I want to make realistic underwater submarine battles. Can anyone give me some advice on how to make a submarine model, and also how to make torpedoes with water/bubble trails, also how to make a realistic underwater scene. Thanks

There is a pritty good tut here about water scenes.. not just bout underwater, but part of it. when it comes to the submarine model. ill make one, if i can make it. get right to it. =)

Thanks. Let me know when you finish, it'll be a HUGE help to me.

Also, I only have the program Vue 5 Infinite. So, if you could, please make the model compatible with that program. Thanks

i got vue 5 inf myself. anyways i make it for vue generally. ill make u 3Dmax and wavefront as well if u want lol.. im not sure how good it'll be tho. the propellers are smooth tho.. lol.. ill let u know mate. want some holes to fire topedoes from?

That would be great. Also, do you have any suggestions for making a bubble trail for the missiles? And also, could you possibly design some missiles, I'd really appreciate it if you could. I hope its not too much to ask, also, how am I going to receive these models, are you going to post them somewhere, or something like that? Thanks a lot,

Another thing, what modelling program are you using? Just out of curiosity.

ill make some missiles with the sub. im just a moddelin noob really, so i use anim8or. but my models usually are ok, and work just fine. ill publish the model in freestuff.. ill send u a message when i have uploaded them

hey, I have anim8or too. Your screenname looked familiar, I probably saw your name before on the anim8or forum, maybe, idn. Anyway,I have already made a sub, like a while ago, but its not too good, so I was hoping that yours will be better. I just made a cylinder with rounded edges and a little antenna in the back, with some shark-fin type things. I hope yours will be better than that, cuz mine's as simple as anyone can get. If you can get any more detailed than a rounded cylinder with a couple of shark fins, I'd be perfectly happy. Also, is there a way to make a bubble/water trail coming from the missile? I know in anim8or you can add a particle trail(haven;t succeeded in accomplishing that yet); is there any way to add a trail in Vue 5, possibly? Thanks for your help, and let me know when the objects are up. Again, thank you.

i guess u can make a underwater athmosphere (u have it in ure athmosphere folder in V5I) and make a lots of small/big spheres with some edited glass textures. i think that would look good. lots of items tho. maybe make a alpha plane? hmm. you will come up with somethng. =)

bout the sub. its a bit ugly for now lol. got a cylinder and sphere and a subdivided rectangle, and some stuff for now.. i dont know exactly where the propellars are going to be yet, but the models are nice (took time).. ill try to hurry up finishing it.

No, no, take your time. I mean, I'm hoping to release my movie as finished by Feb.11 , possibly, that's the big premiere release, whatever. (movie's a homemade movie, won't be using anything professional, except your models, and Vue 5)So, I mean, you got some time, couple of weeks. You don't need to rush anything. I like your idea about the bubbles, I'll try it. Thanks

well. a submarine aint the hardest thing to model.. so dont wory. ill be done in not too long i hope. if not u want me to make it very detailed (fences on the deck and stuff). i dunno. well see. =)

sounds good.

ahh. this is incredible dificult. the sides just wont turn smooth. well. ill keep trying

If it'll get messed up, you know, I'd prefer to keep it simpler. I'd rather get anything than something that doesn't look good. But anyway, I appreciate that you're still trying.

hey, i made it. i made an ok sub. but i need to make a texture on it. it look a little weird, but we can live with that. ill send u the link as soon as im done with missiles, and textures. =)

thanks a lot, I'm sure its great! (much better than mine, anyway)Appreciate it.
