Alright, here’s the lowdown on my little “lioness yacht” adventure. Buckle up, it’s a bit of a ride!
So, first off, I stumbled across this name “Lioness Yacht” and it kinda stuck in my head. I was like, “That’s a cool name, I wonder what that’s all about?” Of course, the internet is your best friend, I saw some blurbs about a yacht with that name being owned by some big shot, Sir Phillip Green, and another one linked to some Russian oligarch, Alexey Mordashov. Interesting stuff, but not really what I was after.
I wanted to actually do something with it. I’m not exactly yacht-buying material, let’s be honest. So, I started thinking, how can I bring this “Lioness Yacht” idea to life, in my own way? I’m a practical kinda guy, so fancy yachts are way out of my league.
Then it hit me, I could try making a model of one! I have tinkered around with 3D modelling software before, so I figured I could give it a shot. Never done a yacht before, but hey, gotta learn somehow, right?
Here’s what I did:
- Gathered Info: Started digging around for images and blueprints of yachts. I didn’t need it to be an exact replica of the Lioness yacht (too much hassle), but I wanted a general yacht-y vibe.
- Fired up the Software: Opened up Blender, which is what I’m semi-familiar with. Messed around with basic shapes, cubes, cylinders, you know the drill.
- Started Blocking: The hardest part was getting the overall shape right. Lots of trial and error. I made a basic hull shape first. Then I added the deck, the cabin thingy (I don’t know the proper yacht terms, okay?), and some other structures.
- Added Details: This is where it got fun, but also tedious. I added windows, railings, little details here and there. I even tried to model some lounge chairs on the deck. They looked kinda janky, but whatever!
- Textured It: Textures are what make things look real. I used some basic textures for the hull, the deck, and the windows. It wasn’t perfect, but it looked alright.
- Rendered It: Finally, I hit the render button. It took a while for the computer to churn through it, but eventually, I had a decent-looking image of my “Lioness Yacht” model.
It wasn’t perfect, not by a long shot. The proportions were probably off, the details were a bit rough, and the textures weren’t amazing. But hey, I made something! It was a learning experience, and I actually had fun doing it.
What I learned:
3D modeling is harder than it looks. It takes time, patience, and a whole lotta practice. But it’s also really rewarding when you see something you created come to life, even if it’s just on a screen.
I might try printing it out using a 3D printer at some point. That’s my next goal. Then I can actually hold my little Lioness Yacht.
End Result
The final result? A kinda wonky, kinda cool 3D model of a yacht, inspired by the name “Lioness Yacht.” It’s not going to win any awards, but it’s mine, and I made it. And that’s what matters, right?
