Is this for the Smithsonian? National Geographic?

Wow. I just learned more about old boats/ships and shipbuilding than I've ever known.

Fantastic work thanks for sharing

Thanks guys,She is coming together nicely but there is still so much to do,and I cant wait to paint her to her original colours!

6 and 4 pounders added,Coming in at 1200 each there will be 16 of them in total,comes to 19200 polys for the cannons,which I think is abit on the steap side so ill be messing around with them to bring it down abit,each poly saved is multiplied by 16 so ill be optimising to the max.

Axeonalias, not much people can say, the model and rendering say it all

It's easier to see in the closeups that it IS a low poly model, but damn, it still looks fantastic!

Gaieus

Yes, low poly but there is a reason. Not everything has to be photoreal in the way we are pampered here nowadays with 2-3 really high poly objects in close-ups as standstills and such. Those have their place and this has its own place, too.

And indeed it is fantastic!!! I really enjoy the development presented this way!

axeonalias

Thanks guys,Ive been itching to build one of these without any regard for poly`s (without being stupid about it of course) but the only use for it would be renders,maybe ill take on a project like that in the future.

All Bolts added,These will be deleted after the baking process,they will leave little black spots on the texture to appear as bolts in game,And the 18ft Cutter boat added,Still not happy with the textures,will play around abit

fabrice de lyon

Great !!!!!

Bryan K

Not happy with the textures? Seriously?

Yer kidding, right?

axeonalias

Well closeup the textures did reveal another story and looked pretty horrible before she was painted,Shes all lined up now

Standing Rigging added,Running rig will be minimal as the Game does not support it (hint hint) ,mast fitted perfectly into its step and nothing needed to be adjusted on the decks to straigten it up this time
Main boom and Gaff are lying on the deck and will be fitted shortly along with all her spars.
A cutaway render will be posted next time ,Bear in mind that in reality Ships like these were launched when the hull was complete,The armament,masts,Rigging and sails were all done afloat.

axeonalias

Boom and Gaff is in place and rigged,sails are modeled but not textured yet,this is a lenghty proccess,this entire ship was made without any plugins apart from the sails.
