My new unnamed map.. suggestions welcome.

Dupre · 10th Feb 2001, 07:02 PM

Hey all,

Here's a few screenies of my latest work. Please bare in mind this is my first map and it's only about 25% complete. It's still lacking textures, lightning, and paths, not to mention a few details and most of the forward mast.

Sixteen inches of death.. hey, where's the mast?!

Five-inchers

Upper forward observation deck

Starboard Phalanx deck

Amidship Tomahawk deck

Amidship Tomahawk deck firing down.. hey, is that an opened Tomahawk launcher??

Aft Tomahawk deck showing Harpoons and a Phalanx

Aft sixteen and flight deck.. doh, got gunned down by the M2HB's in the aft emplacements

LordNord · 10th Feb 2001, 07:40 PM

Wow nice work, i like it clean cut and interesting.
Hows the poly count, maybe you should ad the inside as well and make it ab it more detailed like detailed masked textures for the boarders around the boat Looks cool though. Please stick me on the beta list get me on
66557575 if you have icq and message me when youre done

Zundfolge · 10th Feb 2001, 07:48 PM

Looks great!
As for names, just name the ship and you have the name for the map.

Maybe you could name it after one of the Inf team.

Like USS-Warren or HMS-Gryphon or something like that (pick your own favorite team member)

Ships are usually named after women though

LOL!

actualy most American ships (when named after people) are named after Admirals. However of late, most ships seem to be named after cities.

AFAIK only the US Navy still uses battleships and all the US battleships are named after a State: USS New Jersey, USS Iowa.

It's a wise person who knows the difference between free speech and cheap talk.

Oden · 11th Feb 2001, 01:30 AM

But womens names are usually associated with naming of things espically vehicles cars, boats and what not. Even if the ship is named after a city or state it is still usually referred to as a "she".

Thanks for all the comments. Maybe I should post a poll? The four actual Iowa-class BB's built were the Iowa (61), New Jersey (62), Missouri (63), and Wisconsin (64). The Kentucky (66) was never completed and the Illinois (65) was cancelled before work even began.

LordNord, about the poly count. Most of the ship plays at 50-75 polys with a few exceptions that hit between 100-150. Usually, those are places where you really won't go unless you want a sniper to take a shot at you. The two big trouble spots are at the ends of the ship; I may have to lower the details or make the decks bigger to hide them.

HollowPoint · 11th Feb 2001, 05:42 AM

Pretty cool!
Is it me..or is that ship HUGE?
almost Carrier size. (hint hint)

You know....you made me think back on my unfinished Submarine map ya all waited for...yeah thats right folks..I'm thinking about finishing it after i'm done with my Forrest map.

/\l!eN[RIP] · 11th Feb 2001, 06:33 AM

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah Hollowpoint, please pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease pretty please finish it???

HollowPoint · 11th Feb 2001, 10:38 AM

Hawhawhaw..ok ok first need 2 finish the Forrest map ok?

Oh yes..totaly forgot...how does
'DM-INF-Admiral de Ruyter' sounds (mayby a little to long)
Or DM-INF-Yamato (Yeah..but its a WW2 ship)
or DM-INF-Nimitz (well..actually the name of a Aircraft Carrier

Or DM-INF-Admiral Nachimov (yeah! one of the feared Russian Kirov class ships!!)
Or DM-INF-Indianapolis
Or DM-INF-Tirpitz (well..that's a WW2 warship)
Or DM-INF-Hood (mm also a WW2 ship)

Dupre · 11th Feb 2001, 05:59 PM

Oh, yeah.. the Iowa-class battleships are huge! I couldn't find the aerial shot of the New Jersey docked alongside the Ranger and Independence but here's a good reference pic. Maybe I should work on a carrier map after I'm done with this one.

That's the New Jersey with the carrier Midway and three destroyers. And here's an extra pic I found while looking. Just look at the shock waves in the water!

HollowPoint · 12th Feb 2001, 09:08 AM

Holy **** crap! Now that's a Battleship!
Are they still using those types of battleships in the 20'th century??
I mean..one single Excocet Missile should do the trick..but i have to admit..This is WAY cooler Muahaha

Dupre · 12th Feb 2001, 12:37 PM

Up until a year ago, the U.S. kept the battleships inactive and mobilized them when needed. Two of them participated in the Gulf War, bombarding ground targets with the guns and Tomahawks. But now I think they're retiring all of them. The Missouri has become a permanent musuem (and a library to boot!) at Pearl Harbor next to the Arizona memorial. It's amazing to think that the U.S. had planned to build a battleship class even larger than the Iowa. I think it was the Oregon-class or something like that.

Lord_Bunker · 12th Feb 2001, 01:28 PM

i've seen something about i new battleship that i think the brits are building that has a trimaran style hull.

FEAR!

Very cool you must be very

The outside is finished i'd say your at 10% of the final version if you're gonna decorate every
corner of your ship. You might make some animated backgrounds of ships or aeroplanes getting shot down!?
