I am an active moderator on PiratesAhoy.net, home of the PotC Build Mod (and more recently, the Hearts of Oak project). I have made numerous contributions to the latest version of New Horizons, including porting new ships, upgrading old ones, and some texture and code work. I'm currently working as a 3D artist on the Hearts of Oak development team, creating ship models for the game. If you have any questions about PiratesAhoy!, the Build Mod or Hearts of Oak, please visit our forums at www.piratesahoy.net/forum for the quickest response.
One of the most significant ships in Hornblower's career is the Indy, so we're considering giving her a makeover. This is a different model, re-worked to resemble the historical Indy, a frigate razéed from a Ship of the Line. Quite why the current model is based on a pinnace, I've no idea...
a very cool ship how you build the ships???
I don't build them myself, but the modellers on our main forum do. They use a variety of programs, mostly 3DS Max and Maya 5.0, and can take anything from a few weeks to a few months to complete a project.
I sometimes use Maya to modify and fix ships, but more often than not I work on better textures for them.
