[David_H]

That's it??? that's the best you got???

What. .. no sails?

[Bryan K]

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

[Tobobo]

I think I'm going to be sick.

That is truly amazing

[Axeonalias]

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.

[unigami]

This model is going beyond awesome....waaay beyond!

Are you going to model the rats in the cargo hold too?

[Axeonalias]

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:

[rbm]

Brilliant. Truly Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion.

[Axeonalias]

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]

amazing. truly.

[Axeonalias]

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

[numbthumb]

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]

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]

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?

[peter_shaw]

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]

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

[Axeonalias]

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]

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]

Here are a few in Game shots (Still unbaked)

[boofredlay]

Nice!

[Tobobo]

Would the sails be that reflective?

Apart from that a friend asked if you only make replica models or do you 'computer modes too'? (her words verbatim)

She was shocked to find out that it wasn't a physical model.

[David_H]

Would the sails be that reflective?

The sails are satin

This is a very luxurious model.

[iichiversii]

Beautiful, i would play with this model leke a chld would, i love it

[irwanwr]

that reminds me of my classic Sid Meier's Pirates Large Frigate
beautiful, Marius.
what render app do you use for that? and post pro?

[unigami]

This is so impressive! Regarding the "in game" images, what game is this?

i think its one of these http://www.hangsim.com/

[MALAISE]

AWSOME, really !

It's a master piece of naval drawing.

[Axeonalias]

Thanks guys, I guess those sails are abit reflective, Ill try get them to behave abit in game.
Haha hey compare my shots to some of the HSM Surprise photo`s...theres still a long way to go!
Im using 3ds max to render, post production? lol straight from max.
The Sim is Vehicle Sim Framework, does any type of moving vehicle, well almost

Did much work on the interiors over the last 2 days, Texture`ing, Refitting, and modeling extra`s. Looking for books right now that depict the furnishings of any of these frigates or period ships in general, pretty hard to find.

[unigami]

I get excited every time I see a new update on this topic...so cool!

I was wondering, not knowing anything about ships like this, why are the two cannons near the stern of the ship in their own separate room?
