Thanks for that link a lot of ideas in it!
What program you recommend?
Hehehe looks like someone has done their homework
, I would personally recommend 3dmax, and if its good enough VSTEP might even add it into either Ship Simulator 2008 or the new Ship Simulator 2009 which is coming out sometime in 2009 obviously
. See how you go, take your time and player around who knows if you are keen enough you may end up with a masterpiece
