Caique of the Sultan Arab Turkish WarShip XVI century 3D model

This War Ship, Caique or Gulet in English, is an in-scale reproduction of the Sultan's Caique, based on historic plans issued from the Genie Maritime Francais on 1861.The ship is similar to the one present at the famous Lepanto battle, a fight that put an end, on year 1571, to the Turk-Arab supremacy in the Mediterranean sea.Overall lenght is about 43.2m, while floating one is 31.5m.The Model shows the double arrangement, with rows and sails.The Model has been drawn using Blender 2.92; renderings have been made using both Evee and Cycles.The drawing includes a simple sea/sky background.The Blender file totalizes 65313 Verts and 64997 Faces.Its dimensions are, in non-compressed form, 11.8Mb and an additional 10.5 Mb for the 36 texture images/reference drawings. Some texture image is from CGtexture site.

In the compressed format the blender file totalizes 4.195Mb only (13.573Mb including textures).

The Obj file has been directly exported from Blender then, due to limits of recent blenders obj exporter, reload of relevant textures is not automathically granted.

Concerning Animation each side-line of rows consists in linked objects that can be directly animated toghether: to animate a row-line it is sufficient to select a full row-line, right or left, then set the pivot point as 'Global' with 'Individual Origin' and start to add animation steps. That is sufficient as each single row-origin is already positioned in its relevant pin and the linked selected objects will move toghether.
