Galley Progress

O

ne of the most enjoyable interior spaces of the F/V Scully to model so far has been the galley. This is the heart of the fishing vessel, serving as both the kitchen and the crew's lounge area. My primary inspiration was the galley of the F/V Saga, as seen on the TV show Deadliest Catch. 

While I do replicate pre-existing elements, drawing heavily from real-world references, a significant part of the interior design process involves reverse-engineering features to accurately reflect the late 70s setting. For instance, the kitchen appliances underwent a deep dive, from the specific oven models to the design of the taps (faucets for any Americans reading). I've ensured that (almost) everything looks like it belongs from the 70s, rather than from a modern boat. This approach to even the smallest of details is central to creating an authentic experience.

Additionally, the challenge with this space was not simply to model a kitchen that looks functional, but also to capture the human aspect. The feeling that this is a space that's lived-in, a space that is both a place of work and a place of rest for the crew of the F/V Scully.

Below are a couple of screenshots of the galley. The majority of the units and panelling will be wooden; specifically teak. I'm eager to introduce earth tones with pops of colour during the texturing phase!

6 Yr Blog Anniversary

H appy  6th Blogiversary! Six years ago today, this project began! Over two thousand days later  (Gulp) , I'm still proud of the consistency I've maintained. I often think back to University, which instilled in me the habit of posting regularly on Blogger. Looking back, it's incredible to see how much has changed, and yet how much the core of this project remains the same.  It's not always easy, but this blog has become a vital part of my creative process and personal growth. Developing D_ROGUE has been a long journey with many challenges and lessons learned along the way. Seeing the progress over the years fuels my motivation, especially that initial drive to document my work and build a portfolio. There's still a looooooong way to go, but I'm more determined than ever. Remembering my original intent...to document my journey, share my learnings, and build a portfolio, is key. Seeing my skills grow through previous posts has been both invaluable and ...

Timeless Terror: Jaws @ IMAX (50th Anniversary Re-Issue) Review/Analysis

T he 50 th Anniversary Re-Issue IMAX screening of Steven Spielberg's  Jaws  (1975) was not just a revisit to a classic, but a thoughtful re-education and celebration of cinematic history. From the moment the MCA Universal logo and the iconic JAWS title card graced the colossal IMAX screen, the experience justified every penny. The stunning clarity plunged the audience into Amity Island’s perilous summer like never before. The enhanced resolution revealed details previously lost to small screens and the compression/conversions to old VHS and DVDs. A prime example of this is immediately apparent in the opening sequence. The day-for-night shots where Tom is running after Chrissie on the beach, is remarkably clearer. This allows for a much richer appreciation throughout. As someone with deep admiration for analogue artifacts, particularly works shot on ARRIFLEX or Panavision cameras with anamorphic lenses, this IMAX presentation elevate...

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...
