    The character I am currently working on ...

    Shure, it is just a quick test where I did put some things together. The software DAZ 3D Studio has a strong engine to create 3D characters and animations. The garment is done in another program called "Marvelous Designer". Finally all comes together in my main 3D software "Cinema 4D". The exchange of data (geometry and motion) between the applications alone is an effort in its own. The little videos just give evidence that things work in principle. It is not a meaningful animation. By the end of the year I might have things in place to produce more appealing results. Still have issues ahead of me in the area of simulating "Hair" and of course convincing animations ...

    This is another study that depicts the garment of an officer. Attention goes to the movement of the coattails. Implies a complicated workflow across cinema 4D, Marvelous Designer and DAZ 3D Studio. The principles are there but still a long way to go ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTUMZjEG4yU (The clip loops ...)

    Hello everybody, my longtime project gained some speed at the beginning of the year. My intention to bring a crew to the model now becomes reality. I had to solve some difficult problems but here the first test-render gives some evidence what might come across during the year ... all just a matter of spare time ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tXKjxNYdI5Q

    Foam on the wave crests now adds some realism. The wake will be next. Then an overhaul of the sails. Still not satisfied with it. And another small (just 24h render time) animation:

    It's a passion, the 3D modelling as well as the age of sail topic. Time does not count. Moreover I am at it since 2008 (!) with long periods of inactivity.

    Hello, my latest activities result in the need of extending the memory of my computer beyond 12Gig. As I am waiting for the memory modules some animations here that I made a long time ago ... Turning the lower yard more than 30° results in a collision with the shrouds. Therefore I had to simulate what I think might have been the solution to the problem. Pushing the first rope of the shrouds a little bit while the yard is moved out a little bit forwards: This animation depicts the lifting of the yards while affected ropes and blocs move synchronously: Finally the animation of a gun and its rigging when being moved out and fired: More soon.

    The last days I tried to find an approach to the mizzen driver... ... and here a strength of the virtual model ... ... that's all for now.

    Hi, the latest addition comes here ... the jib and forestay sails ...

    Maybe in my second life

    Thanks, a source of inspiration. It is a perfect model and a real pleasure to see.

    Well then, something I had been after for a long time, the depiction of a convincing continous ocean surface reaching to the horizon is finally achieved. The surface is fully based on a deformed mesh plane (for the 3D people: use the Houdini Ocean Toolkit) animated with waves, wind and movement against the speed of the ship. I will see what I can do with it although it brings my computer resources to its absolute limits ... Further down find a new animation within this environment. This time with sound. It is not perfect tough. The ocean still has a butterfly effect (has been fixed meanwhile), the horizon has a flaw (also fixed) and the bow wave is a little bit out of control ( still a challenge). Animation:

    Things evolve ... and rendertimes as well ...
  14. Magnus
    Right, had already been complaint about by others as well. Will be corrected ... this is the least problem.
  15. Magnus
    Next animations will show sails ...

    Hello Bava, Points: 4.253.274 (10.491.162)* Polygons: 4.323.536 (10.167.557)* Objects: 29.848 (61.648)* ()* incl. instances 24 frames per second. Each frame takes 3-4 minutes on a decent double quad-core computer. My electricity bill will be horrible ...
  17. Magnus
    More here. The setup gets more accomplished now. The latest render features a bow wave and foam along the hull...

    Hi, finally the third HMS Pandora now. I started this project years ago and it was suspended quite a while. At the beginning of this year I did revisit it and finalized it. I am currently doing the first big render tests and put first results on YouTube: Some photes of the same setting here:
  19. Magnus
    Hi, at this moment I am doing the first big motion render. Even with some just preliminary light- and sea settings each frame takes 9 minutes!
  20. Magnus
    Hi, your 3D Pandora is outstanding. But be warned ... when it comes to the rigging ;-) You might have taken notice of mine here: http://www.navaltales.de/components/com_ponygallery/img_pictures/originals/20130217_1954330117_17022013-01.jpg www.navaltales.de Rgds, Stefan

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
