No aged print effects added, but Black and white is more suitable for the time period

Tried a few superimposed shots, beats creating that entire terrain in 3d

Now that shes ready to at least steam under her own power, I can start making clips like this, same software "Vessel Visualizer"

Good old Blender! yes I import base mesh`s from SU to Blender to use its subdiv, handy

Life boats are in, Ratlines are complete and a few new materials are added

Thanks guys, I wish I could say the same about the speed, currently 3042 minutes in (50 hours)

Majid thats incredible speed for 1 day and the render looks awesome, well done!

The Iconic Telegraph is complete, and added the bowsprit chain lines

Thanks Bryan, I hope this project will not disappoint!

Started work on the standing rigging, similar to Lettie G Howard`s fittings, added a few deck fittings here and there, and of course added the chain plates

Completed the binnacle today, and almost completed the companionways, also textured and split the helm and drew the ships bell, not quite satisfied with the material settings yet, still needs some tweaking

Adding details 1 piece at a time, Tarp has always been a challange, If I add a binding rope then im sure it would look more realistic

Thanks Nxtdave, its weekend so its crunch time!

Using tileable texture does give you huge resolution overall, im not used to getting such clarity so close to my models!

Thanks guys, the purpose of this model is only to create a few images so im not to bothered about polygons right now, but I always keep in mind that I might want to convert it for a sim so I cant help but make it reasonable poly, wish SU had a nice simple built in subdiv like blender to enable you to switch back and forth when you need to! for this project I will be using tileable Pbr materials without unwrapping.

Links to our current projects below, I am still working on a dedicated page for Vessel viewer, but many vids created from it are on my youtube channel, this showcases its current capabilities.

Started a new project to showcase our new "Vessel Viewer" real time renderer

Kaimiloa was a converted 4 masted lumber schooner (built in 1900) that was converted to a luxury yacht in 1925

Thanks guys, I should have started a new project a while ago but I have such good reference for this ship, might as well go the extra mile and make it something memorable.

E Deck is now complete and in game, I had a pretty big hurdle that cost 2 days with baking a simple light map, Blender is incredibly slow at this, Substance painter has no way of adding lights so I had to roll back abit, I tried Marmoset 4 on trial, but its streamlined for baking high to low poly, if I could find a way to remove its built in cage funtion it would be awesome, it produced great results almost instantly, which takes blender days.., but without being able to remove the cage they were not usable bakes

Ive also learnt to unwrap and bake each duplicated item separately to retain the UV maps when duplicating a mesh in Sketchup, which is a massive time saver in the long run.

D Deck is modeled ( Last image ), now its time to unwrap

I thought it suitable to start working from the Bridge down to the engine, This is E-deck, Captain and Chief Engineer have mirrored cabins, this is a basic layout, ill be adding details and props here and there, but nothing as detailed as the bridge as the polycount is going to quickly go into the millions with so many cabins all propped up

That last render closeup is really nice and clean

Phase 1 complete!

And its finally in the sim, Still needs a few minor corrections and tweaking

axeonalias

Thanks guys, stay tuned there is still more to come, I still need to complete the 8x repaints and get everything animated and implemented into the sim.

The bridge is just about done, fine tuning the materials before doing the high res bakes.

axeonalias

Modeling complete, next will be in game testing and optimizing, before moving to unwrapping

axeonalias

Thanks guys, the modeling stages are coming to and end now, then off to the next department

Main wheel is finally in, and its console is just about done, next the filing area behind it needs to be populated with "stuff", Snacks area is just about done, might add a plant and a few signs more, and then the route planning area is complete

axeonalias

Bridge is taking shape, main Nav console is just about complete, main wheel will go next to the gmdss console
