They look okay. I'm 5'10", and I was stooping most of the way round. The lowest points are the beams, which must only be about 5'5" above the deck.
Cheers,

I just saw on the History channel a show on the Victory. They covered Nelson and the Trafalgar battle in detail. Very interesting stuff with lots of details on the ship. Not sure if you have access to the History channel where you live, but you may want to check their website and see when they are running that show again. You can also order a DVD of the show if you are really interested.

Well, I've just being doing tutorials (free at the mo untill my student laon comes through!!) form here and out of Maya 6 3d for beginers from the library.

I've been playing around with some ideas and models that ive done, i've put a JD bottle in the finished work section as well as a Fender Strat guitar, that wasn't completed (sorry I'll be honest I didn't read the sticky, I know it now though, it was my first post!! the strat that is)

I dont know if this is the right way to go about things but what i've being doing is to create small parts of the overall model in different layers and then combining them together into one layer by stitching them together, its kind of like the workflow i've used in photoshop in the past (not that i'm an experienced user in that either but i know my way around)

Doing something as big as the victory is awesome!! I had to go to Portsmouth where I used to work on business and I saw the victory at a distance through lots of fog and it looked awesome, need to go and have a look first hand.

Have you got an idea of a scene your going to put it into yet??

Texture? Just slap a light brown Lambert on it and call it good!user added image

Looks like things are filling in quite nice. Haven't you been tempted to do some final gather test renders?

Final gather is pretty simple. If your model isn't too much bigger than the grid then the default settings should work fine. Probably the easiest way to get crankin' is to set the camera environment to something other than black and disable the default light and render away. After that you can try adding in lights or geometry with its incandescence turned up.

Rock on, Tim!
