Does anyone remember the fancy jpeg of a 3d merlin which rotated, and do they know where to find it if it still exists? |
I've got it, if you want it. I have all the old website files. Let me know your email address. |
Why not put it back up , sounds interesting |
It's only a small animation http://www.merlinrocket.co.uk/misc/animation.gif |
Hey this is excellent - anybody know who made it and if there's a hi-res version? |
My bro created this years ago and he says that the files are looong gone. |
Thats a shame, I will endevour to find some time to throw one together, but that may take a while as i'm in the process of moving house! |
Perhaps Tom Mac could be prevailed upon to do it again, please. But a bit bigger this time! |
How about with the ability to choose your own sail number? |
Ah, but if you do sail numbers you need to do hull colours too.... |
Now your getting into the realms of block editing in CAD. Its doable but you all need the package and know how! |
David have you found the time or inclination to have a go at this? |
I created the 3D MR a long time ago (when i had too much time on my hands) Presumably there are cad plans (autocad, or line drawn)in existance of a winder boat, would make it easier to reproduce a new (more accurate) 3D version. The old one was done by alot of guess work/by eye. from what i remember it was a bit of a pain.(gutted i cant find it...lost in the depths of an old computer somewhere!) but may be willing to have another go if there are any plans in existance. |
Tom, I have a 3D model of a 'modern Merlin' which you can have in DXF or IGES format. |
