Hi everybody!

The part I am working on is about the perish of Russian battleship "Imperator Aleksandr III".

Episode 1. The Russian squadron rearguard ships are covered by admiral Kamimura armoured cruisers squadron fire (5 sec)
Episode 2. Japanese cruisers salvo (2 sec)
Episode 3. The "A III" already damaged starts to turn from the Russian ships battle line towards Japanese cruisers squadron and takes on her all the Japanese fire. (16 sec)
Episode 4. The "A III" continues turning. The camera shows Japanese squadron over her hull. (16 sec)

Sketches
Ep. 1 http://rapidshare.de/files/27185122/new0601.jpg.html The camera is fixed.

Ep. 4 The camera flies between water explosions.

Are coming:
The ship continuing up to her last moment of life to fight turned over the keel. Russian cruiser "Izumrud" tried to save the survived but was forced by Japanese cruisers fire to retire. The ship perished with all hands (900 seamen) nobody survived.

Please, give me your suggestions how to make scenes more dramatical.
And one more question: May be anybody of you works with an animated pictures studio and you could help me to find a producer. I have built all Russian that War warships.

Dear Timmy,

It is not a problem to get to know it. Please ask questions, I'll try to answer them.

In fact the most difficult thing is to get in habit with the CAD program you use, to man the drawing area, and to link your necessities to a concrete button.

Which program do you use?

I use AutoCAD at school, and Rhino when at home. Thanks for the reply =)

I use Autocad at work. I could provide you with some usage I now have.

1. I use just standart views from the VIEW pannel. To create 2D drawing - you need to use only 1 TOP view. To start with creating 3D you need to almost forget about plan views and to use mostly Isometric ones.

Do you have any experience in creating 3D models? If you do not, so try to understand that drawing that you see at your display has 3 dimensions. Draw several lines in X, Y, Z and try to figure that they go let say "inside" your display.

If you have some 2D drawings use ISOMETRIC views to preview them. Lines that you have drawn will help you to understand ISOMTRIC views logics.

You will not belive me, but this is the most difficult step out of 3 steps, that you need to undertand to make quite good models - I assure you.
