SteelSandwich Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 small tip, the lower decks themselves don't need that many sub divisions, no-one will see them. It's an easy way to free up another few hundred tris. For upper decks its still arguably rather high,5 is more than plenty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1ckL35 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Share Posted April 25, 2017 Good tip @SteelSandwich - I've reduced them a bit as advised. They could probably go lower but I got distracted tidying some bits up and making some internal ladders which wont probably be that visible (and aren't in this render) https://skfb.ly/67HEB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1ckL35 Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 You might not see much of this but I was intrigued as to how the steps were arranged internally and how it allowed access around the ship. I've omitted the orlop ones as they won't be seen at all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1ckL35 Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Another hull test. This time showing the steps and hatches across most of the decks as well as starting on partition walls etc.. The wheel is just a slightly modified one from the last model and is way too high res. I'll sort that at some point https://skfb.ly/67Qy8 Edit: reduced the wheel polycount quite a lot now Edit2: I've now uploaded a version with the hawse holes tidied up (in the hull) and also showing the bow parts and the current basic stern Edit3: Added a bit more detail Edited April 29, 2017 by T1ckL35 updated 3d model 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1ckL35 Posted May 3, 2017 Author Share Posted May 3, 2017 Adding some of the top railings and starting to figure out the upper bow parts. Still needs edging/smoothing properly. https://skfb.ly/6q6tr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1ckL35 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 (edited) Adding a little more detail around the bow area and tidying up some of the upper rails I think the textures will be important around this area judging by reference pictures of her sister ship, the princess royale Edited May 8, 2017 by T1ckL35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. P. Hill Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 So, excuse me for dragging this one up from the depths ... But, T1ckL35, where'd ya go? What news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1ckL35 Posted September 11, 2017 Author Share Posted September 11, 2017 Howdy, I'd got a bit disgruntled with the game and distracted with Hearts of Iron 4 earlier in the year as well as spending a bit more time offline. Funny you should post because I've just started playing Naval Action again and am just ramping up to start continuing with this model. So I may well kick up Blender tonight and start trying to remember how to use it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. P. Hill Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Good to hear from you @T1ckL35. Had me slightly concerned you might have become a statistic. Looking forward to your refining work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1ckL35 Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Cheers @A. P. Hill hopefully not in this case Last night I tidied up some bits, separated some wales, separated some parts from the bow that didn't need to be part of the main hull mesh and am just having a play with arrays in Blender to make the steps down the outer hull side. Then I might tackle the rudder or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1ckL35 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Still working on the stern - not too much to show at the minute. Here's a question to modellers - how do you do the actual windows? Do you model the frame around each window pane or do you use a texture to mimic the windows being see through and then use texture to make the white frame area?

BungeeLemming Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Model them. They consist of the frames and a transparent face that is the glass. This is the sternpiece of my wreker class vessel: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
