HMS Ark ROYAL WIP
Hi all,
I'm working on a 3d Ark Royal
see the green triangle in the picture... Do I have to substitute it with.....an idraulic jack?
It should be an idraulic jack I suppose but i do not have any reference drawing
who can help me to design right...barrier...or windshield.......
regards

Hi guys,
my main problem : I do not have good line drawings to design power hinges for the windscreens of my AR
see the pictures
How are done they ?

Hi guys.
that's what I did
it seems good considering I have to design all using low polys....all the ship has to have 50000 polys
if you have other ideas pls draw a little sketch to show me how I have to do
regards
ps the AR on her deck had a crash barrier or windscreen?

Re: HMS Ark ROYAL WIP
I don't know that much about the Ark Royal, but I googled some pics of aircraft carriers. If that didn't come up, I googled 'Hydraulics' or 'Flight Deck' or 'Aircraft Launch Carrier' and by using a different variety of inputs, I got those pics I posted.
Sometimes, if you don't have the real information, you just have to wing it. At the scale you are working at, I doubt that anyone is going to call you on any details. If they do, you can ask them to clarify, then you have your info!
Have you tried different blueprint sites on the web?
Are there any sites devoted to aircraft carriers or where servicemen gather to discuss their time in the forces?
Any websites devoted to ships, rather than models?
Have you Googled Ark Royal Model? That might get a few hits. Someone else may have solved all the problems you have now and they may just have posted nice screens of their work. I'm not saying copy what they did, but you would get from what they have done on how you can solve problems your way. Also, someone else may have posted a load of reference pics in reply to the model that they were building. You could use them to clarify parts of the ship you are unclear on.
Sometimes you have to approach research at a 90 degree angle to get results.

Re: HMS Ark ROYAL WIP
thanks Owen,
I did a research at a 90 degree angle to get results, sure, but I didnt find nothing unless some unclear pictures
no drawings showing flight deck particulars.
that's the reason I asked in this forum to have an help
For instance I do not know how is an armoured british flight deck, I mean how is built, there are metal plates...yes how are their sizes...lenght...wide...in order to drawing a texture
we know all about us flight deck and nothing about british, so it's difficult to reproduce a good texture for deck.
all my best

That is looking good. Sometimes you just have to improvise a little bit with what you have.

Re: HMS Ark ROYAL WIP
That is looking MUCH better!
I'm no expert on post-Dreadnought construction, but I would say the hatch would go on the back of the turret.
