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

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

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.
Markusthaman posted Tue, 24 January 2006 at 3:03 PM
ahh. this is incredible dificult. the sides just wont turn smooth. well. ill keep trying
Bleak300 posted Tue, 24 January 2006 at 10:07 PM
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. =)
