Default USS Saugus

USS Saugus (1863, in the foreground) and USS Monitor (1862) modelled with AC3D and seen side by side in Deep Exploration. It is amazing to see how much the "monitor" type of ship had evolved within hardly one year.

Great work. I always like seeing your results. Someday I will ask permission to collect all the images and put them in a VRML art museum. Mr. Steve; deleted yours untill I get the building done, sos' I'll have to get yours too then, if it is ok.

Thanks.
In actual fact, I am engaged in building a VRML/X3D "museum" that will be available for download (for free, of course!) from my site. The first version should be available within a few days.

I am interested in your photograph, MrSteve.
The M55 is one of a class of "small" monitors that were built around 1915 to re-use the 9.2 inch guns of old armoured cruisers for bombardments of the Belgian coast. I did not know that one of them had been preserved.
So, if you could get a few photographs and let me have them, I would be very grateful and model the ship.
Best regards,
Thierry

Hi, there!
It's my first attempt at producing a VRML file that contains my ironclads of the US Civil War. You can find it in the "Download" section of my site www.tvi-sarl.com. Don't forget that this is a bi-lingual site! All you need is a VRML plug-in for your Internet browser; I would recommend Octaga Player from www.octaga.com (although you have to pay a small fee if you don't want to be annoyed by "teasers") or Cortona VRML from www.parallelgraphics.com (that one is free, but the renderer could be a little better, I think). Or anything else, after all; unfortunately, this is unpaid for advertisement.
As you will be able to see the models from close, and even "from inside", please don't laugh at me and don't forget that they are voluntarily VERY simplified (modelling in detail anything more complex than a pedal boat would take a lifetime). Also, if you wish to re-distribute my models, which you may do, please mention my name and my site's URL.
Enjoy!
Thierry
