James - Thank you for the kind words. I will definitely reach out to SoG memebers when that time comes. I have not coded in a few years now. I am leaning towards using an established game engine...

I need to work out what the actual scale is!

I did have to drop off for some years due to competing priorities. I did keep polishing my 3D skills so when my kids are a little older I can resume with some efficiency. I recently got a a 3D...

First time to hear about this. Thanks for sharing.

Nice, I saw this on YouTube tonight. Good job.

Seeing the flag history accelerated my interest in getting my animated flag sequence down. Here is a test run using the image from above.

Thanks all for the encouragement.

I wanted to share a quick test of the sail physics for possible usage in a baked format (prerendered). This test was to get the basics down on rigging. It looks...

That sounds about right!

I just received in the mail a new gaming mat made from neoprene mousepad material. I picked it up at

Finally got my head around how basically a mast is constructed and boiled it down to a medium detailed poly. I still need to add the wooldings and square up the mast head.

Appreciate it! Some tutorials I’ve watched said to start roughing it out first and then make a medium detailed pass and then add the fine details. I am somewhere between roughing it out and medium...

Started some head rail work, shaped some of the main mast, and added some low poly deadeyes.

The hull is cut up on small quads. I should be able to punch holes using my old code with some extra code. I added the top bulwarks and gun ports.
