Title: Glitterwake
Post by: Captain Spencer on March 04, 2008, 18:55:38

Hey everyone,

Just started 3D modelling and have been playing around with my program today. JamesD said to me that it's hard to create ship hulls in my program, but I've proved him wrong!!  :D

Let me know what you think of my model, and please only constructive critism. Please also bare in mind that I've only just started in 3D modelling, so I will be slow and not that good.

Cheers :)

Very nice :) Especially for first time :D

Is it to model your boats?

Changed the shape of the hull slightly, and added the rudder ;D

Thanks for the kind words everyone. In a way, modelling something is a lot about understanding how 3D works. Once you've gotten used to the concept (i.e perspectives ect.) then it's just about using your imagination. Hopefully, when my program stops crashing I will be developing a 3D world for people to explore.

Who knows where this will go, but I'm going to work on the boat for now :)

Regards,
Adam
