 6 months ago when I hadn't spent hours trying to decode dinghy photos of well decks I wouldn't have been able to ID it.

[polar night]

Can I ask a question wether it’s stupid or not will the big ship be able to move or will it always be a prop like the adelaide

Now I’ve thought of it it kinda makes sense to stay as a prop

[chrome rover]

The question kind of reduces it a bit as the reality is a bit more complex; it's hundreds of props as the details is at least 10x higher than the Adelaide

[polar night]

Proper excited for the landing craft

[arctic valley]

The only reason the adalaid isn't a moving vehicle is because the game does not have proper linking. If it moved, everyone on it not snapped in place would die.

Same with all vehicles at the moment.

[polar night]

True yes that makes sense

[arctic valley]

Interior is mint btw

[polar night]

Init looks class

Good work

[chrome rover]

I don't know why they make ships so complicated inside; takes forever to find references before you can even start to model

[arctic valley]

try finding good refs for an ah6...

I get it though. Some things are better off not shared.

Wouldn't be suprised if that gate at the back was still classified/

[chrome rover]

The ship is actually still in reserve, but was in active duty before digital cameras were really a thing; so it's actually much easier to find photo for newer much more classified vessels. Got the basic dimensions from some Marine corp study.

Love to see what the Tarawa on the game looks like on the outside but I guess I’ll haft to wait for the release

[chrome rover]

Outside model is from Hum3D, with some corrections to obivously wrong features they took from photos of toys when making it.

Thinking about LCAC I had a wild idea. LCAC has 6 axis control like a helicopter than can only get an inch off the ground, so possibly the Helicopter simulation in the game could be forced into making a convicing control scheme for LCAC... but I'm kind of busy to investigate such a wild goose chase idea for now.

[opaque gulch]

When the Tawara comes out will we be able to place in GM?

[chrome rover]

GM can place it, also control day+night lights, alarms and vehicle elevators +doors on each deck.

[opaque gulch]

That’s awesome! Really looking forward to it.

[chrome rover]

me too lol.

[arctic valley]

Could easily be done with the physics controls in the helicoptercontrol component

[chrome rover]

Good news to my ears. I guess you have seen Katie Bryne's epic model.

[arctic valley]

Seen a bunch of her stuff. Would love to use the t-90 and M1A2

[buoyant trout]

All of her models are editorial sadly

[steady pewter]

Out of curiosity, would it be possible to make the CIWS work?

[prisma star]

@merry fox

[chrome rover]

It isn't. It's standard Turbosquid license. Even if it were editorial, that would not preclude you using it for a mod; in the terms of editorial license The burden and risk of confirming these rights is on you. Do you really think you are going to get sued by Uralvagonzavod or General Dynamics? They would choose your mod to be the first time to sue someone for putting a tank in a video game?

[buoyant trout]

I'm just passing on what moderaters here have said

Oh I thought it was editorial as the rest of her mods are as well

[chrome rover]

Challenger 2 also isn't

[buoyant trout]

I wonder why

[chrome rover]

It's not Katie's choice; if Turbosquid can identify a brand to associate, like General Dynamics, then it gets tagged as editorial.

so somewhat arbitrary

[buoyant trout]

Did you model the interior for the tarawa?

[chrome rover]

Modelling... massive ship could continue forever

[buoyant trout]

So Hum3d modeled the wetbay?

[chrome rover]

No, I modeled wetbay

[buoyant trout]

I have wanted to model more of the interior for my ships but have not had the 3d skills to really do so

[chrome rover]

One easy thing that makes as much difference as the model is lighting; e.g. red indoor lighting is super atmospheric, and the portals set up for exterior illumination.

[civic goblet]

Probably only needs to model the hangar, wetbay and bridge anything the players and ai would use for a mission

[distant bay]

Agreed, would be awesome

[sharp edge]

Looking forward to this
