Ahoy!
I'm trying to create the whole Thousand Sunny in 3D and I'd certainly like to get YOUR, as one piece fans, opinions/ideas/critiques.
I'm done with the modeling the ship, including inside, started the colors and texturing.
Thread can be found right here (I also modeled everything inside, which can be found there)
Here, two light choices, let me know which one you like most
Choice 1)
Choice 2)
Choice 3)
astonishing would be the word for it.
choice 2 seems more vivid to me, other than that i cant spot any diferences.
I agree with Kiji 100%, it is astonishing work and the second one seems to be more aesthetically pleasing. However, if you could take a similar shot of the first one as you did of the second one, it would be much easier to compare.
Yeah I'll go with Choice 2 as well. Good job by the way.
Woha thats really great! The pictures in the ΓΆinked thread are a lot more impressive than the ones in this thread.
My fav. ones:

Question: Is there a way to actually get the 3d model or do you not share the file for it is your artwork.
I like the second one most too btw.
would it be possibly to walk around it when your done?
or will that take alot of time to create?
would be cool to explore it 
Excellent work, but you should post your work in the Arts sub-forum, again, great work!
UPDATE!
I hope you like them 
And here is a turnable, colorless( and not good looking because I had 12 hours ) animation of the Thousand Sunny
AMAZING!!! This should be included in the next one piece game
AWESOME
Would be awesome if we could take a little character (Doesn't need to be a SH or even in One Piece) and walk around the boat.
I would love it.
Whoa, how good job. Looks really goodβ¦are you gonna make 3d browser where you can check how Sunny looks?
Thanks!
depend on how Mugiwara Pirates, especially Luffy adapts to 3D world, I'm thinking an animation where all of them react.
very impressive.. thats a lot of effort for a one piece fan
Challenge's time's up! Not really satisfied me but done is done.
For 1600x1200px render please click here
*I, DEEPLY, am sorry for cutting this lovely ship 
If Oda can see this, I'm sure he'd be extremely delighted!
@Maase:

Bro, answer this shit, I'm loving your work.
whoa, THAT's a fan work?
i would think that u work for house modelling/3D game designing company or something
ps. i think above three ships, anything but #1 is fine, it's too gloomy and looks kinda poisonious
Really impressive !
I'd like to have a read only version of the Sunny 3D model (if there's any way to produce it without giving away all your hard work).
In http://forums.cgsociety.org/, you said it was your very first modeling. I really can't believe it, or you had somebody to help you, or you're in a modeling school (probably not since you said you have a full time job), or you begin it way before you put the first post in cgsociety thread.
I mean, the way you've done some modeling, like bed sheets and drapery, seems to be at a professional level. And on top of that, you can also make some good use of Photoshop for texturing ! This is really too big to believe it.
Heh, it may look very hard to believe but it is really not
I've never tried to do something in Maya before the Thousand Sunny. I learned the tools from various DVDs but never really repeat after. I'm a visual/web programmer, also flash developer, web designer, hoo, let's say I have over 6 years experience of all Adobe products. That somehow gave me the eye and ability use applications freely. That's my daily job.
And another note for me to progress on the way, this piece took my 7 days, while at the end of the challenge, I could model mini merry II in 2 hours.
If I had the time, I'd experiment on lighting which I have failed to show every element. Currently, It looks realistic but not functional for a cutaway.
But as my first 3D project, for me, if you really feel that way, I now believe that I did a good job. Because I hardly ever like my doings
Regards!
It's more understanding how you could come to that result if you're a web programmer / designer
But it's still very impressive, even if it wasn't your first modeling !
I think you would do Merry at a very fast pace now
ever considered trying to make the characters?
Oh yeah, I'll try but it might be one of those no can do stuff. Keeping their funny look AND their hair which the hair issue is the problem I think. Wherever I see a 3D Anime character, the hair is the biggest issue. Well. Like I said. I'll try, starting Luffy, of course
Either way, I'll fix the minor issues with modeling, shading and lighting. And after experiementing the characters, if I can't get the feeling they are funny enough, then I'll make a stork flying into the ship. NOT CUTAWAY version though
Why are you ignoring me while answering everybody else, menthol ;______;
Hehe, Maase, this reply was for you as well,
"Either way, I'll fix the minor issues with modeling, shading and lighting. And after experiementing the characters, if I can't get the feeling they are funny enough, then I'll make a stork flying into the ship. NOT CUTAWAY version though :D"
Sorry for being such a noob.
What does a "stork" mean?
or a seagull, doesn't really matter
Ah, got it.
That's a good idea.
Altough I would prefer a character travelling instead of having one stork, but whatever.
