Outstanding modeling ,I assume you know a bit about boats..because looks very good!

Cheers!

Thanks Ely ,you can never seem to know enough about boats
Anchor Winch and fittings added, Bow bollards, Fairleads, Pond boards, and some Vents added along with the round parts of the stancions.

Another Silvershadow?
I think it would be much nicer if you increase the segments value
btw, great work, cant wait to see the complete model

He is modelling for a game eventually so he'd rather needs to keep poly count low. IMO this is what makes the whole thing even more interesting; to see how beautiful these works are while being disciplined and moderate with poly count.

Cool model.

Hey Marius, beautiful work mate! What are you rendering with? they are crisp renderings....

Epic champ!

Excellent work. I too like the clay renderings and was curious about the program used.

Do you have dimensioned plans for all of the parts?

axeonalias

Thanks guys,her poly count is at 38k now, Im using max10 to render at about 10-20 mins a render, I have Real life plans for many vessels which I have obtain through a friend who has an archive of them , Its a costly procedure scanning large pages into digital format though but well worth it in my book.

Some more bits added,Trying not to post to much but I just love doing these renders,cant seem to get bored of them
Prop Texture is Taken from the actuall prop of a fleetwood trawler like Navena

utiler

So what program do you render in?

axeonalias

Hi Utiler, these renders are done in 3ds max 2010. Here are some 1600 x 1200 res images
Exterior is almost complete,few more small things to add ,bridge basic layout,helm and Engine Telegraph complete

utiler

Cheer, they are sweet!! Keep 'em coming....!

So Now the Exterior is finnaly finnished with all the smaller details added ( Until I notice something else ). Aft Nav light, Focastle Ladder ( Gangway?) , Bilge Keels , Otterboard Rigging ,Loose ropes tied up on the mast and Life Bouy`s added So work on her Tiny interior can begin. While doing the Otterboard rig I then realized why the Gallows where different fore and aft, also the reason behind the positioning of the Centre and side Bollards, Only Part that didnt go well was the Most fore Pond board,It had to be cut down abit to allow free running for the lines, Ive noticed that the aft Gallows do not line up with the next pulley in line on its way to the winch,there will be chafing there, I would have addded a Pulley on deck just before the Gallow.

Here the lines can be seen running into the Trawl winch from the Fore and aft Gallows

Here is the Item in Question (Aft Gallows) Notice as that line enters it chafes the steel side structure of the gallows,then goes up into the block and down onto the otterboard

This blows me away. Is this one of those "I am doing this just for fun, practice and hobby models?" or are you doing this for the Smithsonian or something? This stuff is incredible.
In other words. . .

WHERE DO YOU GUYS FIND THE TIME?

Spaceships, Trawlers, Tanks, Battle Cruisers. . .I'm in awe. I still struggle with Photomatch.

axeonalias

Lol Thanks David, Fun, Practice and feeding the ol` modeling addiction

Couldnt resist texturing,the Bridge will have to wait ,So some areas are complete although im not totally sold on som of the white rust textures,will still need to play around there, The Hull texture came out pretty good,I took it about a month or so ago when we where picking up the pilot ,she was empty so she was far out the water,which is perfect for my little boat compared, oh and she was nice and dirty,patched up etc

Here is the ship I took the texture from.

Frederik

Difficult to find the right words...
This sure is an incredible job... Awesome texturing...!!

axeonalias

Thanks Frederik
Exterior Texturing complete,some things noted like anchor chain isnt going through the deck...hole needed , The otterboard are textured and sorted, 3500 poly per board before texturing and 500 per board after texturing times by four of them gives me a saving of 12000 polys she is at 58000 polys right now.
