I think you said "Tug?" you were thinking of harbour tug yeah?

I hope you guys know the boat is a Pleasure Craft, not an actual tug boat. It is just called an American Tug

He started to make a model of this boat http://powerandmotoryacht.com/boat-tests/american-tug/american-tug-41-MAIN.jpg , but changed his mind while modeling, if I'm correct. This model is American Tug 41

lol, because it looks like a tug, has that style

Are there any updates, Captain Spencer?

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #55 on:** March 18, 2009, 00:08:20 »

Hi guys,

Well the original model was going to be the American Pleasure 'tug'. I can't for the life of me see why the Americans call them tugs, as they're really just pleasure craft.

However, the model did not go very well, so I decided to start a fresh, and this time it worked a charm. This is the boat you see in my latest screenshots.

Right now, I'm working on the boat, so you may well see some very nice screenshots very soon. Stay tuned!!

they call them tugs because they look like tugs, www.americantug.com (http://www.americantug.com) www.nordictug.com (http://www.nordictug.com) they're both tugs styled hence the name

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #57 on:** March 20, 2009, 11:07:32 »

Well I've made an update guys. Hopefully you will like it!! The texture of the desk needs to be changed to something which suits, and a few other bits needs texturing properly but the other bits look good.

and yes, I designed everything you see here from scratch. No template models or imports!!

Looks cool, but why 2 set of controls?

firestar12 · « **Reply #59 on:** March 20, 2009, 20:44:53 »

Sorry if this has already been asked, but what program is this?
EDIT: Gmax correct?

Dual control. Sort of like aeroplanes if you see what I mean. I don't know if this is done on smaller craft such as this boat but I thought it would look good

Not using Gmax, just Hexagon for modelling and Carrara for rendering and texturing (with bump maps ect)

Stay tuned for more to come!

I most centantly will...

Minime · « **Reply #64 on:** July 01, 2009, 17:44:41 »

you might have seen his topic about his graphic card, so I guess he's not able to do much modeling, but that's just a guess.

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #65 on:** July 01, 2009, 18:05:42 »

Hi guys,

Yes unfortunately I am unable to continue modelling at the moment due to my graphics card. I've not done any further work on this vessel yet but I hope to continue the model as soon as I can.

I'll post when I have any further information. It's very frustrating not being able to do any work

Cheers,
Adam

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #66 on:** July 01, 2009, 18:20:19 »

I hope so too Damiant, it's frustrating not being able to play SS at the moment!!

llamalord · « **Reply #67 on:** July 02, 2009, 18:44:02 »

The worst of all evils!!!

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #68 on:** July 02, 2009, 20:34:01 »

Exactly. I do plan on doing some more work though, and not just on the boat

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #69 on:** September 30, 2010, 01:20:49 »

Hi guys,

You'll be pleased to know that I have started to continue with my model since I upgraded my computer a little.

Here are the most recentl renderings of the vessel, with new additions

Comments, suggestions and wishes are all taken onboard (no pun intended

)

Very nice! Would be nice to see even more vessels in Ship Simulator. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the purpose of this vessel highly similar to the classic yacht from SS06 and 08's add-ons?

Captain Spencer · « **Reply #71 on:** September 30, 2010, 09:33:24 »

Hi RMS,

Classic Yatch, I think you must be mistaken because the classic yatch was just that... a yatch. This is a workboat, not a cruiser

Also, you didn't say anything about the model or pictures hehe

Master Captain · « **Reply #72 on:** October 01, 2010, 02:05:45 »

very nice looking

Thanks guys.

Anything you think I could add, change?
