I always had a weakness for the britannic. I remember my very first time here on the forum, when i started a topic about adding the britannic to the game. unfortunatly they said that she looked to much on her sister ship the Titanic. nice job BtW.  :)

Im now working on starting the smoke and its particals. It doesnt always start out look realistic, but the end result can be stunning. EDIT. Here you go guys. This was after hard work and many Re-starts but you can only get better Eh? And I am also working on having this more realistic. Also Night shota and different time of day shots:Tell me what you guys think.

Just a thought,  What Particle density are you using on that smoke?

Hey, fire, the HMHS Britannic's funnels were White Star Buff (the color of the lower half of Titanic's funnels), which was the ship's only indication of being owned by the company. The HTML color code for a fresh coat of this color, as believed by Ken Marschell (last name sp?) is #DAA06D, which is:

Red: 218
Green: 160
Blue: 109

So you get the right color ;)

I say go ahead and finish the ship!

It's a good amount of work, but I can do it.

Those figures were from memory, though. I remembered it from the TRMA forum when I asked for the code.

This text is in White Star Buff.

Thanks for the Heads up. I was close though eh? And llamalord. If what you mean by that im using 88 particals. Edit: Gigantic are you sure? Thats not what the movie looks like and it looks a bit odd.

You used a faded White Star Buff. ;D

Thank you very much, I was just hoping not to do the trial and error work. ;)

The program's RGB selector isnt quite right. Like for the materials. It only goes up to 1.000. lol. So i cant enter 109 or anything. And I tried 0.109 and all that but it doesnt work. EDIT. Guys I am working harder and harder and have acheived this nice night shot. I knew it wasnt a lie about Her Funnels having lights but i didnt know where so maybe Gigantic could know. (Im too lazy too look at a pic)

Titanic had no lights on her funnels. I can tell you that. You would need to look up info on the Britannic, which is just outside my knowledge range.

Also, the code was for RGB between 0 and 255 per color!
Title: Re: Some Small Britannic Projects.
Post by: llamalord on September 28, 2008, 23:56:53
I've found the blue prints and old black and white pictures of the funnels and this is what I got.

Now if you could just get that fresh paint look of White Star Buff!
Title: Re: Some Small Britannic Projects.
Post by: llamalord on September 30, 2008, 02:01:52
On mine I used your suggested composition and I think that it looks rather good but not like the Titacnic's paint for some reason. :-\

Well, that's what Ken Marschell (sp?) believes it to be.

Is it because you thought the Titanic's funnels were generic orange instead of a unique shade of buff for a long time? Or maybe because you always saw faded versions of the color?

Ok back on topic eh?

Your being a bit strict in your topics lately....it's still the mods who have the say, not you.
Title: Re: Some Small Britannic Projects.
Post by: Minime on October 01, 2008, 15:51:59
It is his topic, and he is just trying to keap it clean, so the mods don't have to
Title: Re: Some Small Britannic Projects.
Post by: firestar12 on October 01, 2008, 20:50:31
At Minime: You are correct, I like to do that ;) Try not to get too upset Nathan
And at Third Mate: Ya..lol. Really We do need that. I doubt im going to have a "New Smoke Patch" Would be nice to think so though. Will be posting a new Vid Soon. Is it ok if i use one of VSTEP's Audio sounds? I will even Tell that they made it and no infringement is intended. If a moderator (Fred Preferably Because hes wisdom or Terry) Please tell me if i could in a PM instead of here.
