Raft “HANDLE WITH CARE”

A Level

This model of raft has been done for leisure sailings in Virtual Sailor NG. I wanted something new and rather unusual in VSNG and I wanted to model a rather detailed object with a special atmosphere. It doesn’t mean to be taken for serious sailing simulations, however I hope you’ll use it with interest and fun, as much as I have had for building it.

–Features:–
– Model to be used in Virtual Sailor NG only. Must not be used or converted for other simulator, game, software or use without dully written permission from the original author.
– Fully detailed and accurate 3D model.
– Functionning compass instrument.
– Textures, meshes and materials designed for high visual realism and optimized for the Virtual Sailor NG graphic engine.
– Configuration files for realistic dynamic behaviour, considering some simulator restrictions.
– Flag follows the wind direction.
– Source lights to be activated from the lights panel (L key) for switching the brass lantern hung under the opening of the main crate.
– Anchor lights to activate the top mast anchor lantern light and the frying pan’s fire.
– Extensive bump mapping and reflection effects through the entire model.
– Advanced graphics and visual realism.

DO NOT tick on Render Double Sided on graphic options of VSNG.

– Elements.cfg created for a better dynamic behaviour. Max speed 3.1kts.
– Reflexion and bump-mapping effects added.
