I'm incredibly impressed by this model. Have you considered an animated
fly-by, focussing on some details?

Thanks Shay, it's comments like that that put a big grin on my face and give
me the boost to keep plugging away.

I have been thinking of an animation of the ship. In the back of my mind, I
have been thinking of how to make it move with the swells. First
though...more modeling on the ship.

Thanks for your comments Bill.

*Sigh* I'm glad I'm not looking at these at work because they'd make me 
long too much for the vacation I spent in the Carribean.

Beautiful! *sniffle*

I want to go sailing now. Great modelling.

Those fine lines are needing more ray depth. I can see there'll be trouble
with that unless you're final rendering is huge.

Nice.

Was this Brig really steered with a Tiller, as it appears in the model.
That amount of sail would put a fearful amount on stress of the guy
steering.

I'm not expert on cordage, but, I cant make out any ropes for drawing the
spars round.

I havn't been able to see any anchors in either of your posts.  Are they
coming?

You might want to have a darker coloured sail option, for the winter/bad
weather sails.

Is this really a 16 gun Brig!  What size of gun would this carry?  I'd also
love to know if there will be any cannons on this model, it looking so
splendid.

I too am worried about AA for the final rendering, I have not read up on it
very much, so there may be much tath I can do.

There are clocks and tackle attached to the tiller to aid the helmsman.

I still have quite a lot of running rigging to model. The standing rigging
is almost finished.

I will attach an image of the anchor.

Exellent idea. thank you very much. This will be easy to implement. I also
have the patterns for the storm sails.

Actually it is a 18 gun Brig. She carries 2 24 pound long guns in the bows
and 16 32 pound carronades.

I have done quite a bit of modelling on both the long guns and the
carronades. I will attach an image of the long gun generated during and
experiment with Iso CSG and textures. It shows that I have quite a lot to
learn about both, but you will be able to see the basic modelling.

Thanks for your comments.

I must say that I follow your project progress with much attention.
It is a huge one but it is likely to end as a Masterwork!
How long have you been working on it yet?
You let no weak link and are an example of patience

POV could be rename for you as "Perseverance of Vision" or "Perseverance on
Vessel" :-)

Keep on the excellent work and thank you

Cheers
Marc

Wow, thanks for those comments!

I believe I have been working on it for just over a year and a half now. The
project has become my way of relaxing while my wife watches TV. It has
meant going from a 1 Ghz 256 Meg of Ram to a 3Ghz 1G of RD ram and I am
thinking I need to double the amount of ram.

I started the project as a means of learning POVRay. I thought a project
like this would be a great way of learning all of the programs features...I
just din't understnd the full impact of that statement at all!

I love this program and the community that supports it. Fantastic!
