Norrtelje and Express
Made for my Sthlm1925 project where I recreate the capital of Sweden as it looked like in 1925.
The sister ships S/S Norrtelje and S/S Express (from 1913 called Express I), both built in Stockholm in the year 1900. I think they are very beautiful ships. Fun fact: S/S does not stand for "steamship" but for "screw steamer", as opposed to P/S (paddle steamer).
Express was scrapped in 1961, but Norrtelje remains, no longer in service but as a restaurant in the city she was named after, Norrtälje.
This is loosley based by a 3D scan (with one million tris) made by the Swedish National Maritime And Transport Museums of a physical model of Norrtelje they have uploaded to Sketchfab, under CC Attribution license.
I’ve modeled and textured this completely from scratch, but I have reused some parts of the texture.
So this looks fairly similar to that 3D scan, but with less than 1 % of the geometry and a much smaller texture – and as an extra bonus, its two ships instead of one.
1k texture (d, s, n, i) and lod 128×128 (d, i).
Tris are 8777 each (the models are identical except the name), lod 818.
