Thanks Bald Eagle, I'm highly honored!
As Royal Architect and Master Ship Builder I've been working the last week on
the deck cranes. Modesty does not allow me to say that I'm pleased with the
result, so I won't say that I am quite pleased with the result.
Cheers
Ton

I do not want to give you undue delusions (nor speaking of vanity, God
forbid) about your merits as a designer, so I wont tell you that you did
a perfect job.

Now you are talking my language. I've spent years working on deck
cranes' SWL equipment. :)

I must admit that it is not bad. ;)

Bedankt Thomas.

There are more cranes coming, Stephen, on the well decks.
It's about three weeks since I've posted progress. I've not been idle, working
on the forecastle and aft- (or poop-)deck. A lot of smaller things.
I've also added the C-deck, and I am now thinking of a nice easy way to create
the hull between B-deck and C-deck. The two forward sections are polygons, and
the data for them
are located in arrays. So I want to create a loop, iterating over the vertices,
and create
triangles along the way. I'm afraid the normal vectors will require a bit of
math (vcross
and vnormalize come to mind). Interesting days ahead!
Here's the latest render of the bow:
Cheers
Ton.

That is going to be interesting. It is years ago that I mused about ship
hulls and the way to make them in POV. I abandoned at that time, turning
instead to the use of: http://www.delftship.net/ which does an excellent
job.
In a simple manner, I did some triangle mesh building in my Gancaloon
series years ago (I need to revisit one day!). I enjoyed to do that and
I learned a lot from the process. So, Do not let us wait for too long ;-)

Here is the result of playing around with vectors and angles.
Looks like a nice round backside.....
Cheers

Yes. There still seems to be a hint of angles in the curve though. Could
to be solved with a bit higher resolution of the mesh.

I need to speak sternly. :-)

Or an additional control point near the centre line. If it is a spline.
The ship is coming along. I can almost smell the coal fired boilers. :-)

You could make a "stealth Titanic", full of angles and straight areas in
between. ;-)
Don't take me serious.
But I have another proposal, on the serious side:
if you like the idea, I could give you the source code for my 1850s
river paddle-wheel steamboat, and you can place it beside your Titanic.
I use 1 unit as 1 meter.

I thought it actually looked more natural. They *were* bending and
riveting steel.
I can only find one picture of the stern (lots of drawings of it in the
air though...)
