GeneralMatt's Creation Thread

I love sailing ships too....

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Ah yes... I'd love to see more sailing ships

 

[GeneralMatt]

Yes, but they are a fair amount harder to actually get to animate right. Someday I want to do a ship like the HMS Victory, or one like the ones in Queen Lizzie's days, the War Galleons..

 

[GeneralMatt]

I was/am not really happy with the HMS Warspite, so am remodeling her as a ship would be, (Most is still the same, she is just upgraded )
Wolfie gave me his thoughts (This time I actually asked! ) but I want you all to give me your opinions also.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

What is different about this exactly? (Can't look right now.)

 

[GeneralMatt]

Well..

1. The guns are a tad larger
2. The guns are not smoothed in a awful rounded shape
3. The one deck tapers properly a the back now
4. The Deck planking is a little less, obvious
5. The Texture on the side of the hull is somewhat different
6. The Guns are a few shades darker to match the of the ship
7. Now that I think of it, I think I uploaded the wrong file..

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Wow... Matt, you're one of those gifted people who we can honestly say that every new unit you do is the best unit you've ever done!

 

[Wolfshanze]

Wow... Matt, you're one of those gifted people who we can honestly say that every new unit you do is the best unit you've ever done!

Unless that "new unit" is the 1st release of the Warspite!

Sorry Matt, but you've always known how I felt about the 1st release! I don't have time to give a close look at it now, but from the pic above it looks like a definate BIG improvement!

I'll look at it more closely after work.

So you gonna do a WWI version too, or just leave it in WWII format?

Just out of curiosity Matt, do you still want that PDF?

Easy upload disabled...



I'll try to get it to you somehow.

That is what you get when you still are learning it all!

I know, there was something with the original that just did not sit right, hopefully this will fix it.

Could you please briefly outline the major differences between the two wars?

I would not mind for sure!
How big is it? You could zip it and attach it to a post..

 

[Wolfshanze]

Concerning the differance between the WWI Warspite and the WWII Warspite...

Could you please briefly outline the major differences between the two wars?

Sure... take a look here... the entire superstructure is differant...

WWI Version:

WWII Version:

 

[GeneralMatt]

That is crazy! The WWI version actually looks much simpler, do you think it would be worth it do do a remodel so it would also be the WWI version?

 

[Wolfshanze]

Sure, why not?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

The WWI version looks more like what I'd expect the WII version to look like and vise versa.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

So which is the present version you have already done? The WW2 version? And you're doing a WW1 version? Or the reverse?

 

[GeneralMatt]

I worked of '39 blueprints, so the WWII version, and I am considering just remodeling the superstructure so that it would be the WWI version.

You have a point there DP II, it does..

Wolfshanze: Because I would rather be working on a County class CA?

Wolfshanze: Because I would rather be working on a County class CA?

That sounds awful British...

 

[GeneralMatt]

As British as this?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

What is that? The Lusitania?

 

[RPG]

Very nice...

Taking a break from warships, eh?
