Schooner "Lettie G. Howard" 1893

Sails are up! the fishermans sail will unfortunately not be able to work in game as it is fixed to 2 axis and deforms by nature, the sim does not support this and it would look very strange if it rotated on either of the 2 axis.

I appreciate it if please share more wireframe images. Also, the rendering style is really enchanting to me, what rendering engine do you use?

Thanks Majid, those are done in Vray

She`s just about ready for the next phase, just need to optimize all the mirrored items and touch up here and there.

Heres a short vid, not sure how to embed it properly here :

A masterpiece as good as any. Thanks for showing this to us, it would be very nice to see any more that you get around to.

Something to brighten the day.

Thanks guys, we are in the last stretch now!

After about 20 Hours (3 Days) of UV Mapping, shes just about ready for the next phase, heres how it looked after day 1 :

And now :

Oh and I forgot to mention another day was spent just getting her animating correctly in game:

Ive noticed many errors already, but all in all the wood is bending just how I was hoping it would, its the first time ive managed to map a hull correctly so that a straight material will follow the hull curve correctly.

And heres with some colours applied, this will all be properly redone soon:

This thread is one of the most outstanding I have seen. The details and rendering are over the top and the video is truly amazing IMO.

Thanks guys, I am glad you are enjoying it, this has been a fun project so far, im excited to get to the sails, no idea what im going to do there yet as far as materials go.

The hull is almost ready, just tweaking the materials until im happy with them, trying not to overdo the weathering, but its so pretty
