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

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.

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:

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.

The Launch took 5 hours to model

That's it, I quit!

Hold the door open for me

OMG

I think your work here should have proper safety labels or signs so consumers are well-informed about potential dangers.

Wait for me, guys!

stuff like this always kinda discourages me aswell. makes u see what a noob you truely are . i mean it should be inspiring, but cmon.... this is just too crazy

axeonalias · 15 Dec 2011, 15:27

Haha well after making a number of these ships before you might find you start getting into routine, and the well laid out plans really help.
Having Fun with the Texturing The Scrollwork is coming along slowly as expected. Main hull texture is still only in basic stages.

david_h · 15 Dec 2011, 15:30

Oh well. .. yeah. . ..it looks pretty basic to me. . . . C'mon! You need to step it up a bit!

When it's all finished. .. what's next? Are you going to model the bottle to put it in?

i bet he's gonna model a huge city with half a million 500k+poly mansions, and in one room of one of these houses there's a bottle with this ship in it

david_h · 15 Dec 2011, 16:03

Could be. . .or he could model the entire battle of Trafalgar. With a little Lord Nelson Standing on the bridge!

axeonalias · 17 Dec 2011, 21:46

Haha as if! wouldnt mind taking on a first rate for a project but man theres alot of detail on those ships. Maybe ill give the bottle a try when shes ready
Added many more lines and coiled ropes, Launches are mapped and seperated from the main mesh , will soon be ready to sail them both.

axeonalias · 19 Dec 2011, 12:12

Added Most of the sails, Will be adding more Staysails even though the sim does not support more than 6 sails, Will also have different sail setups for different weather conditions. New Helm added along with Cannon maps

axeonalias · 19 Dec 2011, 14:03

Here are a few in Game shots (Still unbaked)

boofredlay · 19 Dec 2011, 15:55
