Heya from the UK

[doctorwhoseason222]

I make 3d models for people online, for different games and videos, etc- and i figured i was quite decent at making ships- and now its become a pasttime of mine to model them. I would love to try make them out of wood, or learn tips on how to make my models better-as a matter of fact, how do i make them nice wreaths on the outside of some older ship's gunports?

For modeling ornamental details like the gunport wreaths on older galleons or Ships of the Line, the cleanest approach is to sculpt a single modular wreath in ZBrush or Blender using a curve deformer along a circular path, bake the high-poly detail down to normal maps, and instance it across all ports to keep draw calls low. .
