Little more work.. not happy with the bow yet
On main deck looking forward

On main deck looking forward
Got the rudder finished up. Just need to add gallery and the bow decorations and the main shape is finished up. Then it’s on to final deck layouts and furnishings.
Coming along nicely Aaron and i like the swell on the sea too.

Thanks! The ocean is a blender modifier not part of my game engine unfortunately.
I worked in some deck stuff and bevels to see the overall look.
I tried attempt 1 of the stern but it got messy. I’m still brainstorming how to tie it in.
Making progress
Certainly starting to look the part Aaron.

Nice cambering on the transom. The lack of crown to the decks on miniatures always bugs me, and it's nice to see it represented in your transom.

Thanks! I didn’t have time to take real screen shots tonight so I used the phone. I cut the windows in. I need to add the ‘lights’ I believe they are called. I then will narrow the area where the rudder and stem meet up and shape the back to the stern so it transitions well. Then the quarter galley. Then it’s on to the head/bow.
Oh and I need to cut the stern gun ports out on the quarter deck and the two below for the gun deck. Then I need to fill in the top bulwarks and add the top of the frames in the front. And the catheads. And the channels.. oh boy.

Not much work there then Aaron! What are you going to do with your afternoon?

I’m testing a simple repeating tiling texture to see how it looks on the side of the hull. Not too bad.

Added windows in Q gallery.
My ref
Are you going to devide them into the small panes Aaron? How the heck are you going to manage the tackles as the guns run in and out?

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.
started modeling an 18 pounder and the helm. Good change up from the hull work.

and a few cut away interior shots
Both looking good to me Aaron. I love the Sunlight and shadows contrast slanting in through the gun ports.

some small details added... getting close to modeling the rigging and masts
Started some head rail work, shaped some of the main mast, and added some low poly deadeyes.
Wow Aaron.
That is really starting to look something. The detail you are getting in there is superb.

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 at the moment. I’m ensuring I can get these textured the way I want without having to start over so I’m proceeding with caution. Here is a trial mast texture I made from scratch. I plan on adding the fish along the sides of the mast for the finished detail. I’m learning that to texture a 100 foot long object such as the hull using a massive texture isn’t a good solution here and I need to employ some tricks of the trade.Originally Posted by Bligh
Impressive even as it is now Aaron.

Aaron that's beautiful work, genuinely love it
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.

Well done that man.

Working on main yard
I’m listening to some sea shanties while working
http://brethrencoast.com/shanty/Randy_Dandy.html
Keep listening... it's working!
Very pretty! Keep up the good work
No-one expects a ship full of dwarves.
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 promising. Video shot of screen so it’s rough.

Great Aaron.
The unfurl is very effective.

Thanks.. here’s another with unfurling course and lifting topyard with sails sheeted in.

What happend to this mind-boggingly amazing project?
Don't know Daniel.
Aaron dropped off the radar in June 21.

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 printer and printed out my old game model ship. I am liking the results thus far. Early prototype that I’ve beat up a bit.
Great to hear from you, Aaron! Nifty model there.
Thank you sir!
I printed the stern larger :). I can’t help myself!
I am a total newbie in the world of printing 3D. I gotta figure out why the stern is turning out so digitized. Fun to look at nonetheless!
This sounds INCREDIBLE! I would love to follow this project
Please feel fre to keep us/me posted.
Seems a bit bigger than 1/1000
Nice work.
I need to work out what the actual scale is!Seems a bit bigger than 1/1000
Nice work.
Cheers!
Aaron, you are doing just marvellous work! I am deeply impressed with this. Let us know if/when you need any testing of sorts (if there will be anything to test).
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 such as unreal when I get back to that eventually (and time permits). Right now I am focused on 3D asset creation and learning artist techniques that I can load into a game engine. These are things I can pick up and put down easily. This is just a hobby and is really enjoyable to explore what is possible.
Those pictures are looking very good so far Aaron. As a non programmer i can only stand back in awe at the skills of you people who can construct these moving masterpieces.
