Update: I'm sorry, but without any useful software, I don't think I'll be able to help with the <i>Dutchman</i>. It is my belief that someone's going to get me the latest version of Photoshop for christmas. After that, I'll be good to try it for real. I have a color palate to use, featuring various colors used in the real ship. If anyone wants it, let me know and I'll post it to the FTP.


Merry Christmas! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
it would be nice if you could post a screenshot of the end result when you're done. i'll see if i want it then. i'm planning to become a CAD designer, so if i do, i'll help you guys out. or even make the kraken if i can. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":woot" border="0" alt="w00t.gif" />
 
I think that we also could use the WAR galleon of AOP, it has a nice balcony that you have on the pearl.

uh Dutchman i mean
 
yes, i've seen it. the front isn't right though. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" /> the one from the flying dutchman is narrower, and it needs the grim reaper of course. but it would be a good base. but why not make one from scratch?
 
Progress has stopped until after Christmas. I simply can't work without a decent photo editor. Hoping to get one after the holidays. Merry Christmas! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/type_1.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":nk" border="0" alt="type_1.gif" />
 
Update: Found an image editor called the GIMP. I need to know what the skin file is called for the 'War Galleon' so I can use it as a template.
I'm using Build 13 if it's relevant.
 
The War Galleon's skin texture file is bortoutgaleonw.tga.tx. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doff.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":doff" border="0" alt="doff.gif" />
 
GIMP is a great program. I highly suggest getting the GM_Viewer off of Pieters site. You can browse through all the ship models available and it will tell you what textures each ship uses. There might be better ships than the war galleon to use as a base. (I can't really remember what the Flying Dutchman looked like, so I can't give any specific recommendations, but I couldn't imagine doing any texturing without the gm_viewer)
 
the war galleon would be the best base. ever tried looking at all those pics he posted? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="icon_wink.gif" />
 
<img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/hi.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":gday" border="0" alt="hi.gif" /> Agreed. I bought another War Galleon just to make sure. I'm going to try to use her as a template till someone can make a model for it. I'f the skin turns out OK, the only thing needing changing would be the bow, with the Grim reaper. To the modder who takes that up, you have my condolences <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

good luck. i'm really looking forward to seeing it!

it's times like these that make me wish that modelling ships for PotC was as easy as sculpting them with clay...i'd've made hundreds of ships!
