Sorry about not getting any work done, school started, so we have a lot to focus on. Anyway, I will try to post one in a few minutes.
EDIT: I'm going to do some more hull work, will post an update later today.

Xplorer is just a name of one of the "Wave Commander" class vessels built by Alnmaritec.

Here you go some photos of the real thing:

Oh my god! I've just stumbled across this topic, and when i saw Xplorer i thought 'It Couldn't be!' And it Is!

You See, by the looks of it this is the Xplorer owned by FD Marine (www.FDmarine.com)

Which Means I've Driven It!
Small World We Live In!

By The Way, Nice renders!

EDIT: Been looking for some pics just in case, but the only ones i can find at the moment have COPYTRANS Photo free edition plastered across them.

Update.

firestar12 · « **Reply #132 on:** August 30, 2009, 15:59:46 »

Another update, more hull work is complete. I understand that her stern isn't quite like that and there is a hole there where the two catamaran things go down, I will get that in soon. This hull is very VERY complex, so I am happy the work is paying off.

Coming along!

Hoy,
Yes,great work indeed.
Is it a model of a real ship,or is it just a model which you created.

A look alike of a real vessel, though incase it ever gets in ShipSim, I gave it a different name so I don't have to ask any company for copyright.

Minime · « **Reply #136 on:** August 30, 2009, 19:02:25 »

nice to see this going again, keep it up

firestar12 · « **Reply #137 on:** September 14, 2009, 21:22:18 »

I would if I had time, there is a reason I haven't posted updates. Would you rather me just remove the topic or delete my account? Because I might if you keep harassing me for updates.

firestar12 · « **Reply #138 on:** September 18, 2009, 20:24:36 »

Good news. Work should resume tonight, I know I sound like a broken record, things kept coming up in my personal life and didn't have much time for this. However I got Blender working on this Windows 98 Machine, I had to use a 2006 release to do so. Don't worry, that won't affect much of my work.

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #139 on:** September 19, 2009, 11:58:32 »

Great Shane

Minime · « **Reply #140 on:** September 19, 2009, 14:19:16 »

so when can we expect new renders from you?

firestar12 · « **Reply #141 on:** September 19, 2009, 15:08:54 »

As soon as I can get the old resQer off my desktop which could very well be today. BTW Anfinn, get on AIM!

Minime · « **Reply #142 on:** September 19, 2009, 15:24:15 »

AIM? I thought you quit using that, anyway can't download it right now, but I am online on MSN for a while.

firestar12 · « **Reply #143 on:** October 05, 2009, 22:09:19 »

Good news and bad news:

I have finally figured out my error on running Blender on Linux, it was that I didn't use Compiz all this time, a bit of a foolish mistake in my opinion.

The bad news:

My laptop charger is broken.

More good news:

I have a desktop though and will post more updates. I have begun to double the faces in the bridge, that way in the game you won't be able to see through the interiour of the vessel, and I would post a screenshot, but...you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Minime · « **Reply #144 on:** October 05, 2009, 22:11:12 »

ah great to hear work has resumed, looking forward to more updates, both text updates and pics

firestar12 · « **Reply #145 on:** October 05, 2009, 22:22:16 »

Good. I also think I should re do her hull as the current one is a mess. Not a mess in vertices, but there are so many copies I am using to achieve my effects, here is how many hulls I have, plus this doesn't count the 30 other objects on my other 10 layers.

One thing is for certain, I will make sure that the Wave Commander is done, I have faith in this project, and I'm sure you guys do too. Except I worry that she may not be accepted, because she doesn't add a variety. What do you think? Do you think I should do this one or make another vessel that adds more variety to the game?

Minime · « **Reply #146 on:** October 06, 2009, 00:36:49 »

I think she could be used for loads of things, but I'm not gonna make a list now.

McGherkin · « **Reply #147 on:** October 06, 2009, 07:04:18 »

Well I think that Wave Commander is just what Ship Sim needs. And i'd be willing to sign a petition that says as much.

firestar12 · « **Reply #148 on:** October 06, 2009, 17:04:25 »

Ok, well thanks! The instructions to adding the vessel to the game does state that if the forum people like the vessel, it is a big plus for the vessel being in the game.

McGherkin · « **Reply #149 on:** October 06, 2009, 17:44:57 »

You should talk to shipaddict about having her in the magazine!
