New Victory Texture

Description
The 4th of July has come and gone; it's about time another British ship graced the images page! Here's a brand new texture for HMS Victory, based on photos of the real ship. It's the most accurate texture yet, and hugely improves the overall quality of an already excellent model.
You stuck her nameplate back on? When does the Constitution get hers? I will never stop bugging you about that. lol :P
Actually, this is the unique version I've had in the works for some time now, and I added the nameplate ages ago. She'll be a Vanderdecken exclusive until your storyline gets going. ;)
There is a Constitution model with a nameplate (not in the Build), but it's so small you can't actually read it in-game. And don't even get me started on trying to texture it on; not possible. You'll need to beg a modeller to add that and the bow chasers for you.
Ugh. Fine. Then teach me how to put the name on myself. :P
Don't you think I'd have told you by now if I knew how? I might, at a stretch, be able to do the modelling part (that would take some figuring out), but it's re-exporting to GM format which I haven't managed to successfully do yet. :S
Well if there's anything I can do for you to help get the Constitution her nameplate, I'll be happy to do anything.
I must admit, soon after I posted that last reply, I went and tried to re-export a ship again through Maya... only this time, it worked: Forum.piratesahoy.net
I've now got the Constitution in Maya as we speak, and I've got some great things planned... ;)
Ooooo boy. :P Anything I can do to help?
Not at the moment, unfortunately. I'm currently remapping a few UV's so that it should be possible to texture the nameplate on, but also so that we can have stern windows for the British and French versions. I'm also moving some UV's on the stern and bow sections so that the French texture looks more like the Acheron. The textures can only be reworked when I'm finished, and you'd be welcome to help with that part if you want.
Well let me know. :) I'm always willing to help with anything.
