So, I try to make 3D model of Water Bus.
1st step, outside of body almost going.
But Its not same as "Himiko",becuse of copyright.

[mikazuki]

I make some AVI files for check ship model .
But, file size is too large to attach here.
So. I put 2-LINK page of file, here.
but,YAHOO free server is too poor power
to send AVI file. It may be verry slow to open.

Looks like very futuristic. lets us see if you made the interior. What is the Engine of the original? The H² Engine from Honda like in the FCX experimental car?

[mikazuki]

Hello !

I'm sorry that I cannot find the spec about Engine.
I think, it was nomal Engine same as other ship.

I sometime report my Project progress, here .
Please look it and comment me.

[mikazuki]

Hello !

I add some windows and some chairs inside.
I will add some small windows and many objects inside, in next step.

Attention ,it's very heavy, and very -- very slow to open.

Wow, this is looking great! Would be a great ship for missions in the end of the port of Rotterdam.

[mikazuki]

Thanks !!

I want to supply my 3-D model for SS 2008 subscription service.
But, my modelling skill is under training now, in this project.
IN happy case, you may play "HIMIKO" in Rotterdam harbour, 1 year after.

Hello !

I add some roof windows and some desk(brige) inside.
Some texture was downloaded from this foram. (Thanks)

Great work!!! I hope VStep take it in the game. I like the cockpit. Ok I think it will be funny to ride with this.

[mikazuki]

Thanks !!

Yes,I hope so, too.
If I reach the skill level of VSTEP Ship Development Guideline,
it may be come true, in SS subscription service.

Hello.

I update my ship 3D model.

< Update point.>

  1.Glass wall added between bridge and cabin.
    (passengers can see almost bridge inside.)

  2.Tables and chairs added in back side area.
    ("Himiko" has 2 type seat, bench type and table set.)

  3.Some small windows and objects etc added.

* File format changed to MPEG-4.
  (It's smaller than AVI file.)

Please set play speed to slow.


** Something bad in roof line inside. It's waved, big wave (4m)  may damage the roof. 
(Or, only my mistake. haha)

[mikazuki]

Hello.

I update my ship 3D model, a little.

< Update point.>

  1.Bad roof line and frames of roof windows changed better a little.
    (My skill is too poor to change it better.)

  2.Some flowers and glass pod add on the table.
    (Why flower , only because I want it.)

  3.Doors inside can open and close, if needed.

  4.I set camera move speed to slow.
    (So, file size is too large.)

* File format is MPEG-4.
  (It's smaller than AVI file. But, Yahoo server is very slow.)

** Something bad in many wall inside surfase, it's very noisy.
(It may be BUG of this 3D software, or my setting miss.)

How many polygons do you have in the water bus? Looks very smoothy

[mikazuki]

Hello.

I use mainly Bezier based surface, in "Shade" 3D software.
It looks smart in modeling work. But, many BUGs in it.
I can use Polygon Mesh, and shall change it to Polygons, at last.

At sample, Ship main body change to about 20,000 polygons.
It's under 100,000 polygons, and may be use in SS 2008 system.
Please see VSTEP Guidelines "PROCEDURE TO ADD NEW VESSELS TO SHIP SIMULATOR 2008"

"Shade" HP

Sample main body is converted to Google SketchUp 6 file.
So, I attach that SketchUp 6 window.

  The ideas for this ship are terrible no offense DO NOT PUT IT IN THE GAME

Hi Roebot 65

Could you go a little more into details about your criticism? Unfounded negative comments aren't welcome whether they are offensive or not.

groennegaard

[mikazuki]

Hello Roebot 65.
Thanks very much, groennegaard.

He may feel that, giantic crocodile or monster swimming in the river.
Or, new submarine search for enemy, and attack ship in sea fight of War.

I will look for next ship (which feel peaceful and gentle shape), later.

NO OFFENCE?

Youve got the guts to post this and then say NO OFFENCE?


Next time you post something like this, have a little bit more RESPECT!

@mikazuki

Don't lissent to this retard, your ship is great!

I hope your efford will be rewarded.

[joeyboy52]

yea Roebot you cant just come on and belittle some ones hard work, If you must do it, Atleast tell him why its  "a terrible idea" and anyway i don't see you making anything?   

btw mikazuki, I think it looks great, and i hope it does get in 

[Shipaddict]

We all have different opinions

[mikazuki]

Thanks Sam.
Thanks joeyboy52.

Thanks very much for your comment.
So, I feel better to make this ship Project.
I keep on this Project progress, for my 1st training.
My 1st model is allmost something a lot of failure.
I made many models before, and allways 1st model is Worst.
But, 2nd/3rd ship model may be better than it.
So, I look for next ship, early time.


Hello Shipaddict.

Indeed, many opinions of ship, there.
I will accept negative opinions, and shall consider them.
Sometimes, it suggest hiden big problems, that overlooked.
And may be chance of progress, may change it better greatly.
