AntoniaTiger: Could you tell me a bit more? Fixing the colors of the ropes is easy, this was just a fast procedural shader slammed on, but there probably will be more fundamental flaws. I'm trying to build a 15th century craweel, something like the Nina or Pinta. For instance, I don't know whether those ships already had a steering wheel (sorry, I don't know the English word for it) or that they still used a tiller. It's very hard to get detailed information on that period. There's loads of information on the great ships of the line of the Nelson era, but building the HMS Victory goes beyond my skills - and patience! Besides, the elaborate sterns of those ships, not to mention the 80 or so guns and gunports, would play havoc with the polygon count. I'm not going for complete historical accuracy. But if you know a few facts about these ships - I'd love to know more about the rigging, I'm only guessing right now - please tell me.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
