Hi everyone, I hope everybody is doing fine !
Update on what's have been done this week on Coureur,
First of all, the masts have been placed ! now i can truly appreciate the scale of the ship.
I tried to be as precise as possible on all the technical aspects of the masts, and how they works together.
Also I added that front piece I totally forgot about
And right now i'm starting to work on the ropes, attach points and rigging. This will be the most challenging part for sure !
The modeled rigging will only be static rigging, the sails and the ropes attached to them will probably be simulated, so i won't have to model them.
I'll start the rigging from the back of the ship working my way all the way to the front, finishing by the anchors, because they are maintained by the rope itself so i want to be sure ti have the right rope workflow before doing them.
The cleats will need a lot of rework and i need to understand how and why the knots are made a certain way to be sure to be as accurate as possible.
As always do not hesitate to give feedbacks of tips
Have a great day and week everybody ! see you next time
Max
