Description:
It is a complete model of non- existing (although historically correct) english frigate HMS Aiax. File provided with render setup (on pressing F12 you should get precisely same results as visible on preview screen). It took me some time to complete it so I would be grateful if you can send me an info after using it just so I can take a look what you did. Pure curiosity and humble request, by no means "mandatory".
Here's WIP animation (in case you are curious):

Hope you like it and... Yarrr... ekhm... nice blendering.

Written December 08, 2012Well done. I enjoyed your video as well as it gave me insight to your workflow. Usually when I download a model to investigate the artist's techniques, I have no clue how he/she built it. I hope you continue to post your WIP videos in the future.
I had to mark this as a favorite. I used to live in Hawaii and I'd sail around the islands in a 21 foot sailboat anchoring in protective coves overnight when I could or pulling into a marina. There is only one thing better than sailing--I mean besides that; and that's flying (I was a commercial/instrument rated aerobatics pilot and also had my gliders license as well). Both are exhilarating and provide a peace within the soul.

Edited December 08, 2012You are very kind, thank you. Listening to your story I am getting envious. I am working with models of old sailships (my field is French pre- napoleonic navy) but I have never sailed one.

Edited December 08, 2012I've been a fan of this render since I first saw it as a competition submission for blenderguru. Really outstanding work. Thanks for sharing it!

Edited December 08, 2012I am honored you like it mate. That's my only way to say "thank you" to Blender community ( I do not have enough molah to support it other way). You (we) guys rock.

Written December 09, 2012Question:
Is there some significance to fact that you ship is towing a partially submerged long boat?
I just curious if it was part of the story you are telling in the scene or perhaps I just missed the obvious.
-
rkgalery
Edited December 09, 2012Nah, there is no story, really. Historically longboats were usually towed like that (they were not- as it is presumed today) lifesaving devices, but a way for a ship to communicate with land (after all if there was no port, ship was unable to approach a shore and crew still needed to get there for water or supplies). It is "submerged" only because for purpose of rendering it didn't really mattered if I cut- out "sea" or not. Yep, I am lazy.

Written August 24, 2015I assumed the longboat was in tow because battle was imminent. They'd put the captain's valuables in there so it won't get shot up. And also, this blend ROCKS!

Written December 31, 2012Hi
very realistic. I could not get the ocean to render though. I see somthing about ocean plugin. Which one is that?

Written January 30, 2013Ocean simulation is included into most Blender builts now- all you got to do is to turn it on in preferences.

Edited February 17, 2013thank you very much for sharing this. I'm a blender Noob and this model forced me to understand how the Ocean works. I'll never be able to create something like this, but seeing this will force me to at least create a detailed block and tackle object like you might find in an old barn. Anyway I thank you, I exported object and rendered it with Octane at DA http://pfrancke.deviantart.com/art/Aiax-354819858?ga_submit_new=10%253A1361111737

Written October 21, 2015Wow! It left me without words!! I am super super noob in blender, so I happily downloaded the file and tried to render it, but it brutally crashed after about 10 seconds (no error messages, the window just closed). I'm working with a Dell latitude windows 7 4 GB RAM 32 bit OS Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!
