Container Ship Crash – Port Constanţa

A crush in the port of Constanta, Romania in March 2010.
Video Rating: 4 / 5

I’ve only recently started playing EVE Online and found myself being fascinated by those enormous spaceships. Thanks to a great piece of software called TriExporter, I was able to import these models into Maya and decided to render some Amarr ships as “miniatures” ;) For those not familiar with the metric system: 1 meter equals about 1 yard. 1 km equals about 0.6 miles. I may not have gotten all the colors right since I’m just beginning to play (and loving it btw) and won’t encounter most of these ships until a few months in. Sadly, some of the textures that come with the game are a little low in terms of resolution (especially for the avatar) but I did my best to cover that up… Some of the shaders could use improvement but since this is just a quick set-up, and apart from the occasional flickering, it looks good enough for now. Software: TriExporter, Photoshop, Maya, After Effects Music: Arboretum by Max Richter Models and Textures: CCP Games Inspired by TakeBackTheWorld (HL2 engine) and arkorum (Crysis engine), thanks!

Container ship flexing in rough weather

Here you can see views from deck and also from the inside of the ship of the ship flexing in heavy seas.

This amazing free Ship Simulator game (by PlanetInAction.com) lets you take the helm of several kinds of ships including a container ship, fuel ship, the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship, and even an airship! What’s really amazing is the realism and visual effects and sound effects are all based on the free Google Earth visualization platform and it all runs in your browser.
