    Better deck crew?

    I meant the proper HMS Surprise but the HMS Rose would be fun to make. She was stationed in the Caribbean for a while so it would make sense to-boot! Pieter: What's wrong with using AOP Characters exclusively if they're better then? ...I'm also envious.

    Better deck crew?

    Are the AOP models better much better? Oh, as for my other ship, it'll be the HMS Speedy. The Sophie uses her hull so half the job's already done. On the Speedy the front mast is further forward, there's no quarterdeck, detailing is different and there are more cannons, so It'll look quite...

    Better deck crew?

    Assuming it's possible, would there be a demand for better (Higher-poly) crew models in sailing mode? I know performance is a big issue, but if we only updated the highest LOD version you'd only use the new crew on your ship so the impact would be minimal. Perfect, as from a distance they look...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    Thanks guys. Still need to sort out all the smoothing groups so she'll look better after that's done. Kind of wish I'd toned down on her complexity at the start though as it's slowed the whole project... along the same lines, I also kinda wished I'd used NURBS, but this way I don't get any...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    Thanks Pieter <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Here are some new pics. I've been busy for the last week and haven't been able to work on it as much as I would like, but it's pretty close now as the hulls all...

    32 gun frigate WIP

    Excellent work. Can't wait to blow her out of the water <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> I would be interested in seeing some wireframes too (just out of curiosity.). You use Blender right? Tried it once but...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    I've just been tidying the rear and adding the top of the quarter deck. Next job will be adding the gun deck and figuring out where the gunports should go. Unfortunately the plans have too many guns for the Sophie as does the wooden model (which has 16 for some reason) so I have to place them...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    The Speedy was Lord Cochrane's first post with which he captured the El Gamo, a Spanish 32 gun Xebec Frigate. O'brian wrote that the Vincejo was what the Sophie was called prior to being taken from the Spanish. In truth, the Sophie is more of a mix of the two ships, having the Speedy's lines but...

    HMS Sophie W.I.P

    Greetings all. This is the first ship from the McTowel shipyards. The HMS Sophie, Cpt Aubrey's (of Master and commander fame) first ship/boat. I'm using the plans of the HMS <i>Speedy</i> as a base with parts of the <i>Vincejo</i> grafted on (being the way O'brian envisioned it) with some...

    Thanks guys <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> She should be finished in about a week tops. I'm also doing a straight HMS Speedy version with the extra guns and no quarterdeck (plus aesthetic changes) for the...

    Hi. I happen to be making a model of the HMS Sophie myself at the moment. You're welcome to use it in the mod when it's done... Shouldn't be more than a few days work to get it ship-shape <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0"...
