Aug 10: Sunseeker Yacht

[Gadgetfun]

Hi Guy's,

I found this amazing yacht on the internet so I will model this one. You can rent it for a small amount of $50,000 a week. If we go with 500 people it's only 100 bucks :tongue:

Nice, wait to see more of it man, im sure you will do a good job :D

[Gadgetfun]

I hope so, it's tricky without blueprints. :)

[Dean]

yeah it is, i was trying to find some good blueprints for this contest to...

[Gadgetfun]

There are indeed some blueprints on the net but in very poor quality or very low resolution. I think we have to eyeball it this time.

[Dean]

yeah, its a good practice tho man, cause sometimes we just wont get the perfect reference images, even for character modeling you can get only like 3/4 drawing and have to model it from that, so practice makes perfect :D

Cheers!

[Gadgetfun]

Your totally right! :D

Hi all,

Here is a update:

Blocked out almost all of the main surface. Now I have to place some edge's to smooth out the surface and add some details in. Then I will start adding the fences and holes in yacht.

Very nice work. I particularly like the look of the natural flow of the beveling on the upper two decks.

Wow Gadgetfun, you always amaze me with your speed and great results. Keep it up!

[Anitricks]

man this is like god work..... it looks like somebody took a picture of it in hd...... the lighting and materials are perfect... but, just a to make a little perfect i suggest that you change the color of the water... it looks a little blueish.... but other than that magnificent work...... incredible work...

[spyro]

Wow... looking great man!!

Are those chairs on the middle section chairs with wheels? Lol, should be a lot of fun on a boat with that kind of chairs ;)

[DjVoyager]

Excellent!

Hi All,

@stwert and DjVoyager, Thanks :)

@Anitricks, thanks and yeah the water color was wrong. In the animation I had to change some stuff to get good render speeds for the animation.

@spyro Thanks, That you saw that hahaha removed the wheels of those chairs :)

[DjVoyager]

WOW! That is sweet! Was the miniature setup planned? :) I like it.
