    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    Right, thanks :) Sketchup automatically shows back and front faces, I presume Maya has a way to delete these back faces?

    Quick question, how are faces handled? Are double sided faces supported? If yes, how important is it to have all faces correctly orientated?

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    Did you see this picture, or are the spar lengths still incorrect here? My initial error was including the studding sail booms into the spar dimensions, this is now corrected, and to me the spars appear accurate to the plan.

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    After having substantially reworked the hull mesh 3 times now (not to mention smaller adjustments), and having to start over on the UVs each time I'm leaving well enough alone until the shape is 100% final :cool: Made a new head to the early Leda plans. Still needs the head seats and...

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    Hadn't even noticed the Quarter Galleries were curved... Better? :D Think wireframe pics are the best way to learn how a more experienced modeller works :) I'm debating the stern chasers... Some Ledas seem to have them, others don't, even within the first batch of the class. Stern...

    FBX would be great :)

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    Thanks :) Certainly room to simplify the hull mesh but I'm not expecting a huge difference in polycount, the hull including keel is only 2k atm, and even if I reduced that by a 3rd that's 660 from a total budget of 80-90k I've seen quoted on some existing models... Anyone have some cannon in...

    Slightly better? :) Captain Armstrong has given me an excellent sailplan, blame all errors on my lack of knowledge ;)

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    Sketchup has no ploycounter but tells me the model has 6124 faces, which should translate into a similar number of tris, I've been careful to avoid 4 sided polys, only main and mizzen masts use them (and not for spars or details). Should be possible to improve efficiency a lot, for example the...

    WIP - HMS Shannon (1806) 38 guns

    My first 3D modelling project :) Started her for PotBS, but looks like it will be very hard to get her into that game (timeframe for models has been extended, but dev team is currently 3 people and none of them can import a model), so now for Hearts of Oak, CoAS, etc. Working in...

    Need Help Where to buy?

    Apologies if this is the wrong section of the forums... Been looking at the mods and a few gameplay videos, would love to play City of Abandoned Ships. But where to get hold of the game? Not on Steam, Ebay has no UK copies, Amazon has no UK copies, cannot find for sale anywhere. I'd...
