I am grateful for feedback. Have fun now.

Here are some pictures of the HMS Sophie.

Its more a Brig and I think, if the plans are realized, a 3D the model will look like this:

 

[pgargon]

Just as it is. Sloop of War is worth a confusing term. Brig captures exactly.

 

[Takeda-One]

Now let me guess where this COAS loading screen comes from...

 

[Officerpuppy]

Ah, Sophie! I'm sure that ship held a special meaning for him in later years.

Its more a Brig and I think, if the plans are realized, a 3D the model will look like this:

both of u are right she is a brig ,but would be rated as a sloop of war this apllies to all ships up to 18 guns wich were to small to be rated as warships , if i remember correctly

We do have an HMS Sophie in PotC, which is a remodeled and improved stock game model.
Still, I'll be the last to complain about a new one being made.

 

[Officerpuppy]

Well, maybe she can be renamed Nutmeg of Consolation :

Confusing ship designations are part and parcel of the Age of Sail - various great powers classified their ships accordingly, thus a sloop of war (which may be termed a corvette in France) as aforesaid bears no resemblance to a sloop.

Similar 'confusion' exists with the bark or barque - the latter is simply an English classification for any 3 masted ship not falling under any contemporary ship category; thus a French barque longue can mean an entirely different sort of vessel than a Bark (this is reflected in Build Beta as we know and historically-derived naming didn't cause any problems yet)

First Test with the GM-Viewer

 

[Oskar94]

How can you convert the obj in gm format?

How can you convert the obj in gm format?

I do not need obj format, but they can obj. let it be imported to Maya and then export directly into gm. There is a plugin for Maya.

 

[Oskar94]

Ah, ok, for rhino there isn't a similar plugin?

 

[Pieter Boelen]

No, there isn't. The plugin was made by Akella, who used Maya to make the actual game models.

 

[Oskar94]

doh...

New Update 13.02.2010

HMS Sophie is slowly taking shape.

 

[Thomas the Terror]

Nice work man! Very curious about the end result.

 

[Oskar94]

Excellent!
Now we've got the Sophie, the Bellona and the Surprise...
Only a thing, the bulwarks are white...

 

[Takeda-One]

Wonderfull, this will be another brilliant Artwork!

 

[Officerpuppy]

It is quite nice!
