Good_2_Be how is you new ship coming along
Skipsan
PS: WE need our bananas back
Have not let her run down the slipway yet, bit o fine tuning yet. LOD's and some paint and a DP file. Real world keeps stealing my motivation Attachment 21983
Lookin' good GTB!

Hello again
She is beautiful :ernae::ernae::ernae:
What program are you using to model the ship? I just down loaded "Free!ship" Deep in my sole I know that I must get in to ship building I personally enjoy the smaller ship like: Army FP/FT Vessels large yard craft and others like APc small coastal transport :mixedsmi: http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/23/23001.htm
Please keep up all your great work's I do enjoy your efforts and artistry
Skipsan
PS Are the Banana's back? Oh I do hope-so
Skipsan,
You have to make up your mind which sim you wanna build for.
Gmax can build for most but is difficult to learn.
FSDS will make models for cfs2 and 3 but will cost you. Its made by Abacus and is quite easy to learn. If it is cfs2 you wanna build for then you will need FSDS2.
Delft ship is available as free trial.
Not sure about Free!ship, you might find that exporting the model can be complicated.
If you have deep pockets, 3Dmax versions 8 or 9, is top of the range, but again difficult to learn.
Beside's all that, you will have to get the plans of the models you make or at least a good bit of data to make a half decent model.
Let us know what you gonna do and the guys here can help you.

Skipsan,
this is a typical Gmax user.....

Please note the following....
The "what the f", expression.
The busted nose where he has been banging his head against the monitor.
The unshaven and generally unkempt appearance,(the slovenly brute).
The tired eyes from staring at the screen wondering what happened to his texture's.
The hood to cover his baldness.
The empties waiting to be returned and replenished (background left).
The fur lined toilet (background right) and no toilet paper.
Skipsan, this could be you in a few weeks time.
regards Collin:ernae:
Plus he is in Phoenix AZ (at a temp of 75 degrees Fahrenheit) and wearing a light arctic parka. :isadizzy:
.. it appears that severe "G-string brain-damage" has already occurred .. very similar to your affliction Collin! Attachment 22500

~~ CFS2 Fulfills my need to "peacefully" blow things up ~~
Collin I shall try and head/remember your dyer warning of thing to come
However I must give it a go :ernae: It seams no-one is interested in the small workhorse of the fleet Take a Army FT hauling trash from one forward supply base to a forward Army Air
Unit and along comes 2 Pete's The fight is on FT w/2-twin .50 cal's and 1-single 40mm AA Ether side can win this fight. Pulse when one looks at the Fleet, yes the Big Boy's stand out and are the one's noticed. That being said look around them what is filling in all that space? Aux, support, supply and services craft
Thank you for your support and concern for my health and wellbeing :salute:
Skipsan
Excuse Me Dirtman! I belive that Toronto OH-CANADA is in the Canada Banana Belt Why not come up to the real Canada; NW Ontario Ca I senses a Freudian slip Dirtman winters-over in AZ [southern US]
Nice try but no banana's Oh you are in the banana belt

Yo Skip;
OK so yer a little slow on the up-take .... let me explain it to you:
The pic Collin posted is of Good_2_B (from his webcam) .... he lives in Arizona .... he thinks 75F is cold.
Now do you understand Bro?
I could elaborate farther .... maybe put all the info in a .PDF & email it to ya?

The "what the f", expression. Evening talking to the Dozen
The busted nose where he has been banging his head against the monitor. This is a fine noble nose busted by a 2X4
The unshaven and generally unkempt appearance,(the slovenly brute). The benefit of not working in a office, Slovenly indeed, the ladies like a rugged scruffy look. I think next summer I'm gonna work in a kilt.
The tired eyes from staring at the screen wondering what happened to his texture's. From looking at Collin Attachment 22770
The hood to cover his baldness. Bald, your just jealous of my long locks and full head o hair.
The empties waiting to be returned and replenished (background left). Those are strictly medicinal from mi own still
The fur lined toilet (background right) and no toilet paper. Aye it be mink. but what is toilet paper let alone a toilet?
Skipsan, this could be you in a few weeks time. Seriously takes less than three days and the ladies won't leave you alone Attachment 22773
And I know 70 degree's is cold Attachment 22775
Well Collin I downloaded "DELFT Ship free" so we shall have a go I think
Have a question for you; would your "Crew @ Fox Four" consider taking on this little ditty: http://www.warboats.org/crashboat.htm
The Med air-crew's really would appreciate it
Skipsan
I downloaded Delft a couple of years ago....never did any serious work with it, so it got deleted a couple of months back. Now I'm waiting for FSDS4 to come out.
There is already a RAF rescue launch out for cfs2. But, as with most sites, they will give you the plans for profile and plan view but leave out the boring bit the "lines" plan.
"lines" show the shape of the hull fore and aft which in turn governs the shape of the main deck and the superstructure, see below.
Attachment 22977
To make a good 3D model, you really have to find the plans to a specific date an gather what data you can about the ship at that time. Nowadays, this might involve buying foreign booklets like Profile Morskie or some Japanese publication, (which is great, it means you have to approach the Polish waitresses for translations and let things happen from there).
The crash boat, has a difficult hull because of its 'chine', I would have to look up in my library to see if there were any comparable plans. But between making the new tanker (bitch of a bridge) and the 'Fuhrer' giving me crazy orders in Blitzkrieg Mission Barbarossa (I'm now Oberstleutnant), my time is at a premium.
By all means test a few ship modelling programs, but remember that they have to be able to export to cfs2 and be able to have that file usable by the sim. Once you have this the next stage is your setup in file's, when you have made a part, gun/lifeboat/winch, etc, save the part to a file by itself so that you can recall it for another model at a later date, this saves a lot of time.
regards Collin:ernae:
Roger that Collin :salute: I do not like doing bits and piece's over and over again :isadizzy:
My thought was you could import the plan & profile views plot the points and go from there. Vice doing or trying to locate the lines. Although the FT/FP do have a very nice set of lines for the plans
Thanks for the info Collin
Skipsan
Talkin smack about the GMAX users again I see.
Good thing I am sooo above such attacks... otherwise I would have to close this thread.
