The French 74 Gun Ship

It does help to determine how much detail your going to put into a model like this. Just the rigging alone can take ages to get right if you want to model all the ropes.

I dig the details on the hilt. They look very crisp and clean.

That is some crazy detailing on the saber. Are reliefs done via displacement? What did you use normal for? The head is also done very well, I like the eyes especially.

Firstly I sculpted all in ZBrush, then I made retopology and baked some elements (patterns, leafs, flowers) in displ and normal. Normal map for noises on leather.
Head was started as lowpoly for character, but then it became a little bit more detailed.

Very impressed with those crazy details. Can you post a wireframe of it?

#17

The details on the sword is impressive. What software did you use for the texturing?

#18

Thanks for your comments

What software did you use for the texturing?

Normal map baked in XNormal, displ map baked in Mudbox. I haven’t any diff map, only shader setting and mask. Usually I use Mari and Photoshop for texturing.

Incredible level of detail on the sword, and the character looks fantastic as well.

Superb work on the ship’s boats - have you made a start on the hull of the ship itself yet? I built a British 64 several years back; looks like you’re taking it to another level entirely! Looking forward to seeing this develop.

A couple of parts of the sword’s hilt details seem extremely dense though - are you planning on generating some normal maps from those and using lighter parts instead?

Ah great, thanks for the response. :wink:

I’m continuing my project

This is a mammoth project! :slight_smile: Large-scale, highly detailed ship AND a realistic, highly detailed character. Hats off to you. Huge amount of work.

The sword is beautiful. Excellent modeling and incredible attention to detail.

Also, the admiral has real character already. He even looks French. :wink:

Brilliant work.
