Here's a WW1 battleship

[TVA22]

lol

thanks for the kind words sprinthex, but I think my units are well below par for this place..

And also, everyone else, be forwarned that our site is in it's infantile stages. But once we get it up and running, I'll be posting my units there, as most of the ones I'm making are being done with a big mp game on a world map in mind that my friends and I am going to have, assuming mp ever comes out.

It is funny that the Iowa in Civ III has FOUR cannons in each turret when the real Iowas only had 3. Anyway, the battlewagon looks nice. Also, about the Dreadnought, they were only used at the Battle of Jutland and the British had 38 and the Germans had 21.

TVA22 ! I wonder if you would want to finish the animation for the "Iron Battleship?"
You did such a good job with the Dreadnought, and I don't know if I'll have time: I'm slow in getting all the animations done for the "Ironclad Ram." As you said before, Iron Battleship makes a good ancestor to Dreadnought, and it would be good for simulating the inferior Russian ships vs. the Japanese Dreadnoughts at Tsushima strait.
Anyway, if you want to, I'll send you all the angle views of it.
Also, if you want single-frame views of other units I can easily make 3D models of ships and other machines if I get some pictures. I won't make models of humans, it's too much work with all the body movements.

well, I don't know about the 3d models or anything, really I just get what I need from the still frames. I'm working on some other projects right now, but I have the files you originally posted, and had considered finishing the unit. I take your post to mean that I have your permission? But anyway, I'm sort of sick of naval units at the moment, I'll be back to them to make a ww2 era carrier, and maybe then I'll work on the iron battleship.

 

[The Art of War]

Yeah, TVA22 ROCKS!!! WHOO!! WW2 Carrier!!!

 

[Scipio Africanu]

TVA22, will you be using my base animation for the WWIICarrierDefault for your animation? if so please give proper credit.

I use the 3D model to generate 2D views from any angle, with any perspective or lighting I want. It just makes it easier to make realistic still-frame images.
Dark Sheer expressed an interest in doing some of the naval units. I understand being sick of doing the naval units for now. Maybe we can collaborate on something in the future. You have my permission to finish the existing Iron Battleship, of course.

I didn't even know anyone had made a default for an aircraft carrier. So please wait untill I do something wrong before you accuse me.

 

[TVA22]

Thanks JB

 

[Scipio Africanu]

TVA22, I didn't accuse you of anything, if you may notice the end of that part has a question mark. Then I said "if so" in refrence that its a maybe not an absolute. I was trying to get the facts straight so I wouldn't accuse you of something you didn't do.

 

[TVA22]

sorry if I came off a bit sharp, just wanted to get things straight. No hard feelings, eh?

 

[Scipio Africanu]

course not, no hard feeling.

TVA22:
In case you do decide to animate the Iron Battleship, Use the attached file instead of the Default animation I already made. I improved the appearance of the ship. See attached.

Screenshot of improved Iron Battleship. The previous post is NOT an animation or a completed unit, so don't just download it anyone who is looking for new units.

 

[W.i.n.t.e.r]

WOW- iron ship looks GD !!! Hope sb. gives it a go !!!

 

[alpha wolf 64]

Was this unit ever finished?

 

[Wade]

Yes is anyone working on the Battleship, it'd be great to have it as it Naval forces definatly need to be fleshed out some more.

 

[TVA22]

I too would like to have the Iron Battleship... But I won't be making any more units, at least for now. I tried touching up a graphic a few days ago, and I'm just so sick of it right now. I sort of went on a 6 month flicster binge. It's a great program and all, but editing stuff frame by frame is so painstaking, and no fun, not like working with a 3d program, which I don't have, but have tried before... Anyone, this would be a fantastic unit, someone please give it a try!

I'm gonna do some more industrial era sea units (WWII first, WWI and pre WWI later for my 19thC mod) but my little brother keeps hogging the PC playing on his "championship manager game", so i'm not getting as much done as I'd like.

 

[TVA22]

Wow! Smoking mirror, I've just got to say, you are without a doubt my fav. unit creator, because you just get so much done, and it all looks so good! Feel free to rework anything that I've already done- I've made some battleships, but am not really satisfied with any of them, and think they are sub-par. I look forward to seeing what you make next!
