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

Thanks guys I've been on that idea, but I have none available

Here is an hi-res render (1920x960) of the boat at current stage in the building process for you to inspect. On this stage I've also finished the masts and I've placed the floatplanes where they ought to be. No ramp there yet though, I'm working on it at this moment Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18542]

New update. I made the Arado floatplane tonight. Not yet made the ramp for it, so I'll just show a standalone render of the plane [attachmentid=18525]

No, but I plan to add a sun later on (have done it but it is inactive)

Both the camera and ground is set to pure white, while the model is given a touch of grey (222,222,222)

Sure, but they are nothing more than basic settings: Global Color: white 100% 100% Sampling set to 40

Cool render! love the decaling! Great job Xtaz Stian

Good question, I have no clue... lol Good idea. It would be cool to recreate her last moment, before she went down, but I think its to difficult to do though

Thanks guys Its time for an new update. Have made a few more lifeboats and decks on the aft. still working on the mast. Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18451] [attachmentid=18452] [attachmentid=18453] [attachmentid=18454]

Hi Eric I'm glad to see that you have picked up the project again Don't you dare leave it unfinished again, capish? Nice work so far Stian

My computer displays the ship at 3.1 FPS fully assembled in the choreography with full subdivision (not that bad actually considering 131K patches). Somehow the decrease subdivision doesn't work in the chor?..., but a proxy would do it I think. The projectfile is approximately 19MB at this point (embedded)

Thanks Sounds interesting David, keep me posted Havent had to much time to work on the bismarck these last days, but some I do. Have added more stuff on the aft (a few levels, searchlights and some handrails here and there) next up is a few more lifeboats and brackets Best regards Stian *edit* Oh, and I just counted the patches..... 131K [attachmentid=18243] [attachmentid=18244] [attachmentid=18245] [attachmentid=18246]

Thank you all for your comments I agree to that. I also had some problems avoiding the stretching on the head decal (you can spot one ugliness between his eyes) Regards Stian

Cool guns:) Is the futuristic ones your design?

Hi all First off I want to thank you for the votes that was given to my image on the contest. Im very proud of winning the contest. This image started of as an personal project/challenge with no goal. After I had done the head If figured; why not try to make this an entry (I don't regret that now..lol). I've also posted this image on CGTalk I do consider donating this project to the Extra DVD Any comments or crits is highly appreciated Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18186] and here is a shaded wireframe:) [attachmentid=18187]

I have no words for how much I appreciate your comments and interest Today I manage to build a few more small decks and a few rangefinders and some other stuff on the aft. Best regards Stian [attachmentid=18127] [attachmentid=18128] [attachmentid=18129] [attachmentid=18130] also added an shaded/wire of some of the lifeboats and hangars, not very interesting though [attachmentid=18131]

Very nice Tardis I would have added some bevels on the roof to avoid the hard egdes Stian
