B elow are renders of the rope coiler for the deck of the  F/V  Scully fully textured and complete . This was another one of those builds that lacked any  close-up reference of the mechanical parts. These coilers are commonly  seen in the TV show Deadliest Catch, as they are situated right where all the action happens on the main deck. Luckily, I discovered a PDF plan of one online, which helped for all the complex geometry; such as the motor and pivoting arm. I really enjoyed weathering this piece. As it is close to the starboard side near all the spray of the ocean, I created lots of  rusty patches,  dinks from wear and tear, as well as, muddy grime from the rope brought up from the sea floor.

I knew m odelling all the geometry for the treads of the tyre would be both time consuming and unnecessarily heavy on performance in the game. Instead, I simply replicated the  treads by creating a height map. I did this by finding  i
