ok, here goes my entry :
a small wooden boat.
The tutorial would cover modelling, texturing, and possibly small animation.
I chose a small boat to keep the length of the tutorial within limits (kinda, I did my best....).
example of the kind of ship, these exist both painted and unpainted.
Why ?
- It's the second most beautiful thing in the world !!!
( a woman being the first naturally, but that's way to complicated, really !!! :lmao: )
- It's a complex shape
- I haven't seen any tutorial on this subject anywhere
- I chose a wooden boat because texturing also looks very complex on a boat, and wood seems the worst to do.
- It could combine with other tutorials without going further on an existing tutorial.
For instance the ocean scene, the fishy or the evening sunlight tutorial. It would make great animations instant possible for inexperienced builders.
some sub idea’s :
Modeling could cover getting accurate blueprints of a ship to lightwave and getting the planks on the ribs of the ship, and so creating a complex form.
( I could provide the blueprints, and reference material )
Texturing could show how NOT to put a single texture over the entire hull, but rather making sure the planks are clearly different, making it realistic.
Animation could cover linking the ship to the sea so it can sail and follow the ocean surface meanwhile.
Rigging the sail to the ship and getting wind effects on it ( and on rope’s ) are also possible. ( I think many wouldn't have a clue how to start at this )
A nice extra could be carving the name of the boat in a plank on the bow.
Another possible extra could be a painted version....
These are all just side idea's naturally....:blush:
Final render would show a lifelike wooden ship, complete with sail.
( and give basic knowledge to build basically any kind of ship )
