Thanks to Iambecomelife i am using wings3d again and i must admit after a while it's much easier to use !
I practised alot already with it today and the skill progress is good.
Now if anyone wants to see some try outs and such please tell me and also explain me how to post it here because i wanted to post a picture of a seehund which i saw in Brest, France but i wasn't able to post it because it was too big when i made it in a .bmp
It's long hard work but now after more then one week i made quiet some skill in creating i hope that i will have a nice full hull of the dar mlodziezy next week !
Then i need to "skin" it? as the modders say to make it have a look.
I do have some nice pictures of the ship from sideways when i was arriving back home with it (taken by my dad) But i don't know how to skin it so maybe somebody else can tell me how to do that?
In the meantime i will work further on the hull and masts of the vessel.
I post a lot just to keep sure i'm alive and still working on it
Maybe it's annoying all my posts i dunno but i just wanted to make sure to all of you that i try very hard on it !

Here i am again just to keep everyone here served with the hottest

I tried to make the hull for several hours but then i had the problem that i made the stuff too big.
So i guess i need to build it in several files to build an entire vessel.
And then i need to make things also much smaller then they are now.
Wings3d can't handle the huge things that i build

Maybe there's some advice on that? because i make a lot of this balls but i just need a few and then move them freely? i really don't know but i give this method a try now!

Deck shape, bow and keel are already done!
Things are going good so far

Use pack3d to export a ship.
That will show you how a ship is divided into parts.
Then use the main object as a starter scale.
DivingDuck has a scaleing wall on his website
that will help to scale things properly also.

No need to rebuild what you have.
Just scale everything down.

Thank you privateer !
And when should i use this ?
After i have an entire 3 model or when i finished the hull completely?
I'm always open for much advice that way i can probably save a lot of time And then u guys can experience it too.

Have one part of the hull more or less good so now i can copy it over the ship and then i need to modify it slightly and THEN i need to give the deck structure the shape it needs because on a sailing ship the deck isn't flat but angled

Is perhaps anyone interested in sailing this vessel ingame?
Not for war of course but just some sailing and maybe get a clou where the british sail in game but won't get attacked
The vessel is capable of going up to 16knots in good wind conditions. And when the water was calm we did almost 8knots on the two diesel engines.
And they would go probably faster if good maintained and they weren't.
They needed a good clean of the turbo's and such.

Just give me a sign if anyone wants to sail on a sailing ship in game

I think any ship is worth makeing playable.
But come to terms with the simple stuff first.
You must learn to walk before you run.

I throw the towel in the ring.
I can make some 3d models but i just do so many things that my work doesn't improve at all.
Playing guitar and making amplifiers already takes all the time i have so i really can't combine making a sailing mod.
I already saw an interior 3d mod for some subs and it would also be useless for me to try to work on such a thing if others already made it so perfect.

Pff it's starting to make me insane at the moment !
I downloaded so many of the suggested software and nothing works to import !
Something is wrong with the file type but i can't save it in something else in wings3d!
