ince a primary intent of this new design is to demonstrate the effect of the spindle shape on the submarine, I began the new Nautilus from the inside out, working from deloping plans. It's time to give a glimpse of the new hull, still very much in-work. |
|
The rendering at right shows the basic configuration of the hull with some dummy structures representing the wheelhouse, salon windows, and hatch. |

After trying some additional concepts, I settled on essentially the same overlapping plates as in the first design, shown at left. | |
| Unlike the original model's bump-mapped hull, the new plates are individual, discrete 3-D objects. The textures shown here may need a little more work to address repetition, but the overall appearance is much more realistic, especially along the edges and borders with other objects. The plates contrast nicely with the un-textured dummy structures in the rendering at left. | |
|
The detail of the old hull plates at right highlights their flat appearance where they butt against the old wheelhouse. |

More to come...
