The HangSim new Forum

please share that info. Alright then. It is in the effects.cfg file that you type in the bump maps file names, along with their reflections and bump values. Like below in my case. Bellow the double-slashes are just templates of how you can use the effects.cfg. 3 hull 0.01 0.5 hull_normal.png supers...

Ilan has helped me to make good use of the effects.cfg file. With that you can achieve bump and reflection effects for a ship.

Dear all, Whatever I set here, in Deep Exploration, it doesn't seem to solve my problem with getting bump maps into Virtual Sailor NG (8.0). Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! EDIT: I'm sorry for being short on words, but I am rather clueless what I'm doing wrong. Also this is the firs...

Dear management.

Now when Virtual Sailor NG (8.0) is out, I'd be grateful if you could move this thread to the Virtual Sailor NG board instead.

Thanks in advance!

I finally got my tanker into Virtual Sailor NG (8.0) which I plan to buy as soon as possible. For now, this is all I have to show. It's late, and I'm off. G'night to you all, and fair winds as usual! https://am3pap002files.storage.live.com/y4m-15icz5wb8ohP6nbMED1Y2Pot8qNyRYlhTBkG1f6vSKGnBxY3S0cCJIfa...

Another update, and the materials are as good as back!

I've been since yesterday evening and since I woke up today working intensely to get everything back, and it seems to as it paid off in the end.

EDIT: The images have been updated, smokestack's colored now as well.

Another update on the recovery & making-the-model-edit-friendly-again progress. The modelling work is mostly done with getting the ship editable again. Then I will recreate the lost materials.

Change of plans... I'm reworking the original hull, imported from the sim, back into Blender. It'll take some time, but I'm getting there.

It is always nice to see some new faces around here! :D I have, as of writing this post, started on a new hull. A hull which I will use the old, already exported hull as a reference. Together with the snapping tool, and the shrinkwrap modifier, I will be able to make it snap to the faces of the old ...

And once again I fiddled with my USB's that contains my work, and somehow the work got corrupted. I have not deleted the original blend file with my ship, but I cannot open it either... If I can muster the energy to re-import the ship from Vehicle Simulator, and continue by re-creating the hull some...

Hi again Peter! I'm still trying to properly bake the textures onto the hull in Blender, along with the roughness and normals as well. As you know, the materials are just made up of several nodes in Blender, and they haven't been made into textures, yet. I would really want to get that done first, b...

... and so since 2016 I am still working on this giant. She's now got materials, with added rust etc. The textures are almost all baked as of now in Blender. Her legacy lives on, in my virtual shipyard as the largest ship ever built. https://am3pap002files.storage.live.com/y4ma2zbL51KKWcWEs5jgqPN_lO...

Hi Madnewf.

Sadly, it was lost and won't be coming back. Ilan said so in the General Notifications section of this forum.

Hmm. That's weird. I can see them, despite not being logged into OneDrive.com. Now I've updated the links though.

Good morning from Gothenburg, Sweden! I thought maybe it would be nice with a screenshot thread. So I'll start! https://am3pap002files.storage.live.com/y4mwk9dkmWATfdUJ5aUO5GCM8lX5SwZnqkPsyw0bukec6yfLXQCFlIm63ibDPL88NP-mAh6nhyrxbe7-H0XM2cfNW1_pRNJf8two-lYE-w3eJs6QoDaplC6fDkVT0qceeeVribEQK1a-GsySKcvQ...

Whoa, that's some nice features right there Ilan! I will most definitely support your work and buy Virtual Sailor NG when it comes out!

Good to hear Ilan,

I know you did your very best, it's ok. We all fail sometimes, that's life after all

Hi Ilan,

I'm still here, if I do count as an "Old Salt" (been here since 2005) and I do not plan to leave any time soon
