Anchor Handling Supply Tug

[axeonalias]

Here is the next project ,a 1980`s AHTS :

It will be textured and mapped properly once all modeling is done, and all Modeling is being done in Sketchup. She is around 15000 Polys at the moment with a budget of between 15k - 20k (exterior).

Can you brief u on how she functions? Is this an anchor recover vessel? Is the small central drum and the odd hull shape for the vessel's own working anchor?

Hi Roger, I think what you need to see is here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_handling_tug_supply_vessel

The drums aft are removeable as those are Cables setup for laying on the ocean floor, They will be able to be removed in game ,I will be adding some Rig anchors along with other types of "cargo" soon.

The odd shape of her is perpose designed, and I have no explanation yet for its shape

This should translate into a repaint or 2 if I can keep my psd files tidy enough

Well work on the Bridge has started, I have limited information and have yet to find some more pics of what can be found in a bride such as this :

Great project

Do these ships get used as part of community gaming content or are you developing these for a gaming studio?

I know it's for a boat simulator
