Boat modelling

[Dog-E]

Hi, on 3ds max 5, i will model a boat (without sails and anything, just and old boat). But i couldnt find any source images or anything like that. Can someone help me?

[DDD]

you did not find a boat on google? What kind of boat, speedboat, rowboat, fishboat??....need alitlle more information

hmm i have a feeling he means a top front and left of the same boat...if you find one let me know because i would love to try the same thing.

But have you tried using just a side of one? I'm sure that would work. Can you find an image at all? Like DDD said, try google or Getty Images.

[Dog-E]

yes, i found some images on google, but dont think they will be enough

if you are referring to schematics try suurland.com. But if you are looking for boat images you will have to let us know what type of boat you are looking for. As there are many types.

As i said, i am looking for a boat with no sails, nothing. I dont know the exact term in english but, it is an old, non-motored one.

a row-boat...?


a dingy...?

[DDD]

just say the non english term....someone will know what it is. Not everyone here is from America.

Google search term: row boat (http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=row+boat&sa=N&tab=wi)

Google image search is always very helpful for me. Sorry I can't be of more assistance

[Dog-E]

yes. row boat. ok i'l keep it in my mind..

[DDD]

dude if you put in "boat".....in google you come up with just about the same images but you have to look a little more as row boat is a more narrow search. Are you sure you looked? Because even with "boat" as the criteria you still would have found what you were looking for.

[Dog-E]

Oh, sorry really. I forgot to say that i was looking for reference images of a row boat for 3ds max. Blueprints... I looked at lots of site but couldnt find any.

http://www.suurland.com/ i posted that earlier. Look there for some schematics. A row boat may be something you can just draw yourself as it is very simple in its make up.

Theres a certain amount of creativity that needs to be put into your work. Without it, your work will be dead in the water (get the pun? hehe :D) Basically, don't expect to be able to find exactly what you want, because the only one who knows what you want is you, and a way to get what you want is to put it down on paper and then model off that.

yes, i will surely add things, but i need the basic of the boat.
