[WIP] HMS Interceptor (+ Tutorials)

She's very nice. Are that the ingame brig rigging? Those are some pretty big trunks for such a pretty little brig.
 
:) Very very nice, Sweet mama that a sight for sore eyes,I been modeling myself, built a sweet Nelson 74 hull, But for some reason every time I export the mesh to gm useing the plugin that is on this site,the mesh looks like it exploded.I can see you dont have this problem.Where have I gone wrong?I am using Maya 4.5 with the plugin and trying to make a hierarchy that works,Got one working so it least exports but as I mentione it looks like the mesh exploded :) ,Any help would be great,
 
Hi Inzane!

Your problem is that the mesh is `double-sided`.
Uncheck "Double Sided" in the Attributeeditor:

And a working hierarchy would be:

The "locator1" is the parent of everything and also marks where the waterline will be ingame.

Note that the "fireplaces" (where the ship burns when hit with bombs) are not shown on this image. You would simply place the `fireplace-locators` and group them to goup "fireplaces". Same with the front and rear cannons. The group names would be "cannonf" and "cannonb".

Also note that the mesh has to be a certain size (rather large), or else maya may crash or the mesh exports corrupted.



Hope that helps! :)

He do, that he does, he shore do!
 
:) your so cool Skeleton Bob it worked,no more popcorn ships :) . Any clue how to invert those polys in maya??
 
got it :) alot of hidden stuff in maya,But so far so good. :) Thanks again ,This is kinda exciting ,reminds me of my early days modding SFC
 
I love the ship, but the 2 stair cases that lead up too where the helm would be. On the Interceptor(Lady Washington), there is only one stair case. On the port side.
 
Got the hull in game :) but for some reason its tiny.The fish swiming by me are huge :) I scaled the mesh to the same size of a exported mesh thats in game .Or did the conversion to obj screw up the scales :)
