Rigging Tools!

To make the rigging work looking at some reference. The rigging of the ship to hold the sails and to steer the ship are quite complicated. To make it work I first positioned the rigging tools in the right places which are the same from a section of the ship to the rest. So a lot of copy and pasting was done to make this.


This image was a great help along with the one below, it shows where the main rigs are placed. Using these images I made the ships rigging places first so I can easily connect them using curves and extrude them all at one time.


I started from the front of the ship so I can work my way to the back. The rigging mounts stay the same as they do for every-sail a part from the last one so a lot of positioning was needed.


Above is a image with the mounts without the ship which can make you get lost and it surely made me get lost some times even with the ship on.


I made some more small mounting elements and starting moving towards the middle of the ship hopefully tomorrow I should be finished with the placement. I need to work faster because time is the enemy here and it is getting closer.
