nice Shane, can't wait to see some interior updates

Well then, Anfinn, your wish has come true!

Minime · « **Reply #77 on:** July 31, 2009, 01:41:37 »

it'd getting along nicely, great job

firestar12 · « **Reply #78 on:** July 31, 2009, 17:17:32 »

Thanks Anfinn. I was working on her today when nothing on my PC responded so I forced a shutdown and lost some of my work. I had gotten done
-Some more texturing
-More bridge stuff

So expect a later update than usual, sorry guys!

EDIT: Here is some more hull work, it is paying off! And I can't show you the bridge, it is a surprise!

Good one!

Minime · « **Reply #80 on:** July 31, 2009, 18:14:29 »

very nice, can't wait to see it in SS sometime, would probably be a very nice vessel to sail with.

Looks great Shane!

firestar12 · « **Reply #82 on:** July 31, 2009, 19:00:46 »

Big update today, guys!
Thanks SA!
Thanks Anfinn!
Thanks WM!
Thanks Jack!

Today, the first of many are added...

Minime · « **Reply #83 on:** July 31, 2009, 20:40:47 »

I like it, very nice

Lookin' Great Shane. Keep it up!

Watching the progress

Jack.

firestar12 · « **Reply #85 on:** August 01, 2009, 02:04:32 »

Hehe, thanks! I can't wait for WM's opinion on this!

EDIT: I have found out that if this gets in shipsim, that there will be an application for me to place these things, so for now I need to leave this blank. I would say that this vessel is 75% done. Soon I can email or call VSTEP and discuss things with them.

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #86 on:** August 01, 2009, 12:49:10 »

Hi Shane.

Yes, Leave the equipment side of things blank. If the vessel does get into the game, V-STEP themselves will add in their own equipment, which is the standard stuff that you see now (e.g. Throttle, Steering, Bow Thrusters). Also, things such as Radar, GPS (Map) etc.

So, it's worth your while putting together "Areas" to put all this stuff, but, don't actually bother putting in all the equipment, unless you somehow "Group" it (Like Sketchup) so you can remove, if you decide to send off your model. Or, you could even leave it there, and let them know, that that is the place where the equipment you suggest should be placed.

OR, you could have two files (When you've finished), fill one with all the equipment, one without. So then, you have one for rendering/display purposes.

Just my suggestion there.
Jack.

firestar12 · « **Reply #87 on:** August 01, 2009, 17:38:48 »

Well...technically I have over 10 files. In Blender, and other programs there are things called layers that have different parts of your model. You can only view one layer at once (unless you choose to see more) and all my layers are populated with backups. Of course, the version I give VSTEP will only have one layer, otherwise you guys would be seeing all sorts of junk all over the place!

Thanks Jack for the advice. I am about to finish the hull (Except I need to add props and rudder and cages around them) now the hull is very open at the seams, I am going to close that up though. I think if I work really hard, I can finish the model this week and get started on lightmaps, and collision models.

Minime · « **Reply #88 on:** August 01, 2009, 17:46:43 »

lol what props and rudders?

collision models.

Collision Models...? I thought that was all done at V-STEP?

You need special software for that too, don't you?

Jack.

firestar12 · « **Reply #90 on:** August 01, 2009, 18:21:56 »

Nope, the guide clearly states for us to do the collision models. And no, it does not need special software. You could to one in Sketchup.

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #91 on:** August 01, 2009, 18:35:18 »

How would a collision model be represented in Sketchup...? As in, where would it go? How is it indicated?

Jack.

firestar12 · « **Reply #92 on:** August 01, 2009, 18:46:37 »

Sorry, I don't get what you mean?

IRI5HJ4CK · « **Reply #93 on:** August 01, 2009, 18:49:57 »

Maybe I should re-phrase what I said. I mean as in, How is a Collision Model represented in a model, as in, How would you go about making/Drawing one out. Also, How do you "Activate" this Collision Model, is that part done by V-STEP...?

Jack.

The collision model is like a model that fits around the vessel like a fishing net, it represents the outside of the model, but is less detailed, VSTEP activates it though.
EDIT: Slowly but surely!

Minime · « **Reply #95 on:** August 02, 2009, 03:51:16 »

Lookin' good Shane, not that slowely either

Edit: Apparently mr. Shane is so busy that he wants me to post this update

Wave Music · « **Reply #96 on:** August 02, 2009, 17:53:22 »

This is getting better & better!

firestar12 · « **Reply #97 on:** August 02, 2009, 22:53:11 »

Thank you!

UPDATE: What do you guys think looks better, left or right?

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #98 on:** August 02, 2009, 23:21:05 »

Firestar,

Is this ship based off a real ship, or is it fictional?

I really like that bridge! I hope you change the diamond plating though, looks kinda silly to me.

The starboard side railing looks better, looks more realistic.
