Buy USS Missouri - BB63 3D model

This is a high resolution model of the battleship USS Missouri (BB-63) created from plans, drawings and photographs. The USS Missouri is an Iowa Class battleship with a length of 887 feet and a full load displacement of 57,540 long tons. The model is highly detailed and is meant to reflect how the ship looked in the 1944 - 1945 period. It is suitable for high resolution rendering and video. With 2.7 million polygons it is probably too heavy for game engines but should be easily navigated on most computer systems for stills and videos. The model was built to be accurate and look good from any angle.

The ship was originally modeled in Lightwave 11.6.3 and the renderings were produced in Lightwave 2019. Versions of the model for those two Lightwave versions are included. The base “hull” surface (hollered and black) is intended to be smoothed/subdivided, with the 3 16 inch gun turrets and their gun barrels on separate layers and rigged for movement. The secondary ten “5 inch” gun turrets are also on a separate layer for easy selection and subsequent animation as are the Bofors quad turrets and other AA armaments. Other layers include the Kingfisher aircraft and the superstructure and detail layers where detailing was becoming poly heavy or for easier selection.

Wavefront .OBJ models were saved from this layering system (about (20) .obj layer models and accompanying .mtl files) and an FBX version of the model is also included (both fbx and .obj versions have maintained geometry and texture assignment but will need some texture work).

The seascape model and textures shown are also included (the wakes are painted on) on a separate layer as are mattes to back the glass on the navigation and signals bridges.

The Lightwave 11.6.3 version has versions that have a standard texture application and a version that is textured for Octane render. The Lightwave 2019 model has both Standard and BSDF texturing versions. The models have UV mapping from the side for the main ship model and for the Kingfisher aircraft. 4096 pixel color and bump maps are included for this UV mapping. A cubic mapped “Hull and ship plating” texture with color, spec, bump and normal maps used a 12 and 24 foot repeats is also included. All maps are included but you may want to load your own HDR or “sky” images for reflections and global lighting.

Included:

LW 2019 model - layered for animation with standard and BSDF texture alternatives. Hull texture on base layer for subdivision. Main 16 inch guns rigged for movement. Secondary armaments on separate layer.
LW 11.6.3 model - layered for animation with standard and Octane texture alternatives. Hull texture on base layer for subdivision. Main 16 inch guns rigged for movement. Secondary armaments on separate layer.
OBJ model - separate model files for each of the layers and one complete model file. Partial transfer of textures.
FBX model - FBX model exported from 2019 model with Partial transfer of textures.

Textures (in images folder in LW 11.6 folder):

UV set and 4096 texture map for x plane of full ship and kingfisher aircraft. Plating normal, spec and color maps applied cubic with 24 foot repeat and 12 foot repeats. Various bump and transparency maps.
