Um.. not there yet...

I should really add some...

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:43:56 »

Very good, TFM... (I'd have said that the anchors were white and well hidden...

)

I am very impressed with your modelling. I hope the 'other' project under way matches the quality of this one when it's finished. Then it's a SIMPLE job to 'persuade' vstep to do the right thing.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #27 on:** April 08, 2011, 12:51:01 »

Thanks

How does this hole look - still have a "crease", but it isn't too bad

*Creases are why I didn't make the anchor hole - if I cut into the curved bow section, it screws up the whole mesh for some unknown (to me) reason.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #28 on:** April 08, 2011, 23:08:05 »

OK I improved it slightly, but I still have the visible "crease lines" in the hull now

does anyone know how you get rid of them?

have you soften the edges?
(soft edges tool)

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #30 on:** April 09, 2011, 16:14:31 »

I have... All the edges are hidden

I have tried manouvering the hidden lines around, everything...

They only show though when the light is from a certain position...

Otherwise she is looking good...

To be honest.. That yellow stripe on the funnel doesn't fit that well ... :S

You could maybe use the light blue stripe that is also on the hull and a different colour for the writing
Maybe white would be nice

Captain Best · « **Reply #33 on:** April 09, 2011, 16:54:52 »

Yeah, I was thinking the same

Sounds brilliant

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #34 on:** April 09, 2011, 16:58:56 »

I can try that

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #35 on:** April 09, 2011, 17:36:21 »

OK updated design:

The Ferry King · « **Reply #36 on:** April 09, 2011, 17:38:11 »

That looks amazing!

See, this one looks allot better and it uses the same colours you used before!
YOu didnt even need a different colour paint bucket!

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #37 on:** April 09, 2011, 18:03:54 »

Glad you like it

hopefully someone from VSTEP could give there opinion on whether or not they like it...

The Ferry King · « **Reply #38 on:** April 09, 2011, 18:09:45 »

I'm pretty sure they will like it

SSE still doesnt have a Dover-Calais suitable ferry and before the CCC there was still this topic that talked about people who make quality models may have a chance to get their ship in SS.
But most modellers send weird and not quality worth models.. But your model is worth it to go in SSE and is a ship type that isnt in SSE yet (A Dover-Calais Ferry)
I am not the only person who believes that this model will come in SSE, A lot of other ferry lovers and TFMlovers would also want to see this ship in SSE..

Good luck TFM!

(TFK is proud of TFM)

I was refering to the logo

But thanks though

Oh

We'll See, But the logo looks quite good

But who knows, Vstep might create their own CF logo that you could add to your funnel..

But i like the design of the funnel now

I agree with TFK... I realise that vstep is very challenged in the concept of 'commercial viability', but I don't think even they can fail to recognise the potential here. Or maybe they can, I'm sure a goderator will be along soon to warn me for commenting on the failure of vstep to maximise its commercial potential soon enough.

The Ferry King · « **Reply #42 on:** April 09, 2011, 18:32:33 »

A goderator?

Vstep is very good at models but looking at the CCC models not even finished i think it would be a hard work to put ships into SSE
Some things i know that vstpe do to ship is

Make it float
Add controls
Make controls work
Add new textures from sketchup to SSE textures (in this case)
Lights
Collisions with land detector
Make object in collisions (make it hard as rock and not transparent)
Add speeds
Check behaviour in waves

And many other things....

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #43 on:** April 10, 2011, 11:12:46 »

Believable dynamics and 100% accurate dynamics aren't exactly the same thing.

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #44 on:** April 14, 2011, 12:05:38 »

OK guys...

she is 100,000 polys over...

So she is on ANOTHER diet

I am thinking about redoing the hull, see if I can lose some polys from there...

Stuart2007 · « **Reply #45 on:** April 14, 2011, 13:18:54 »

What's the parrot done to you, TFM?

EDIT: How many polys in Pride of Bilbao??? (not that I'm remotely interested of course...

)

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #46 on:** April 14, 2011, 13:22:42 »

I don't know yet... $:-\$

hehe too many parrotds and the model can't get in...

I'm sure you will once ITS FINISHED....

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #48 on:** April 14, 2011, 20:39:58 »

OK Numerous changes have happened to day, mostly little small things that you won't notice, biggest change is the new bow and hull, hopefully its slightly more poly-efficent now...

The Ferry King · « **Reply #49 on:** April 14, 2011, 21:16:31 »

looks exactly the same

Good work TFM!
THe bottom hull part looks different but
I hope the poly count is lower this time
