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.

Well thats it for this Year Folks,Have a good one!
Iron Firehearth and Stove added,Jeer and topsail bitts added along with the Modified Windlass (Modified in 1777,not by me )
All you can see of the stove in the last 2 shots is the Flue and the coaming on the deck.

Lol Oh please My boats really look like a joke compared to this stuff,The Ithil Gallery...I just saw that thread and I dont think ill be able to recover,ever. bear in mind my stuff is for games and not for renders,oh and that Train is amazing,Su and its Users really have come a long way,up there with the best of them!

Stephen The whole yard is suppose to be at an angle and she is Tied down from when her keel is laid,when the ship is complete she will slide to the water which is suppose to be behind her ,like such :

Many more Bits and Pieces added,smaller details take some time,all done as low poly as possible (Well to my standards ) She is nearing the 20,000 poly count at the moment,Taking away the faces facing up from the framework below the decks freed up 4000 Polys,My Budget is 100k,Im sure I will get her in under 50K

Hehe was worth a try,its a animated Gif so uploading it renders the animation inactive,shows on my pc so i thought I have found a way around it,can understand why,Ideas?

Here is a View of the decks and layout :

Hehe Thanks guys,Everything is modelled in Sketchup,and im using Max to render,the first few shots were with KT.
Deck Fittings Added,Ladders and the Hanging Knees were added,There was little information on them but because of the way that each beam meets the inner hull at a different angle,each hanging knee is very different thus has to be custom made,Found the Wagon

Very Nice Render Tadema, I noticed the Wooden Wagon on the left there,could you perhaps link me to a download for it? was looking for one to use with my shipyard,to lazy to make one

Main Deck Complete,Carlings,Ledges,Deck Knees and Beams all added,Still need to add the Hanging Knees (Vertical Beam Supports) Sail room (in the Centre of the below deck) needs to be properly fitted.

Thanks Guys
Starting The main Deck,Had some issues with Drawings and Scales,Some have the ship lined to the waterline and some have her on the keel,which changes the angle slightly,and the scales keep changing per drawing...slightly annoying but neccesary for printing I guess.

Thanks Tomislavm
Updates :

Breast and Deck Hooks added Along with the Mast step

Scaffolding and The Rudder Crane added to the shipyard with some other details

So Here is the next one,this is my second attemp at making her,the first I had managed to model each plank in her Clinker hull only to find out i had modeled to few planks :righton:

The Plans I am using are from the Anatomy of the ship series with no less than 129 pages of drawings and information for her,so no excuses there then, Ive modelled a simple Slipway for her with the Layout taken from a Sailing Ships Encyclopedia I had bought some time ago.

Wile she is similar in build to Seaflower,She will have a full Interior and much more detail to show off,Im having Fun already

In the last render I had found the soil texture I had been looking for so renders from now on will have it in use.

3eighty Im not sure if I will be uploading her onto any other sites as Ive had People steal my models and sell them on other sites, and there isnt much I can do about it. If I can get my Turbosquid account working i might place her there, Oh and decoding xx files is higly illegal.

Thanks, The weathering is a bunch of new textures
Well after taking a break for a wile from her ,its time to finnish her up.
Ive added all her instruments,Helm and second helm, Throttle and many other static details,im thinking all that is left to do is the working doors
The helm Colours and anything else can be easily edited as everything has baked textures.

Thx,those textures do seem pretty clean,but they are from real used nets.
Interior coming along ,In game shots,Working instruments etc not added yet :

Thanks John
Bake Complete and im Very Pleased with the results,Ive manadged to Remove 1 2048x2048 texture since the last bake and fitted it in with another as it was oversized on the texture,this has greatly improved her loading time to about 3 seconds.

Very nice textures,impressive Renders

Thanks Guys, Horseman A) 3ds max B) Royalty free textures online
Nets added and the rest is weathered,and ready for a bake
the Nets are included with the Trawling models so will not be baked in the Ships Textures due to them moving,Although the Stern net will not move so it will be baked in.

Blueprints are priceless
