  • After many months of communication with archives, modeling, rigging, animating, rendering, and some editing, this thing is finally done.
    This is my best attempt at modelling the 4.724" mkVIII naval gun fitted to the Royal Navy's Nelson-Class Battleships. It is based on the original Vickers drawings and a few photos, with a bit of educated guesswork where neither drawings nor photos were sufficient. I couldn't find a handbook for this specific mount so I'm still not entirely sure how all of it still works, particularly any of the dials and instruments. I think I've got a basic understanding of all of the larger mechanical functions though.
    Now to put 4 of them on the hybrid carrier.

    Modern gun for the 1920s as conceived. Using a powered rammer was seen as novel when it was designed but turned out to be absolutely critical for naval AAA guns during the war.

      @seanhughes6536  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks, and probably. They take a very long time and are expensive to do though so I wouldn't expect them often at all (this took 6 months or so including initial research, searching for and ordering manufacturer drawings, modeling, and rendering). This gun is a part of a larger full-ship project so finishing that is the top priority whenever I'm not burned out from 3D work. I will probably do quick showcases of the other guns and rangefinders on the ship in another video, but those will be short clips just showing the model details, not a full standalone animation. I do however want to make a Pom-Pom mount unrelated to this project at some point; those have enough mechanical detail to be an interesting animation

    Does the gun rammer use a telescopic shaft for transferring the rotation to the rammer mechanism?

    • @seanhughes6536
      @seanhughes6536  20 днів тому

      Yes, there is a telescopic shaft connected to the hydraulic motor and the rammer mechanism with two universal joints. This allows the rammer tray to be swiveled out of the path of the gun recoil

    • @seanhughes6536
      @seanhughes6536  28 днів тому +1

      UA-cam mostly. Everything I know about rendering and animation comes from a variety of UA-cam tutorials, mostly in blender. As for the actual mechanics of the gun, I was able to get my hands on the manufacturer drawings for it. An engineering background helps to figure out what you're looking at, but isn't strictly necessary.
