There will be some new updates comming soon along with a change. All renders will now be in full, [img ]"Source"[/img ]) format to allow esier viewing. Also a Virtual Sailor Beta Version may be avalible soon.

I've been working on a new vessel that will hit this forum soon.

llamalord · « **Reply #76 on:** August 25, 2008, 05:45:11 »

There Will Be All New Full Screen Renders In A Few Hours Time, So stay posted.

Also to answer your question about Logos, I'd rather not have a logo on this ship because it is after all a partially fictional ship. Almost none of V-STEP's fictional ships have Logos. So I just thought it was fitting. $:-\$

Captain Best · « **Reply #77 on:** August 25, 2008, 20:21:29 »

Yea. Maybe you could hide a little logo in the ship. maybe your profile picture in the bridge exempel

But i realy hope it will come into Shipsim

You see the hidden things like that all the time in VS. I've seen a piece of toilet paper that says "Here you are Lari"

Excellent work, I like it a lot!!

Well, that looks great.

But I have one comment.

The ship is much to short, wich makes it look unrealistic.
Try to find some information about real dredgers and look at their sizes.

Beceaus you keep saying, a dredger is allready in development, I think a more realistic model is needed.

Thank you Sam for saying exactly what I said a few pages back, glad it's not just me that thinks it is too short.

llamalord · « **Reply #86 on:** August 27, 2008, 19:15:12 »

I'm really getting annoyed with that statement.

I have done weeks of research before I even made this hull. This Dredger is close to a real dredger that works around Cape Cod MA. The kind of dredgers you are thinking of are used in large comercial shipping ports like Rotterdam. The size of a dredger is proportional to the amount of sand and water it needs to carry. In smaller canals and rivers like around Cape Cod ships don't need any more than about 10 feet max to move around. Also I agree that in those renders the Iron Flounder does look a little bit short but that is all about perspective. Below there will be three images.
1: Large Dredger
2: Small Dredger
3: A non-Perspectively influanced render of the Iron Flounder

Quaysider · « **Reply #87 on:** August 27, 2008, 19:28:39 »

I don't want to upset you, you are doing something I never could and it is impressive (and I assume time consuming). However, you have chosen to design the vessel with a very disproportional 'earning space' compared to the 'living space', and for that reason alone I would expect it wouldn't get into the game. Double the length of the 'earning space' and it would look better.

As an aside, the second photo "Cardium II" is a fishing vessel

I guess I just saw the hoses and the pipe and the storage tank and the suction arm and the... and I guess my not so guess was wrong.

I will stand by my model even after your hefty put-down. This is a highly realistic model and I also will stand by that.

Also I just did the math my dredger has 2.5 feet less of living space in length than a proportioned larger dredger has. That's close to ¹/₅ of the vessels length.

Captain Best · « **Reply #89 on:** August 27, 2008, 20:31:25 »

Very nice Model Llamalord.

Why be negative.

Its nice. and i dont see any problems with it.

And he's not finish Yet.

So maybe he could have changed the lenght without you noticed that.

Its not finish.

So i dont see that you are negative.

But i love the model

Best Regards

Captain Best

Thanks for your kind words Best,

I know only need about five more people to say something like that to make up for it.

That kind of insult can really hurt a man.

Master Captain · « **Reply #91 on:** August 27, 2008, 22:42:30 »

wow, looks awesome llamalord. Nice work.

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #92 on:** August 27, 2008, 22:50:30 »

Ahoy Llamalord,
Those who can build better models have the right to speak. But I haven't seen any work (except for a few lightpatches and re-paints of just 1 vessel, the P6) that even can compare with your work in the slightest way. Keep up the good work, and don't let it spoil by some people who can only give comments.
Best regards
Aad

llamalord · « **Reply #93 on:** August 27, 2008, 22:57:10 »

That is the best statement I heard all week, Thanks.

Hi Supreme Emperor of the camel-like beasts.

Can I say "looks pretty good to me"?

Is the head-count enough now? (I have a block-vote of 50,000).

I note that often when people say "it's wrong", those people have no facts to back up what they're saying. Whether its "The PoR turns wrong", or "Latitude turns too fast" or "Latitude turns too slow", it often seems to be based on.... well, nothing at all.

If either of the adverse commentators above have some data to back up their claims of wrongness, let them speak now or forever hold their (cod) piece.

Aad The Pirate · « **Reply #95 on:** August 27, 2008, 23:11:23 »

You're welcome.
~~BTW, why don't you use the 'transparant' avatar? Or is it only on my screen that it has a greyish/blueish background?~~
Regards
Aad
And after posting that I realized that my avatar, which is really transparant, shows the same background. Must be the forumprefs

weird your's and mine are Transparent on my screen. $:-\$

That is so good llamalord, I love it, everything is perfect with it, including the lenght, you did a great job there.

llamalord · « **Reply #99 on:** August 28, 2008, 21:24:53 »

I just thought it was time for...

More Renders!

This time all the work is on the dredging arms. They're not quite finished, mainly around the point where they connect to the boat. Also I've started to do something different with the renders them selves. See if you can tell me what.
