scrawnypaws Posted October 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2013 Hi all, hope this is the proper place/way to post this. My name is Sasha Beliaev, I'm a CG professional (games, film) living in Vancouver, BC. Here's my website with some old samples: www.scrawnypaws.com I work on a personal project that involves building 3D ships from construction drawings (Ancre, G.Delacroix). I'm looking for a person with the following skillset: - familiarity with 17-18 c. ship structure and functionality - intermediate to good to expert modelling skills (3ds max preferably, or anything that converts to .max or .obj, NO Rhino please); low to mid poly count, clean modelling, UV unwrapping (if possible) - ability to interpret and riff off a historical design/prototypes It's a paid job (compensation TBD) and a professional project, too. No beginners, please. If you're interested, up to the task or know somebody who fits the description, please drop me a line. Thank you very much indeed.

malachy Posted October 29, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 29, 2013 Sounds like a very interesting project. May I ask why you chose ANCRE plans? Is this just about french vessels? And what is a low-to-mid polycount for a sailing ship? 20k tris? 100k tris? Curious minds and all that...^^ By the way, just had a look at your website, great modelling (the Suprise has a couple of inaccuracies, though), but I really fell in love with your drawings/paintings.You have a very nice style with an unique atmosphere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrawnypaws Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Hi, thank you for the reply. Surprise is not a Surprise at all - it's an inexpert mixture of 2 ships. It's an old model, too. French plans: they are accurate. Poly count: 1.5-2M with instanced geo before mesh smoothing. Level of detail for up-close rendering.

RKurczewski Posted November 27, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) IF you are still looking for such a person- please, let me know. I am at the moment lead artist at company called TurboSquid. Sample of my work is here: I also did a reconstruction of inner structure of HMS Hero (plus few other ships) Edited January 3, 2014 by RKurczewski jchbeiner and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WackoWolf Posted November 27, 2013 Share #5 Posted November 27, 2013 Nice work. Have you done anything using "SoildWorks". Quote Wacko Joe Go MSW :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKurczewski Posted November 27, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 27, 2013 Not really. I come from ...how to say it... more "artistic"/ gaming circles and SolidWorks is more of a technical piece of software. Max, Maya, Blender- those are pieces of software I am using.
