Searching for people with 3D modeling skills

[fmackenzie]

Guys
Perhaps you can help me. I am in charge of a 3D Modeling Business unit , part of a Division of a major and worlwide recognized maritime organization .
I am looking for a dedicated group of people to meet our current and future demand of creating comprehensive structural ( Not only geometric) 3D models of offshore units ( Jack-ups, semi-subs,FPSO, etc) , ship units (Tankers, LNG, etc) .
This will be an on going business , the demand will be about 150 models /year.

If you are interested, please reply to this post and I will contact you to follow up

What exactly does the work entail?

[fmackenzie]

The work entails the creating of comprehensive 3D RDB (Relational Databases) to track structural condition and degradation during an asset lifecycle , by updating the original "as built " model with in service updated condition information ( Corrosion, thickness gaugings, etc)
For that, we need to build a structural 3d model from drawings ( Lines plans of perhaps some sort of compartimentation model ( like GHS, Napa, for the hull form, and structural drawings for details ( Bulkheads, frames, stringers, with all associated structural members like brackets, stiffeners, flat bar connections, etc) . Each of this components shall also contain as built information, like thickness, steel grade, dimensions, etc.

The tool we use to build these models is based on Autocad.

If you have drawings, I can model it in 3D, but some of the other stuff seems above my pay grade.

I would be interested, I have been working on a 1/48th virtual model of the USS Missouri (BB63) for about 15 years. I am a Product Development Engineer.

Let me know something more about what you need..
I'm structural engineer with extensive AutoCad experience (see my Bradley a couple of posts above).

Hello,

I am a model maker and would be interested in getting involved in building the models if there was an opportunity to do so as I have built quite a few water tight radio control models before. Following on from the other responses it would be nice to see the drawings. I have limited cad knowledge and I am currently learning how to use the Rhinocerous Drawing programme but I am no expert at the moment.

If you want to contact me, or need further information don't hesitate to get in touch.

Hi dylan. I would be very interested building models for you. I have around 12 years experience building 3d models for computer graphics and games. I also have cad and Autocad experience, allthough not for a few year now while studying product design, HNC.
I worked in the structural steel industry erecting steel framed buildings, and served my time as a stoker in the RN, so ive seen a lot of rust.
Hope you get in touch.

Bogey.

Apologies, that should have bene to fmackenzie. Got over entusiastic, and cant edit my post.
