Henri IV
Hi, all!
After a disappointing affair with Blender, which is very attractive but wanting in other respects, I decided to come back to good old AC3D, which has yet no equivalent. Here is my latest WIP: the French 2nd class battleship "Henri IV", lauched in 1899. I will have to finish it, as it is my first commission! |

Re: Henri IV
I hear you, and agree 100%. Only moving to Solid Edge ST5 has given me the same features, but even it can match the texture editor.

Re: Henri IV
Yeah, I've been trying blender, but I'm having too much trouble with it. I will consider it for animation work, but the objects I'll model in AC3D.

Re: Henri IV
Love the water - how did you do that?

Re: Henri IV
Finished ! After my unfortunate love affair with Blender and not a few technical problems ( "Henri IV" was a rather weird ship, even for a French one, and therefore tricky to deal with ) I had come to consider this as an unlucky model, but eventually it turned out all right ( I hope ). I had thought I would never see the end of it!
As it stands, the model has about 45,000 vertices. @Andy : Thank you for your remark about water. The result of a simple tutorial about "Water in POV-Ray" by a gentleman from Germany. If you are interested, I think I could get you the URL or something. Last edited by thierry_st_malo; 17th May 2013 at 12:46 PM. |
