began the new Nautilus from the inside out, working from a growing set of plans. Since a primary intent of this new design is to demonstrate the effect of the spindle shape on the submarine, 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 ended up with essentially the same overlapping plates as in the first design, shown at left. | |
| The primary difference is that now the plates are individual discrete 3-D objects while before they were a bump map rendering effect. Although the new textures may need a little more work to address repetition, 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.
