My renders somestimes take up to an hour even with my extreeme graphics card. Of coarce it does vary depending on the complexity of the model and the particular scene. Sometimes it turn all of the anti-aliasing down to do a fast render first to fine tune things.

I am glad my renders take 5 minutes the longest. I a lot of it can be your lighting settings though. I like to use a clay render or usually ambient occulsion.

That's very nice Firestar, can't wait for updates.

You guys (Especially Diamant) Seem to love to help out! You know what would really help me right now? If you guys could find me some photos of the stern, particularly this area where there are supposed to be doors. If anyone found pics of the doors, that would be a great help. Thanks.

firestar12 · « **Reply #56 on:** April 20, 2009, 03:20:26 »

As I was pointed out, it is not a doors, but there are vents. I really am not looking forwad to finishing the railing work at the stern. Very boring work I tell you. Very repetitive too...
Also, model photos are a big help too! about 65% of this work would not be possible without some of the model photos I have seen. Also, if anyone could find out how far in they went, that would be good.

lovely

llamalord · « **Reply #58 on:** April 20, 2009, 13:19:55 »

It looks like a garage door.

firestar12 · « **Reply #59 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:21:11 »

Haha....I thought it would be a good shelf if I were to make it bigger on its X axis. Only you would think that, llamalord.

EDIT: Look what Firestar decided to do today!
You know what would be great you guys? If anyone here could find out what kind of floor that deck I added had. Perhaps wood maybe?

Minime · « **Reply #60 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:26:38 »

very nice, get's better and better

firestar12 · « **Reply #61 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:26:38 »

Thanks Diamant! If anyone here ever had any questions or wants to see a render of a certain area on the ship, just ask! I am working on it as we speak!

I always thought that she was built without any wood at all apart from the Butcher's Block?

Where did you hear this? Also, what is the Butchers Block?

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #64 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:55:10 »

Just something that I have always known. The Butcher's Block is the block of wood in the Butcher's Shop used for chopping meat on!!

And it's here too:

firestar12 · « **Reply #65 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:56:15 »

Hm...no wood. I think that would be kinda awkward. Do they say why?

Cutting down the risk of fire

firestar12 · « **Reply #67 on:** April 20, 2009, 22:58:11 »

Ah yes....Thanks for the link Mike!

She's coming along nicely Firestar, keep up the good work

firestar12 · « **Reply #69 on:** April 22, 2009, 00:05:32 »

Thanks my friends! Also, new question. Rather than that thing in one of my other updates being a vent, would it make more sense if it was a window? This video supports my theory. They have a similar shape.

firestar12 · « **Reply #70 on:** April 22, 2009, 01:26:41 »

I don't know about that. What did you mean by that exactly? Did you mean by all the interior? It will be like Titanic, with mostly just deck space walkable.
Edit: Here is an update. Them are some dirty windows! No, that is just because of the ambient occulsion light settings. It won't appear like that in the game. (IF it happens, remember)

Sure, I will work on it right now.

firestar12 · « **Reply #74 on:** April 22, 2009, 23:48:18 »

Ok it is rendering right now.
EDIT: Here it is guys, notice I added windows all along the starboard side.

Poll

Who would like to see her in ShipSim?
