Bazze - what is that lurking beneath the surface ?
Looks like something soviet or flying saucer like - will you be revealing all - Or is that a mystery :)

I'd like to know that as well.
It appears to have CCCP with a Hammer & Sickle written on it, so it's Soviet, whatever it is.

You know, when products like this come out, makes it kinda hard to focus on one era...:lol:

I've been wondering WHO would be doing a U-Boat.

Bazze, will you be offering different art for the conning tower, so one could have a u-boat flottilla?

Now all we need is for someone to create a liberty ship (if they haven't), and one could re-do the Battle of the Atlantic.

But this is definitely on my list now :D

Quote - what is that lurking beneath the surface ?

It's suppose to be a mystery - is it alien, is it a soviet secret weapon or is it something from the future?

Well... it's a soviet secret weapon. The same one used in the image below (can be downloaded for free from my site).

Quote - will you be offering different art for the conning tower, so one could have a u-boat flottilla?

I haven't planned making a flottilla.
Do you have any suggestions for additional textures for the tower?

Here's one for the U-96 (http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal6/5601-5700/gal5678_U-boat_Schlosser/02.jpg)

Then everything you wanted to know about U-Boats (including the emblems): http://www.uboataces.com/ref-insignia.shtml

But, if I had to make a choice, I'd like to see the markings for U-47 (Gunther Prien's boat - Scapa Flow),  the U-96, and some others.

OT...you offer a Japanese submarine in the 3D studio format, is there ANY way you could be convinced to offer it in a Poser format?  (I for one, would love it). Also, what about something like this (http://www.combinedfleet.com/sen_toku.htm)

The Jap submarine is in production for Poser and Vue, as well as a German submarine pen/dock, and a fully rigged torpedo, and another few submarine suprizes.

is it done yet??

How about now???

LOL

Can't wait, and as for the Sub pen (I certainly can't wait for that).  I may have to re-think the era I focus on.

I just got it yesterday and did a quick load of the sub and the water.

I only have one word to say....AWESOME!!!!

Not only is the sub great, the water object is PERFECT!!  I was looking for some oceanic waves just like this!!

Keep up the awesome work.

Yes the waves (mesh) is included in the package :) Probably forgot to mention it ..
If you're using C4D then I also have a free shader that you can download from my site.

You indeed did mention it, and the addition is greatly appreciated!!

btw...will you be creating a WW2 American submarine?

A bit OT but if you're interested in how the above scene is created/set up then I have written a description here:

Great,

Thank you!!

Has anyone done a sub interior?

If you want an interior of the U-99, watch the movie "Das Boot", it has AWESOME interior shots, and it also shows how resource intensive something like that would be.  You not only have food, you have the various compartments, bulkheads, doors, etc.

If you want these poseable, it may be too resource intensive, but could probably be done. If you want interior props where you could focus on a section, then it may not be bad.

If anyone DOES want to try this, I would strongly recommend watching "Das Boot", it shows every section of the submarine, and basically how it was laid out.

Here's the item Helgard was referring to: http://www.poserworks.com/1_categories/military/htm_sea/uboat_view4.htm

Personally, I don't think the interiors are all that realistic, and for $45.00, it's a bit steep.  But again, that's just my opinion
