WIP 18-pounder frigate

Well, my other ship, the Boston, had 20 percent more polies on the hull (plus 4 megs of textures and custom masts/standing rigging) and Inzane reported absolutely no performance hits when he got it ingame. But you´re right, this amount of polies is only acceptable if the ship´s unique and can only be used by the player. I´m going to test the perfomance on two computers (1 year old pc/4 years old laptop) and if its too much I´ll reduce the amount of polies and textures accordingly. But believe me, I´m really trying hard to get a good balance of appearance and poly count :)
 
Thanks :)

Did some work on the textures, not sure if the "used" look is okay, i´ll need input on that.

Yup, a veeeeery small one. Just came back from vacation and added the steering wheel and did some minor corrections to the hull :keith

Oh, its still on my comp, I just got tired of fixing hundreds of modelling errors - the boston was my first serious 3D project - after doing the rigging. But she will be ingame someday (the game could be Corsairs IV, though ;) )

Or such a ship like bava´s signature

The ship is the Sphynx, a 20 gun "jackass" frigate. I just got the hull done but nothing else to show atm.

But back to my current project, was in uv-mapping mood today and here´s the result:

I´m pretty happy with the flow of the planking, some glitches are still left, but it shouldn´t take to long to fix them. Next: modelling the 18 pounders :D

Those two pictures remind me so much of the Frigate from the movie Masters And Commanders, i think that Frigate was a little more shallow at the front and had 40+ 18 pound cannons and was a two decker. This ship is really nice and i would love to sail that ship in AOP2 when she's released.

Well done and keep up the good work.;)

That two decker with 44 guns was infact the USS Constitution or rather a model of her, and she is already ingame and I don't really think this ship looks anything like her.

Still really nice work Bava and we really can't have enough frigates.
 
anything new around here ? :keith

Not on the ship, I´m doing a lot of tutorials atm to learn one or two new modelling tricks, should be helpfull to improve certain areas of my ship that I don´t like.

And I´m trying to make a few new items for a small Mount&Blade mod. In the case you´re interested, here are some pics:

Hehe, I knew somebody would notice it, a lot of PA people are playing M&B, too. :p
Btw, I tried to get it into a M&B scene just for sh*ts and giggles but it always crashed during loading, too many polies for a single object me thinks.

Whats your nick on taleworlds, TtT?
 
I didn't register, I just read it through. I am a lurker. I am very interested in the polished minimap mod and pensulinar war mod.
