Released the one and fifty three

[nightwatcher]

"And the sun went down, and the stars came out far over the summer sea, But never a moment ceased the fight of the one and fifty three."
from the poem "The Revenge: A Battle of the Fleet" Mr. Tennyson

Yes that's the goal. more or less

yesterday it's looked so

and at the moment I am here

for 3 days it should be ok

 

[morgan terror]

what kind of obscure format is that posted in? the imgaes don't load.

 

[nightwatcher]

hi Morgan Terror,

the obscure format is .jpg. I loaded them on the ftp for hosting. I can see them clearly in preview and in the threat.

 

[Hylie Pistof]

An English Galleon!

 

[Armada]

A 16th century English galleon? That's perfect! We've needed a new one for ages!
Thank you so much for building this ship; I'd love to see the final product!

 

[nightwatcher]

Wohoho "leave the horses in the stable" as we say at home. As this is my first real project in 3D.
Thanks and all tough thinks can be made, if her planks get wet.

At the moment I begin work on the forecastle.

did the pictures show to everyone???

 

[Armada]

Well for your first project, you're certainly off to a good start.
Besides, anything will be better than our current English galleon, believe me!

I can see all your posted images just fine.

 

[morgan terror]

yeah, that would be why i can't see any of those images. i haven't acessed the new ftp yet.

The accessing is handled within the picturelink. So Nope

It's more likely that your provider ( are you at work maybe???) or your router, block's the ftp port.

 

[morgan terror]

nope.

 

[nightwatcher]

Than k

 

[Thagarr]

Great choice Nightwatcher, she is has some great history behind her!

I am really looking forward to seeing this beauty in game!

 

[craiggbrown]

Very nice pick mate. Looking forward to see her underway!

 

[nightwatcher]

Due to an meeting between the bombsquad and a WW2 bomb in our backalley yesterday, I was'nt able to do much on her.

Today I worked on her deck's and put she "quickly" together, to get a better feel for her!? (You know what I mean. : )

And for your viewing pleasure here She is:

As you can see I am at 2738 Triangles by 1544 Vertices.

To work on on her, I need to know a few things:
1. Need the cannons been to be build or can i use some form of prefab?
2. the Mast's are separate models? Yes, till they can be destroyed...?
3. 2 Models per Mast? 1 destroyed, 1 functional?
4. What's the Tricount of the Raa Frigate or Mourdaunt, for example? To have a guide on how many I can spent for clutter.

It would be nice if someone can answer this questions... ( Thanks in advance!!!!!)

 

[Armada]

She's coming along nicely!

In answer to some of your questions:

1. You can use cannon models from other ships, there's no need to make your own.
2. Yes, the masts are separate models attached with locators.
3. The damaged masts should be part of the hull, while the normal ones are separate.
4. I'm not an expert on poly counts; someone else will know what's reasonable.

I hope that helps.

 

[HundertzehnGustav]

fast mover you are.... nice job!
idea: make it possible to walk on the balcony.'
impressive.


edit...
the one and fifty three, 153, all sorts of variants thereof dont sound a bell in my head or on google.
whats the name of the ship?????? (yea, its a an amateurs question)

 

[morgan terror]

i wouldn't know. guess why?

 

[nightwatcher]

@Armada:
Yes, thanks that helps a lot.

@HundertzehnGustav:
Walking on the balcony is an option I'am thinking about. But I have to know how much tris I have left for interior and co first....
@edit: Her name is the HMS Revenge from 1577. Sir Francis Drake sailed on her and others....


@Morgan Terror:

If you get an error message, please report it, so i have'nt to guess what the problem for you is.

................

I read somewhere that a stock shipmodel has 7000 Tris . Is that correct? Does 10000 Tris be ok too??

 

[morgan terror]

it simply can't find it. that's all i'm getting.

10000 is more or less the amount of all the newer models, i think.

Can you access the ftp?
A problem whit the Cache maybe or are you using a proxy-server, so its a cache problem too, but by the proxy???

10000.. Thanks. Ok so i have an mark to head against....
