Orthanc's Creation Thread

:) Thanks everyone, I'm really enjoying making this thing, reminds me of why I do all this stoof. Anywho, got the masts and yards up, just wanted some input on how they are size-wise before I put in the sails and rigging:
 
:lol: I just looked at this thing head on, you're right, the masts are far to tall (and so the yards, proportioned with the masts, too wide). El fixo.
 
This was exactly why I asked before-hand, sails involve calculating 16 different points in 3D space, and have to conform to the yards, so changing the yards is infinitely easier before the sails are on. Anywho, basically redid the masts, my entire concept of sail-to-boat ratios was so mixed up, got it back though! I think, well, see for yourself:
 
Looking good, really. Can't wait to fire broadsides with this baby. Oh, with much smoke, please. ;)
 
Thanks!

Yes Ares de Borg, there shall be much explody fun with the attacks.:D

Well she's ready for sea trails (animating). Drydock's flooded (not so dry now eh?), sails unfurled:
 
It's fore-sheet free, with her head to the sea,
and the swing of the unbought brine --

Nice looking little boat ya got there...great work on all that rigging...
 
Hey hey, I love your age of sail ships and I'm happy to see a new one! But is it gonna be civ3 scale or like on the preview? Civ3 scale would be better of course ;)
 
Permission to come aboard, sir?
 
Animations will be made in an appropriate Civ3 scale (somewhat bigger than the Man-O-War I'm thinking), preview-scale is always arbitrary, based solely on the entire unit fitting within the 256x256 sized image. Actual frame size probably will be under 200x200, and the unit never fills all of that.
 
I just sinked that ship with mine (the one I shown before) 10 mins ago :D
How?:confused: well he was kidna damaged when I came acros him :mischief:
Your doing great job Im not a fan of these big ships but Ill definitely have it:goodjob:
 
Warming up the guns:


Individual firing tests (AttackB) start soon.:D

Because of the details on the hull, and the amount of explosions, rending time for the attacks is quite lengthy, but I hope to have this done by Monday (would be sooner, but I have family visitng next two days).
