new project i'll be working on in spare time.... we'll see where it goes...



started on base hull.... still needs lots of tweaks...

[rusteberg]

i had most of the ribbing modeled out, and then silo crashed unexpectedly
so i started on some details

side hatch opening

[rusteberg]

nailed the wood trim in place

[macray]

wow. meticulously detailed... but you need to look out that the nails are straight, when hammered in.

[rusteberg]

thanks macray, i'm using the blunt bottom of coffee mug to hammer with....
some more detail. will model out a flat portion of hull planking, then render for displacement and texture.

Looks cool. Please, you must include "Butterbean" in the line-up.

[RobMitchell]

Looking great! Should be a fun WIP to watch the progress on.

[rusteberg]

thanks guys. hehe, butterbean......
i started over on the hull of the ship several times already. i think it's good enough to start working off of. the pink lines were for reference when i was cutting away at mesh for future openings.



also worked on a few ship deck details when i got tired of working on hull mesh



btw, all of this has been modeled while my computer has been furiously rendering in the background on all cores..... not something i could do with any other render engine...

[rusteberg]

barrel textured.

[rusteberg]

some test renders...



lowered the bump a tad...



about as close as i can get with camera for wood siding map

[rusteberg]

some windows. one object @ 134 polys

[sampson]

looking really good, especially like the "ye olde" windows

[Maximus3D]

Very good modeling, details and texturing rusteberg wow.. especially your attention to details is jawdropping.

Keep up the good work!
