They are really cool!

Great looking stadium Jin

Thank you for your comments I have not yet rigged it so when I do, Ill get those guns in different positions. The water is actually the ocean material on the A:M cd, I believe Sutton made it? This render was supposed to use IBL, but I got some artifacts (have had it before, when I try to render the image I get a very blue tint all over, usually I've fixed that by simply restart A:M, but in this case it did not work. So this is an AO with Global Color Hopefully I'll make some dirtmaps, but at the moment I don't have the time. Unfortunately I've forgotten the rendertimes I could try to do a quick pose for the guns (since its not yet rigged) and do a render, but I dont understand what kind of view you want it in... Thanks again Best regards Stian

Thank you all for your comments so far I've done a few environment test. This is colorful renders. perhaps it is Bismarcks last dawn? planing on doing some dark renders later. Hope you like these ones. Best regards Stian [attachmentid=19289] [attachmentid=19290] [attachmentid=19291]

I've just consolidated the project to be sent to the Extra DVD. I did resize some of the textures so that the project didn't get so very big. From being over 80MB its now scaled down and zipped up to 7MB Since I used IBL on this project and the HDRI images was taken from here: HDRI images, is it legal to include them in the consolidated file?

Great animation!

Thanks Here is an new update. I've placed all the materials to their designated groups. What I have to do now is to tweak the materials, add some dirtmaps and hopefully manage to create an environment for the boat Best regards Stian [attachmentid=19203] [attachmentid=19204] [attachmentid=19205] [attachmentid=19206]

Have you tried to creat a new model, copy the mesh from the old one and paste it into the new model window? Nice looking toolbox

Thank you guys I totally agree with that. Havent spent to much time on the rendering settings, just made a setup to show of the boat (progress renders). hopefully I'll be able to make a nice render at the end, with ocean (eventhough environments is something I'm really weak on). Here is a quick texturing of the arado plane: [attachmentid=19155]

Ha all. I've finally started on the texturing. I'm still in a very early stage on the texturing part, but I have managed to do a few test already. Let me know what you think Best regards Stian [attachmentid=19144] [attachmentid=19145] [attachmentid=19146] [attachmentid=19147]

He is looking great!

Man, I've had totally forgotten about that part! huff... Anyway, the modelling part of this project is done!!! update attached Best regards Stian [attachmentid=19068] [attachmentid=19069] [attachmentid=19070] [attachmentid=19071]

HEHEHE! Thanks Nancy for sharing this one.. Really funny!

Thank you Nancy, Rob and Mike. It means a lot to me that you like the model The modelling part of this project is soon finished. Then there is the texturing..... Best regards Stian

Thanks Jeff Here is the Hi-Res image I promised. Its rendered at 3072x1536. Feel free to inspect it Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18801]

Yet another update Have done some of the details on the main deck (but more to come). It's hard to see the details in these low res renders, so I'm going to post a high res tomorrow Best regards Stian sidenote: patchcount at 171K [attachmentid=18788] [attachmentid=18789] [attachmentid=18790] [attachmentid=18791]

The patch count is now at approximately 140K, and the renders takes from 10 to 30min with the AO set to 40 (res is 960x480) Here is my main resources: The line drawings that I use Technical layout (great information) And here is the todays update... not a very big one but... have made the handrail on the main deck (and some other stuff) Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18741] [attachmentid=18742] [attachmentid=18743] [attachmentid=18744]

Thank you guys I don't know what to reply to your heartwarming and encouraging comments Thanks Best ragards Stian *edit* I did upload an update in this post, but I removed it again. I spotted some errors in it, I'll upload it later to day after the rerender

Fantastic model Kevin. Great lightning as well Stian

Nice model, and a great render Jeff. I like how you have achieved the specular in the web on his suit Stian

Hi all:) Here is a new update. Have been working on the hull, and its almost finished (some tweaking left). Next to do is the main deck Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18674] [attachmentid=18675] [attachmentid=18676] [attachmentid=18677]

Awesome, just awesome Eric!! This is certainly the best car I've seen been made in A:M so far, no doubt. Nice details on the interior.

Nice progress guys Thumbs up Brilliant Rodger! Thanks for the smart trick

Thanks man. The lines are simple geometry. Here is the wires of the planes: [attachmentid=18597]

Do you refer to the hull and the main deck? If thats the case, I have not done anything to it yet (its still a proxy). The modelling of the hull or the main deck is up next on my schedule
