S. Pz. Abt. 505 King Tiger
« on: January 24, 2012, 03:29:23 PM »
This is my skin of a S. Pz. Abt 505 King Tiger. This unit received King Tigers in Aug-Sept 1944 and fought against the Soviets with them during the retreat through Poland and Eastern Germany until it lost its last tanks in April. Unusually their tanks all had the unit's emblem, a mounted knight in armour, painted on the side of the turret. On this tank the crew cut holes in the zimmerit to paint the emblems on. Tactical numbers were painted on the gun mantlet.

I have used the new bump and spec maps on this skin. The bump map gives the zimmerit, fasteners and grilles a better 3D appearance while the spec map gives the cables, tools and spare tracks a more reflective sheen.

Holy cow. You're right, the bump mapping did wonders for it. Very nice, as always  :aok
