Hi,

I will model my own ship, but it is hard to get a good plan from the web.

Have anyone a tip for me ?

Some plans for free at danish section.

A website about Jack Aubrey and some plans of his ships.

Feel free to add sites in this thread, maybe someone other is interested too.

you might try a memeber named meigger he models ships also, like as a hobby now.
 
yes is my hobby.
a ncc 1701 constitution class is already made but the texturing is very hard <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />.

i have to learn the right work with nurbs.

my goal to make a new ship for aop. but the nurbs... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

What is the suggested modelling tool for AOP? 3DSMax? Is there a plugin for Lightwave perhaps? Or is it more aimed at Alias?

Where can I find the current tools for exporting?

Thanks,

I would say : All programs they are works with nurbs.

Here are my thirst results with nurbs <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bookish.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":mm" border="0" alt="bookish.gif" />

Acutally, preferred tool is Maya 4.5, since Akella has designed plugins for it that allow to export the most complete model...
 
Are those plugins available to the modding community?

Thanks,

Cap'n Drow
 
the works on the old frigate are going on =)

Sorry for missing this post.

Yes, plugins for Maya 4.5 (and only for this particular version, apparently) are available for us. You can <a href="http://robotsdontbleed.com/suraknar/tools/PLUG.rar" target="_blank">download them here</a>.

<b>Sisko</b>, that's a sharp looking frigate <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> What's the current polycount?
 
Excellent, I'd actually found them and sadly found out they don't work for my copy. Need a recompiled version of the plugin to work with the version of Maya I'm using. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modding.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":modding" border="0" alt="modding.gif" />

Hi, the Polycount = 4511 in this version.

Thats looking damned good, Sisko. You've really been working that bad boy over.

heeeeeey, the ships in PotC don't have cannon hatches or anchors, do they? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> the ship's lookin' great! send a screenshot of it in-game if you can.
 
The ship isnt finished yet, so no ingame pictures, and i think he made the ship for AOP. That is the reason that this ship is in AOP modding tread <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
 
i know it's for age of pirates, i meant that he should put up a picture when it is finished so i could see it in-game.
 
here new pics for you =)

is here anyone where can help me with the textures, binding in the program and animation ?
 
I think I could help you with the texturing, but unfortunately I'm rather busy at the moment... <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" />

And, you don't have to make any animations for the ship.

What program are you using?

(Also, this ship looks kinda like the <i>Flying Dutchman</i> <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Although FD is better armed, it's definitely the same ship's type)
