next model, i wanted to give the swordfish a home. so i tried myself on the Ark Royal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Ark_Royal_(91)

First it was fun, but after the first delete of the almost (wrong) finished model, ... :(. And than the model still needed a skin.

anyway, its time to finish (and perhaps for somebody else time to make a new skin :rolleyes:). so here is she.

the model is very high on vertices, 2708 (!) and 1723 triangles. I think i modelled to many details which are not seen in game.

has as ever one 256 texture and gloss of same size

uses carrier animation and scale for picture was 1

but at least i learned a little bit about making ships

next will be some aircrafts

@ esnaz

thank you :), but this i wouldn´t call a great model. Good enough to release (and even frustated enough not to want to invest more time). I only feeled there was a lack of british carrier.
 
Pretty good! It does need a tad of work as you said, but that comes with practice.

I did put out a British Escort CV a while back, but not a large one.
 
Very nice... I'll find it a home!
 
thanks for the replies :)

@ GeneralMatt

i forgot about the escort carrier, sorry, but in this case it´s even better. Now the British have an escort and a "fleet" carrier. gamewise this should be almost enough carrier for them.

And at least a lot from this model (what i have to avoid from the begin on by making ships, what level of detail makes sense, and so on) :)

Alright!! Just what I was looking for to store my Swordfishees! (I meant your Swordfishees...) ;)

Thanks. Great model. I'll use it in my mod and will pass along your credit for the Swordfish and the Ark Royal both. Great timing too since I wanted to upload these updates tomorrow. :goodjob:
 
great unit :) !
