GeneralMatt's Creation Thread

Nice screenshot is it me or does the texture of the HMS Dreadnought look much sharper/clearer than the one from the Austrian BB? Maybe it is just the screenie or the fact that it isn't the final version yet.

All of the above.

The HMS Dreadnought was reskinned by Danrell... one of the best skinners on the forum... but his appearances are rare and his work periodic at best. I wish I had him under contract, but alas... his services are coveted by many, and his time is limited.

We're still not finished with the Tegetthoff... it's got some more work to be done with it... like I said... it's still in Beta form... and I'll stop putting it in screenshots next to Danrell's work.

I think this is the first ship Matt has done for a non-standard/default Civ... so how many people will want an Austrian ship (could also be used for Hungary) is anybody's guess, but it will be a very good model (and I'll certainly use it in the Wolfshanze Mod).

I have both Austria and Hungary in my mod, so I'll use it too

Wow, love that ship! Please pass big kudos along to Matt for more great work. I always thought the Teggethoffs were some of the nicest looking dreadnoughts. They had nice proportions and were mean looking with the super-imposed tripples and bristling casemates. I can't wait for you integrate it into your mod Wolf!

As to the KGV, you never can have enought British Batleships!!! Bring on Iron Duke, Nelson, Agincourt and KGV I then Britannia will truly rule the waves!!! Although in all seriousness I'd rather see a Japanese heavy cruiser like Myoko and maybe some other missle cruisers like a Russian Kara class or French Colbert.

Well, you get to kill two birds with one stone then with the Tegetthoff!

(who ever heard of the Hungarian Navy anyways! )

 

[Wolfshanze]

Very near completion now...

Most detailed image we could find

Looks like Matt still has quite a lot of work to do.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Yep... still plenty to do...

Next in-line...

You know what, it looks like a type of warship to me.

That's debatable!

 

[Wolfshanze]

KGV work continues...

 

[Wolfshanze]

Guess you guys demand something better to talk about...

 

[RPG]

Much better.

 

[IagoAlberto]

Wow, this is shaping up to be some of Matt's finest work with a ship yet. That seems to be a very accurate model.

Well, it's a British ship, so Matt will probably thow 5,672 polygons at it!

 

[Wolfshanze]

Well if you like the above pics, what do you guys think of this?

 

[GeoModder]

It is a warship.

 

[Berenthor]

This looks great so far
