As you can probably tell, textures are still my weakpoint, detail wise, but I feel I am improving a tad.

Anyways, the name is self explanatory. This used the Destroyers animations. I would tell you the polygons, but I am not sure exactly what was meant by that, triangles or actual polygons..

Initial glance looks good... I gotta run... I'll give a full critique later tonight! ;)

BtW...

HOORAY for the Mikasa! Japs finally get a special naval unit that doesn't start with Yamato or Zuikaku.
 
I guess I'll join-in...

GeneralMatt, one must be blind not to see the improvement you are making texture-wise!

I think this is an excellent unit, thanks!

Thank you. It certainly is better than when I started. :lol:

Wolfshanze, can't wait. :mischief:

Thanks avain!
 
My Pleasure. :)
 
Okay... looked it over... main guns look a tad small (they were smaller then the Brandenburg or Canopus main guns at same in-game scale)... added it to my mod though.
 
Oh... and Matt... meant to say this is the best colored/textured wood deck you've done to date... that's the wood color most ships should have! Light wood decks were far more the norm then dark wood decks.

If you think you're still weak on textures, might I give a suggestion? Find yourself a skilled texture person on the forums that you can team up with. When I was making units for Civ3, I found that when I put the animations together, I wasn't getting the highest possible quality out of my units because I wasn't particular good at that part of the process. So I found somebody who was and as a result, the quality of my units improved. There's no shame in finding another artist to collaborate with ;)
 
Thanks Wolfie.

Dom@ I really like that idea! I will have to find someone who is available. Thanks for suggesting it! I guess I would do what I am doing at the moment still, just before the release I let them do a onceover and make it more detailed..
 
the idea was good regarding the mikassa,as far as concern the unit i consider it average.However,thank you Admirall matt.
again,i m saying that the predreadnought Bronenosets,is a shiny example for what your 2 units are missing Admiral Matt.i think a person who could really assist you is chamaedrys-or snafu...
