    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    A new update: Conversion is almost ready. The brigantine works fine and looks even better. At the moment there is only one problem with cab interior texture which I'm going to fix as fast as I can with the help of Pgargon. Another two textures would be ready in a few days. Here are the screens...

    La Sirene

    I sent the model to Nightwatcher. Hopefully there are 4 different models of this ship with 4 different levels of details. Yes, the first one has about 480k polygons, the second one has 245k. The third and the fourth have 46k and 8k polygons and look worse than COAS stock ships. So I've decided...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    Interesting... But I've made it in a little bit different way. I've exported the brigantine1.gm to .wrml format and then imported it to 3d max using the wrml plug-in. Anyway, I'll try to scale up the model by a factor of 100. Maybe this is the solution. Thanks for advice, Armada!

    I'd be eager to help, but the scaling problem is still unsolved. Pgargon confirmed that the model is scaled well in 3d max and it seems to be well in Maya but the problem occurs after exporting to .gm. If this problem will be solved at last, maybe I'll try to finish Friedrich Wilhelm zu Pferde.

    WIP KrisWood's Lyon Hoy small trader, 8 guns

    I've decided to take this project while I can't go any further on Castell Friedrichsburg conversion. There is not much work to do, so I think It will be finished pretty soon. My next steps would be placing guns, creating a cab interior and making two more textures. Lyon_hoy_v1.03

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    Thanks for clearing everything out, guys. Maybe I'll try the PotC with build mod later when I'll get more free time. I am currently trying to convert the Castell Friedrichsburg but have the scaling problem. I've exported the model to Maya from 3d max, then imported the stock brigantine to make...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    2Armada: Sorry for a dumb question, but what means "yards that need to be modelled inside-out"? Do the normals need to be flipped? Or should I check the "opposite" flag in object attributes in Maya before convert it to .gm? Or maybe there is something else? Just want to do everything right from...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    No, I didn't. I am quite new on this forum and when I first came here I didn't think that PotC is still popular. I've played the PotC a little maybe five years ago and was far from being satisfied. Maybe it is because I am not the fan of the PotC movie... But everything is clear now and I don't...

    Spline Modelling

    There is still no advantage. Game engines understand the polys as triangles only. So if your extruded shape has the form different from the triangle it would be divided to triangles right after you export it from 3d max. Just convert your object to editable patch, for example, and you'll see...

    Oh, now I realized I've never mentioned that this ship is for COAS. Btw, if community would be very glad to see it in PotC, I'll make a lighter version of the ship for that purpose.

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    She is heavier than the Pearl. Even the stock brigantine is 30% heavier than the Pearl. The Castell Friedrichsburg is a little heavier than Raa frigate, because it has nearly the same size, the same level of details and has cab interrior and much more 3d ornaments. I'll convert it to .gm and...

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    So, the model is now finished. Rigging is done and I started to work on scaling/converting, making locators, sailorspoints and third texture. I don't know how much time will it take, but I hope to finish it as soon as I can. And here are few final screenshots:

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    Thanks, guys! She is nearly finished. It may take some time to convert it correctly to .gm format, because it would be my very first try to do that. Although I can make myself the sailorpoints file, but don't know yet how to make a the path.

    An update at last: - Finished details such as boat, ladders, gun ropes, etc. - Finished cabin interior. - Finished ornaments. - Svivels mounted. - Finished alternative color scheme. - Polycount decreased a bit. My next steps would be finishing the rigging, general decreasing of...

    Nation unique ships and quest editing

    I am playing COAS. Sorry, i haven't figured it out at my first message. Armada, your instruction is for PotC, right? Because I can't find the STORYLINE folder in my PROGRAM directory. Although there are no such fields in Ships_init.c as you specified... thank you! I've found something similar...

    Released the one and fifty three

    What game should I play to find the ship? GoF1.1? But there is no polacca there. I've checked all the ships with GM-viewer. If somebody know where to find that ship, tell me please. 2pgargon: Good news!

    Nation unique ships and quest editing

    Hi, everybody! Does anybody can help me how to make several ships unique for a certain nation, for example HMS Mordaunt for England and Apostal Felipe for Spain? What file in PROGRAM folder should I edit? Also I want to edit some quest spawned ships, for example in French campaign there is a...

    Interesting ship plans

    I've just spent an hour trying to gain an access to COAS ftp to upload the plans, but no result. So if anybody need something from my collection, PM me with your email and I'll send you the plans.

    Brigantine Castell Friedrichsburg 1688, upgraded to 16 guns

    1. There are 2 hatches on a main deck, and 1 on a quarterdeck. The grate is on a forecastle deck. Everything is done according to a plan. 2. Can you explain what means "catheads"? I am not very good in sailing ships terminology in English. 3. I'm sure but that does not matter right now. My self...
