Goal: To create a realistic and interactive ship for an exhibit in the London Town museum in Annapolis, MD

This project is, by far, the most difficult and time consuming project I have ever done. The goal for this project is to create a fully functional ship with everything from movable rudders to realistic rigging. The ship itself is massive, on the upper deck, the ship has four cannons, four water pumps, and hundreds of little ropes and boards strew about. Inside the ship, there are numerous rooms and spaces including the captain's quarters, kitchen(also called the galley), crew's quarters, and the hold. Each of these areas has literaly hundreds of items that must be modeled and textured to perfect precision and must look their real life counterparts. Each of these items must also be interactive and many of them require animations. For this project, I am taking on the job of modeler, texturing artist, animator, and video editor and presentor. Here I've put up a small sampling of what I've been working on and what the exhibit is eventually going to look like.
