Rope!!

Pirate ships need lots and lots and lots of rope. So I went ahead and made this tileable rope texture. Both of the rope renders are in Max.

Hey, it's a ship!

Let me blow the dust off of this blog with an update of the ship. I've been focusing on the major shapes of the ship and am moving onto the details.

Ship Gun

WIP shots of the gun that's going be used on the ship

Ship frame

I've started to build the frame of the ship. Trying to get the base structure down before moving onto props. I will be moving onto the sides of the ship from here.

Reference

This is a small sample of reference I have gathered so far. I'm going for a triple-masted, wooden ship with around 24-30 cannons with a crew of about 100-120.
