ah nice, can't wait to see the rest of the hull.

Wooow, BigU was always one of my favorite ships, and your model looks very well so far

and Ã¤hm....if you want some good textures look here: www.cgtextures.com

What do you mean Diamant?
@ Becky: Ah yes. I use that site a lot. Thanks! Don't forget to vote either!

firestar12 · « **Reply #103 on:** April 25, 2009, 00:49:40 »

Ok, I will work on it.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #104 on:** April 25, 2009, 01:33:41 »

VERY impressive!

I would have waited for actual blue prints instead of simply approximating, personally, but that's just me

Do you have permission from NCL before considering applying for this to be in the game?

No, I did have some blueprints. Other than the hull, none of this is approximation. And NCL is putting her up for sail mate. I want to get this more done before contacting them so they actually see something in it.

Oh, okay. Scratch that, then.

What about the NCL matter? It could also be a consideration to have some of the money from each purchase from the shipyard go to restoring the real deal!

firestar12 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 25, 2009, 01:37:31 »

That was what I was hoping to set up. I don't know though, thats up to VSTEP.
Also, if anyone has bridge blueprints, that would be great because I would love to start the bridge model.

Watch some of the details of this video:

I had seen part of one of the cranes, and it might also have a short video on the bridge.

Sure Diamant, ~~how~~ is this any better?
Sorry, that sounded rude. I did not mean to type that how, sorry if I offended anyone.

firestar12 · « **Reply #110 on:** April 25, 2009, 15:24:26 »

Edit: Finally colored those windows.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #111 on:** April 25, 2009, 15:32:36 »

I can't help but think of the Battle Hymn of the Republic

I wonder if anyone ever thought of using that in a tribute to this ship....

firestar12 · « **Reply #112 on:** April 25, 2009, 17:03:32 »

Not yet. I will do that later. After I fix this subsurf modifier error. There is a problem where the hull meets the deck. I can do that after I fix it.

firestar12 · « **Reply #113 on:** April 25, 2009, 17:08:03 »

They are, the blueprints do not lie!!

firestar12 · « **Reply #114 on:** April 25, 2009, 17:14:49 »

Ok, I will do that later. (Not in a modeling mood right now).

firestar12 · « **Reply #115 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:19:13 »

Ok, I will be posting an image in a second with a ^*better* hull texture.
EDIT: Here it is guys. I will also start to put hull plates and rivets on the texture soon I hope.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #116 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:24:17 »

Hopefully you can keep the texture limit in mind $:-\$

And poly limit

(Rivets are usually too much)

Or, you could make like Jason and release an initial version with the basics complete. then work on details as time goes on....

firestar12 · « **Reply #117 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:31:50 »

Tssk tssk...now, now. Lets not go starting fights Diamant. I fixed that weird bit at the bow if you look here.
@ Gigantic. Yes, I do look at Jason as a 'figure to follow' for lack of a better word. I am about to attempt to make hull plates. Wish me luck! (As a texture of course)
If anyone could find me some pictures to get a good idea about how large they were, that would be of grea help.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #118 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:46:27 »

Well done Firestar

firestar12 · « **Reply #119 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:48:25 »

Thanks Mike. I know ships have that curved up look, I will give that texture that sometime soon.

RMS Gigantic · « **Reply #120 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:54:05 »

Oh, you meant making the plates and rivets as part of the texture?

phew!

Anyway, I know that plate and riveting patterns usually repeat, so it should not be a problem there.

J3nsen · « **Reply #121 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:55:36 »

This looking good Firestar, just getting better and better!

firestar12 · « **Reply #122 on:** April 26, 2009, 22:58:01 »

Also, I decided to not work on the texture right now. More modeling needs to be done!

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #123 on:** April 27, 2009, 12:41:40 »

FS

Another related web site here, don't know if you have seen it?

http://www.ssunitedstatesconservancy.org/SSUS/Home.html

Mike

firestar12 · « **Reply #124 on:** April 27, 2009, 22:22:25 »

Yes, I have seen it. I check it very often.

EDIT: I am still working on fixing those 'deck meets hull' problems. I am almost done with thm. Just a few more things to clean up!
Yet another edit: I fixed those problems! It was easy. All I had to do was put a crease (Not what you guys are thinking) A 3d modeling crease into the deck so it would fit right into the hull.

Poll

Who would like to see her in ShipSim?
