Boat Interior

W

hile I've been constructing the exterior of the F/V Scully, I thought it was time to block out the interior for future modelling and complete the bulk of the boat's body.  

From the start of the project, I had a rough idea on what the layout of the decks would look like from viewing similar crab fishing boats in the TV show Deadliest Catch. Though it was only until I had completed the exterior of the hull could I make a start on building the internals.

I was able to use the design sheets I created of the fore and aft cross sections (see here and here) to help guide me in the construction process.

Here is a preview of all the F/V Scully's interior compartments blocked out.

Above I have unhidden the starboard hull surface for a better profile of the boat's outline. Once I get to a stage later down the line, where it feels overall closer to completion, I'll mirror the geometry over to create the whole vessel.

I am very much looking forward to decorating the interior spaces in the near future!


Thanks for reading :)

Crab Pot

For the next step of the modelling process of the crab pot, I was challenged with another huge hurdle ( to say the least). This stage was where all the painstaking problems crawled in again.  The rope. I thought making some bendy cords would be simple enough, but believe me, it was anything but. There aren't many tutorials, covering the whole modelling process to the end 'game ready' product, for rope. So, like previous obstacles I faced in the modelling stage, I used multiple methods and trial and error to find the best path.  Actually, creating a tube following a manually placed path, was the easiest part for me. I had picked this step up while at University. However, I had to manually place and move each Bezier path to form the guide lines, for yards of rope, in a natural and realistic way. Hundreds of them. I spent more hours than I would have liked, setting up the paths to guide the rope along. I kept asking myself that there must be an easier way to tie...

Render Tests

An important element in the conceptual stage is to not look at a problem from one perspective. It's always best to get multiple views to achieve a greater outcome. To reach an end goal is one thing. The journey to that end goal is something else entirely. One of my favourite quotes by Carl Friedrich Gauss states "It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment". I totally agree with this and it applies to game development. Creating something big or small brings its challenges and the act to reach the finish line is where the magic happens. I hope to experiment in several styles, as would any other artist working early on in game development; focusing on diversity and demonstrating imagination.
