Chimera Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Are you modeling it "just for yourself" or will it be implemented in the game some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 well I made it so it would be up to standards for the game considering textures poly count etc. So if it would get in that would be awesome but if not I also made it for my portfolio as I'm trying to build a career in 3D modeling. People don't care about your resume in this business and look at your work instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 but.. she is a Hebe class ship, right? the 14x18pd? Cause the picture Malachi posted is from la prosperine, is a british design. Comparing her to the Trinco. I like La Prosperine so much more. Without those over prominent bulwarks she looks much sleeker.. (Since Trinco(Leda class) is basically a copy from the french Hebe class) I believe your drawings are from the 1809 proserpine from a different class, there are massive differences both at the bow and stern shape. But I might spice up my stern a bit with these kind of decorations though. But then again it must be historically accurate. The plan I posted is signed by Lubet, who was the master carver at Brest from the mid-1760s to the late 1780s thus responsible for the decoration details.* And I far as I know there was no other Proserpine built by the french navy, only a british Amphion-class 5th Rate of the same name captured in 1809. And the only thing the Hébés and Ledas have in common is the shape of the underwater hull, the rest is as british as it gets *but he had no influence on the actual construction, that explains the different overall shape of the transom and the 7 stern windows config instead of the 6 drawn by Lubet. Stuff like this was entirely up to the constructeur in charge and the ingeneur (Sané in this case) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BungeeLemming Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 outch >< I mixed Wind's and Malachi's posts up.

freddykrueger66 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Update: Finished the rigging and made spec and gloss maps for all the textures Now I'll be making furled sails 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikard Frederiksen Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Fantastic work, a very nice model. I've my fingers crossed that it will make its way into NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 Started reworking the stern for more decoration and detail, got 1 of the sculpts done and its baked to a low poly version of only 250 triangles, gonna make a couple more sculpts and probably add a little bit more geometry too, some parts look pretty dull. Also added these little pillars between the window frames. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulwyf Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Beautiful work, the cannons especially. Now if we could only walk around the deck to check out the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintjacktar Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Please put this in to the game devs! What a gorgeous ship. Would probably hire him too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Freddy, did you catch my note on the quarterdeck cabin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 yes, There are supposed to be carronades there which I have yet to model so the cannons there are placeholders, carronades are small enough for use next to that cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 yes, There are supposed to be carronades there which I have yet to model so the cannons there are placeholders, carronades are small enough for use next to that cabin. Are you sure the cabin would be present in wartime? It looks very un-warlike and would certainly be highly atypical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malachi Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 British 'as taken' draughts of french frigates quite often show a poop deck cabin, so the french certainly used them during wartime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 exactly, this is how she was outfitted when she was captured by the brits. I'll model some carronades after everything else is done and that should solve the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Another carving done, tell me what you guys think, does it fit the ship/french style? Also this is just a test color i still need to make materials for these carvings. This carving is baked to a 1377 triangle low poly mesh btw As for the carronades they are really easy to model and only sets me back 1 day probably so thats not a problem.

Surcouf Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 It's a nice modeling. However there are several details that are not good. What plan did you use? When was this frigate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 laid down in 1784, got admiralty plans from when she was captured by the brits, but it's pretty basic and doesn't show a lot of detail especially in the carvings. What do you think is looking wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surcouf Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Ok! Original name: la Poserpine Laid down in 1785 Launched in ??? Struck of lists in 1796 Built by J.-N. Sané Place of building: Brest Other names : none in French Data: Length x breadth x depht in hold 142'6" x 36'8" x 19' (Pied du roi) 46,248m x 11,91m x 6,171m Deplacement: ??? Artillery of origin (1786 type): 1st deck - F'c'sl/Q'deck 26x18-pdr (or 28x18-pdr) - 10x8-pdr + 4 howitzer of 36-pdr total: 40 (or 42) The same plans of la Vénus. (Standard plans of Sané) http://ancre.fr/en/monographies-en/21-monographie-de-la-venus-fregate-de-18-1782.html#/langue-anglais What is wrong: (Sorry for my bad English...) - Delete the flag mast, it is on a halyard at the head of peek - Mizzen mast of unpainted - No gun chacing - Not yeard of mizzen, exchange with peek - Add a boom - Put a English-style mast-cap, not French-style - The toilets are not in the right place - Delete the counter-sprit yard - One piece of arched sprit - No port lid except the gun-port on front - For the mizzen mast, it is divided into three parts You have modeled a rigging of the 1760/1780 French style. That's all for the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 thnx a lot for the feedback I was modeling this without knowing there was an entire book with details from a sister ship... If only I knew about this earlier lol, would have taken most of the guess work away. I'll take a look into it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddykrueger66 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 More Details on the stern. Something is looking wrong though, can't seem to find what. Anyone got any ideas? Oh and I'll close the bottom 2 lids next too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Perhaps that the cannon holes on the upper deck are not completed, and seems like you used two different shades of black for the stern and then for the sides.
