WIP Flying Dutchman Project: Cursed & Uncursed

unknown.png


Honestly, ive grown rather attached to this old model over the years its almost going to be sad to see it finally rest.
 
It's already in half rest.
I had temporarily replaced the cursed version with the "Caleuche".
The uncursed version is still the older one.

Of course once @Gowras' model is ready the "Caleuche" model will be replaced.
Or at least that's what I see happening.

Same here.
@ZarethPL did do a pretty good job at her; and she served well for many many years.
I got SO used to her! :rofl

Where is Zareth anyway? I had a texture almost finished for his model using the photos for reference....was looking pretty damn good then a friend kindley formatted all 3 hard drives just to reinstall Xp for me. That was the end of that and another 10 years worth of stored work. Lol....Bravo.

I honestly don't know.
So many people have come and gone over the years; most just vanishing without a trace...

But some return again.
Like you, for example.
Always a please to see some old salts again. :cheers

Calmness. Now I am already working on something that will not be visible in the screenshots. Plus I was taking a little break. High quality work is not done quickly.

Thank you very much for those words.
I know I did very little in this thread; but still it does me a world of good to be reminded of that sometimes... :oops:

I am correcting the geometry, correcting some individual moments that can be made better, finishing small details, slowly dividing the model into parts. Locators are still far away =)
For example, initially the sides of the ship were just a texture. This can be seen in this screenshot. without a texture, there's just a wall.

Now I have done everything manually. At the same time, each side and damage are unique. If you look closely, you will see it here.

Dedication to detail right there!
Alpha maps too simple for you, eh? ;)

It looks pathetic when approaching. eye hurts. When I did it through the alpha channel. inside, you still had to trace each hole with modeling. Was it easier for me then? definitely not. But it looked clearly worse when viewed from an angle.
