Fishing trawler V2

Tori asked me to re-texture the fishing boat (the old boat: http://advanimclass2014.blogspot.com/2014/01/blog-post_28.html), so this is what I came up with.
I tried to do it kind of quickly so I could move on to other textures/vfx, so it's a little sloppy in places.
Let me know if anything should be changed/fixed!

Over the weekend I finished the blast/smoke effects for the cannon. I did some quick animation to show it off:

Here is what it looks like rendered (the smoke should be more transparent when it isn't against a black background):

Pirate Ship WIP

Here is some work in progress images. I'm still trying to texture it (any help is welcome).
The sails are still being done. I will add them in later.


needs lots of props (canons, wheels. etc)

Updates: Harison helped me with UV Mapping and here is the new version
