Naval Cutter "Alert" 1777

[Krisidious]

that is a really kool simulator... the water effects are amazing. can you put land and buildings in that simulator? after seeing this I'm afraid you're going to have to make a movie and show us the Alert in action.

Well Shes almost there,All baked up and looking gorgeouse in game ,Baking took about 8 hours to do a total of 12 bakes ,8 2048 x 2048 and 4 1024 x 1024. Just have to fit the one glass window and the longboat,im not quite happy with the longboat,might add some more details and rebake,it being seperate makes it easy to modify,might even get a more attractive 18ft Jolly on there.

The combination of modeling skill, presentation style, and subject matter, makes this
the best thing I have ever viewed on sketchucation.

Masterful!

Your skills are top notch.

I want to echo the praises already said here. Model is fantastic! Presentation throughout this work was top notch also! It looks really great in-game and I would love to er, "drive" her. It has been awesome following your work and I look forward to see the result of the ship on your other thread. Once again, thanks for showing us and taking the extra time to put together a great presentation look.

This should be moved to the gallery as it is no longer a WIP, right?

I have read through the comments and you briefly describe your process for creating the hull in one of them. Do you have any photos showing the steps of this process or could you post some photos. Did you do all this work with the free version or the pro version? Any special plugin's?

Speaking for myself there are a lot of model shipwrights who are looking for a CAD program that they can use to build ship plans with, your work clearly proves that SketchUp is very capable of this in the right hands. Is is possible to get your model for study purposes at least the hull section?

Thanks

It is a gorgeous model and presentation. The only thing it needs is some human figures. Because it's so lifelike, it looks like she's sailing all by herself.

You've inspired many of us. Thank you.

What an incredibly ambitious and well executed project. Right now you should be PROUD!!!!
