This ship! It will murder all of our computers!

She's a grand vessel, Mr. Robville.

The restaraunt above the bridge sounds rather unique to me.

As for the desk, it looks like it could be a great reception desk!

Oh she's not that big then..

Its still amazing

Mr Robville · « **Reply #453 on:** October 28, 2010, 12:56:55 »

thanks

i have done some work at the structure above the bridge, i finished the restaurant walls/windows, added the radars, and the antenna:

i read that some people like to climb into masts, so this antenna will be able to climb in:

the door will teleport you to the roof, and from the roof you can climb the stairs to the top.

the antenna still needs a lot of more details such as lights, horns ect.

Mr Robville · « **Reply #454 on:** October 28, 2010, 17:03:55 »

the antenna seems finished for now, it's possible i missed a few details. i added the navigation lights, a bunch of antenna's, port and starboard lights, horns and some flags (for the dutch people, don't ask me why a flag of Wamel is added

)

Are you certain you can teleport in walkthrough? And can the mast clear the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge? And do you think VSTEP might allow those flags to wave with the wind? Just wondering

Anyway, she looks great! Can her navigation lights fit all light configurations currently offered in SSE?

Mr Robville · « **Reply #459 on:** October 29, 2010, 20:18:10 »

i know the teleport function worked in SS08, if it doesn't in SSE i will make a ladder. i read you could climb a mast on a ship so i think ladders will work.

the mast is shortened by a few meters, the ship already fit below the bridge by just a meter, so now it will be able to fit under.

the mast's layout is practicaly the same to the Qm2 so SSE must be able to offer the correct configurations.

i am asking about the flags, if they can't be animated i will make them static.

I thought the mast looked smaller

I rather thought the old one looked too big, anyway. Good to hear

lolz! unless he gets disqualified for useing more than 3000 vertices per meter

And texture overload, but the new funnel is a succes! The first one really did not fit this beautifull ship.

i decided to make some controll panels with buttons on it and such, it makes the bridge look a little more interesting instead of having the ship's controlls itself alone.

Matthew Brown · « **Reply #463 on:** October 30, 2010, 19:51:31 »

I must say it's looking incredibly nice in the bridge now

What's a Ship Simulator ship without extra controls that don't do anything?

Even Titanic has all of her telegraphs, with 3 that don't do squat in-game

Mr Robville · « **Reply #465 on:** October 31, 2010, 12:44:20 »

hehe

as i am working on my laptop, it's very hard to do any big progress on the ship so i decided make something little else:

a bar for the officers lounge.

Looking good...

Are you sure its not too poly heavy - my Channel Queen is a empty shell and it is way too heavy $:-\$

Mr Robville · « **Reply #467 on:** October 31, 2010, 13:22:38 »

optimizing will surprise you how much polygons you can safe.

a small example, cilinder objects don't need 32 segments for railings and objects smaller then a meter. instead use 5 or less rotation segments for this job.

also polygons that will never be seen are useless and take up unncecesairy cpu power. if you delete any polygon that sticks into a wall for example or the bottom of a table which the POV of the camera will never show. you can save tons of polygons with that.

there are lots and lots of more tricks for optimizing, badly enaugh GSU is not a #1 tool for optimized models.

I think SU is my problem - my railings are all square, and I try not too use many circles/curves.

I have already gone over every unwanted polygon

Alright, now I'm feeling the need to ask if any real ship has an officer's lounge, with bar, in the bridge.

I don't think I'd want any drunk officers that close to the controls
