Hey everyone,

I was asked a few times about the attempt to make the Perseus, that I took a while ago. And asked if I was going to continue. Unfortunatly that first attempt was not very good. So I started it again, from scratch. It's not a 100% accurate copy since I only found photo's and no plans (yet), but generally realistic enough to bare the same name allready, I reckon... Lotsa work still to be done, but it's a start.

More to follow soon, I hope.

Fred.

Is that still in sketchup? Looks amazing!

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #2 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:56:46 »

Thanks very much!

Yeah, sketchup model, but a carrara render though.

You should go work for google and show people what sketchup can do. It is almost like the ship version of that sketchup helicopter that everyone has seen.

You are too that good.

Just think all I can make is a stupid box, although I do like rendering random things.

So I started it again, from scratch.

And Fred, don't say that you started that model 20 min before creating this topic.

That is great Fred really good!

Minime · « **Reply #12 on:** August 04, 2009, 13:53:49 »

wow I love it, looks so great and very nice choice of vessel, I've tried a few times before but never got that far.

Great stuff Fred, nice to see you're back on track with it....

Keep it up!

Jack.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2009, 05:19:32 »

Thanks very much everyone, that's ever so kind!!

And nope WM,... what you see on that render is about 6 hours work..

And about 4 hours more, till this new render.. ~10 hours in it so far, if you count the trial and error bits.

Most of the last couple of hours was the 'cleaning up inside' for what I did so far. Tedious..

TNeves · « **Reply #15 on:** August 07, 2009, 15:59:37 »

It's excellent Fred! All the details are there!

re-x_3dit · « **Reply #16 on:** August 07, 2009, 16:04:32 »

My previous boss fixes cars with sketchup.
He has detailed engine 3d's and looks at that and at the car. compares and fixes

I am averagely good but boatguy uptop rocks

RYAN123 · « **Reply #17 on:** August 07, 2009, 18:50:04 »

will it be in ship sim 2008 or 2010

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #18 on:** August 08, 2009, 00:20:34 »

Thanks very much, guys!!!

Ryan123, no idea.. I do tend to follow the Vstep guidelines when I model, but there is of course much more to it than just a model itself. It depends very much upon my finished product, and if Vstep even wants this vessel in the game at all, to begin with.

I model purely for fun, and obviously to gain more experience. Anything more than that would be a big bonus, time will tell.

Fred.

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #19 on:** August 08, 2009, 04:11:59 »

Here's a few new WIP shots.. And yeah, I know there's a few railing struts missing.. don't worry..

The Wheelhouse has had a makeover, and the liferafts were added.

To be continued..

Agent|Austin · « **Reply #20 on:** August 08, 2009, 04:29:53 »

Brilliant Detail!

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2009, 04:38:55 »

Thanks very much, Austin!!

v.h94 · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2009, 11:57:45 »

Great ship Fred i hope it gets to the game it's an vecile that is missing

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #23 on:** August 08, 2009, 15:44:30 »

Thank your very much, I appreciate that!!

Here's a few more renders.. quick (less quality) ones this time, I am in a hurry.

Some new stuff on her, but lots still to do.

Minime · « **Reply #24 on:** August 08, 2009, 16:03:02 »

very nice Fred, she's coming along very nicely. I wish it somehow could be added to the sim, I'd love to sail it.
