    WIP Early XVIII-century barque

    This is my first project in Maya. A few weeks ago I decided to create something in Maya 2013 to compare it with 3D Studio MAX and to decide which program is better and more convenient. This vessel is a barque-rigged merchant. Her plans was found on one of Russian ship-builders forums. I don't...

    Understood. And what about cab interiors?

    WIP Sviatoi Piotr (St. Peter) snow

    Many thanks, Post Captain! A question to the HoO guys. Are there any requirements or restrictions for the HoO models? Such as number of polygons, level of details etc. What is the collision and damage model? Shall I create some damaged parts like detachable shattered bulwarks, railings etc...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    The stats I provided with the model are for stock COAS and there's nothing lighter than 12lbs guns. As for more realistic stats, I think this xebec should be armed with 6-pounders. It's a pity that we can't place different guns on our ships in COAS, because this particular one could carry much...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    So, am I right to say that the model looks like it should be and no any additional work on it is necessary? In that case I can switch on St.Peter snow and finish her at last.

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    It is quite easy to harden/soften edges in Maya, so I don't need to use smoothing groups in 3d max. Actually I never tried it. I only used a 'Smooth' modifier, which adds many additional polygons, It is really BAD for storm engine, thought it allows to create ideally smooth surfaces.

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    I've done everything according to the instruction. I think the model looks a little bit smoother now (see the 1st post, there's a link for a new version), but there's still some sharp edges at the vessel's bows. I think the only way to make it look smoother is to increase the number of polygons...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    well... A noob question... Is there any command in MAYA 5 which I can use to select ALL the vertices of current mesh? MAYA 5 works like shit on my laptop. I can't actually use a perspective view, so there are some problems with selecting vertices to merge them. Thanks in advance!

    I can try if you tell me how to do this, because I'm not very good with Maya.

    Released at last. See her page. Actually I'm going to start working on anchors very soon. So I'd be grateful for any reference material.

    Sorry for a delay! Released at last!

    She will be released in 2-3 days. The in-game testing is almost done!

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    Thanks, Post Captain! I completely agree with this statement, BUT... The storm engine is not good enough particularly for lateen rigged vessels, such as xebecs and tartanes. At first I placed the yards in the same direction and didn't like the result. First of all I don't lake the way the mast...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    Actually, there's no problem with normals. This visual effect is created because the gun port has two different textures, one texture on the front and rear of the port and another on its side. And these textures are slightly different in colour. I'm not really good in texturing so I left them...

    Hmmm, interesting... Right now the mainsail yard is named rey_a3... And she doesn't raise the sail in battle mode... Well, I'll try to check it out for some mistakes maybe. Anyway, thanks for the advice!

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    An update ;) she's almost finished at the moment. But there's a small problem I've stuck with. The matter is that I can't make a 'battle sails' mode on this xebec. There are only two options: all sails hoisted or no sails at all, but I can't force her to take off a mainsail, for example...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    Hi, Armada! I've been here all the time, just didn't have enough free time to finish my projects. I've married a few month ago and now I'm in Poland on 3 months job contract. I can't model anything here, because my laptop is not suitable even for old modeling stuff such as 3d studio max 8... I...

    WIP Elessarias Arcadia Xebec

    I have 2 modeling projects and decided to take a converting project although. It is 26 guns xebec Arcadia from PotBS made by Elessaria. She's already in 3d max and properly scaled. I think she would be a great replacement for XebecVML. Here are the screens: Btw, she is quite heavy on...
