Excellent work as usual, and fast.
Just one question,how does one get to top deck? there does not seem like there is stair access or a door.
-
Texturing is getting on,many many little details added including safety signs, Navigation equipment, Aircons, Spotlights ,More Rails etc.

Here`s something I was wanting to try for a while ,and Hey she looks pretty sweet as a mini container vessel
-
Wow, that is amazing work.

why do boats always have round corners on the upper levels? it must be more difficult to build.... and model!
thanks for sharing, great work

Adds strength and reduces injuries to crew on pitching decks.

Thanks, Im no Ship Designer so I wouldnt know,maybe some research is in order
After being asked for a Wireframe render I had to go and find out how those are done properly, Although this one of the ship isnt 100% right, Max seems to get overloaded easily,I had to cheat and make the faces Opacity 90% so that all the Wires would show, Max would randomly show and hide wires all over as it pleases so ill still have to perfect it,but it works for the interior:

Marius, these are something else, just modeled my first car and it puts me even more in awe of your modelling skills, just simple things you put in like those containers on there own are superb....
Take care John -
Massively impressive work!
-
Thanks Jason & Tadema,I would like to see the car you had modeled,Ive always kept away from cars since I had a bad experience years ago trying to model a golf4 in Maya...
And heres a Horrible Unbaked shot in game with the Bridge fitted :
-
Excellent work as always. It's as if though you can almost touch it.
-
Thanks Gus R, In Sketchup... you can touch it
thats what sets Sketchup apart from the rest!
Work progresses inside the bridge,still plenty to do but im having great fun doing it :
And here is the start of the Suction Pipe Control Centre (which Im guessing is no longer in use as the whole suction pipe assembly was removed)
Oh and a Question, what are these rubber mats called? :
-
It is absolutely extraordinary
-
-
I think those are called anti-fatigue mats but not sure. It could be recycled tire material as those are durable and no slip. I did a quick Google and this mat seems like a possible candidate but didn't spot a big image.
