evening all,
I'm organising my semester design class to 3rd yr architecture students here and was thinking of giving them the task of designing the accommodation of a 30-50ft boat. Mobo or sail, don't mind both are rather difficult and completely different to what they are used to design, so fine by me.
Now, I do have the hull of mine measured fairly accurately but that's just the wetted area (wanted to get the displacement...) and never bothered doing the rest in proper 3D. Boat is now in the water and I'm not too keen in trying to do the rest of the 3D model.
Wonder if there's a way to get hold of a few rough cut 3D models of hulls up to side decks.
Don't care about interiors, don't really mind if there's superstructure, might be better if there's none so they can try what they like within the constraints of the hull shape.
Accuracy is obviously not an issue, lowish polygon models would be fine.
I understand copyrights et al maybe involved, but it's student exercise so should be able to overcome that (me thinks at least!)
You recon there's a chance to get hold of such models?
cheers
V.
PS. added: needless to say that I've picked a dozen or so whatever models by googling, even a slightly out of proportion 40something f/b
