Thanks Guys!
@ Aaronfeld, im Using 3ds max 2010 to render with only a plane and a skylight
@ Bryan K, I wish that would be nice Indeed!
Heres a little Update :

Added many Lines mostly for the Sails Furled Model as VSF does not support moving Ropes yet

liam887 · 25 Nov 2011, 01:27

how many segments on average do you have for the lines:

axeonalias · 27 Nov 2011, 21:07

Liam887, I am using and Avarage of 12 Segments with 3 sided Circles for the long curved lines, and single 3 sided for the straight ones.
The seperation of the Main Deck was not an easy one, there will be 2 models of this deck , one with Guns Stowed and one at quarters with all furniture and Paneling stowed below.

This is still just a basic detail of the Main Deck, there are still many Items to be added.

Flawless and fantastic. Any chance of seeing some hidden geometry?

axeonalias · 29 Nov 2011, 08:17

Thanks, Ill get a render for you asap
More details added, still much more to do on this Deck but its getting there :

axeonalias · 29 Nov 2011, 21:14

Tried to get some renders with the Exterior Opacity set on 50% and seperate lighting for the interior, Will still need to fiddle with that in max, didnt quite work out

Here are some renders with the top deck removed along with all the Parts above the Gun Deck.

Dang!!

Y'all South Africans are a talented modeling bunch, Silvershadow, underdog, you.

The amount of detail achieved with low poly modeling is brilliant.

axeonalias · 30 Nov 2011, 15:22

Haha Thanks Solo, but I dont think she counts as low poly anymore, she hit the 100k mark
A quick Look in Game :

axeonalias · 30 Nov 2011, 21:33

Still trying to get some decent Cutaway renders, seems theres no easy way around it, going to have to sit and cut the section to view through manually

axeonalias · 1 Dec 2011, 19:38

Many Bits added, Anchors, Many lines, 182 Bits and a few other small things, Not to many things left to add to the exterior, Looking forward to start the texturing process.

That's it??? that's the best you got???

What. .. no sails?

Bryan K · 2 Dec 2011, 21:50

Seriously, start sending out your resume and small portfolio. Especially to the historical depts of the Navies.

Tobobo · 3 Dec 2011, 13:36

I think I'm going to be sick.

That is truly amazing

axeonalias · 9 Dec 2011, 07:29

Haha Thanks Guys, Sails will come shortly but I will be using the Cloth in 3ds max for them, well I think anyway

Chain Pumps and Common Pumps added, here are some X-Ray views showing the positions.

unigami · 9 Dec 2011, 13:36

This model is going beyond awesome....waaay beyond!

Are you going to model the rats in the cargo hold too?

axeonalias · 9 Dec 2011, 14:03

Haha Thanks Unigami, Not sure about that but If I do get to characters etc. Ill concider some Rats in the Breadroom
Started some texturing, The yellow on the hull is temp as it will be Properly UV mapped soon, and here are some 1st person views from Below:

rbm · 12 Dec 2011, 16:54

Brilliant. Truly Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion.

axeonalias · 13 Dec 2011, 07:23

Mapped the hull and added some basic textures, the masts will still change and im not 100% sure about the Blue Strake, I think I prefer it to be Black as the later frigates had it, mainly using HMS Surprise replica for referance to colours. Oh and the Stove is in

irwanwr · 13 Dec 2011, 08:57

amazing. truly.

axeonalias · 14 Dec 2011, 16:00

Thanks irwanwr!
More texturing done, Still have Much to do on the Hull texture, The deadeyes will be black, and im thinking of making a new wheel is im not happy with the current one. My Pc Die`ing yesterday didnt really help things either, had to reinstall everything on another pc, Lucky I didnt Loose any Data.
