Week 04: Starting to get Ship-Shape!

This week I started doing the grey box for the ship, getting a rough idea on how I wanted the ship to look. Modelling something this shape is new to me, so I wanted to play around with the meshes to get the shape and size I was happy with.

Even with the grey box laid out, I took a screen shot of the ship, and drew a few lines in krita over the model to see where I would want to make changes. I was also trying to layout how the ship would be divided up.

Once that was set up, I also wrote down a list of models that need to be created to add some authenticity to the ship, such as sails, lanterns, cannons, etc. Once I thought out all the objects I needed to make me realise there was more to the environment than I originally thought, I still thought it was possible for me to create it within the time line.
