Research - HMS Belfast

We decided to go to HMS Belfast for research, reference and production materials because the interior structure of the ship is very similar to a seafort. However, due to the expensive ticket price for HMS Belfast, everyone in the group chipped in and paid for a ticket that allowed me to get on the ship and take photos.
Overall, this trip provides very useful source and reference for modeling and texturing. In addition, I found a lot of interesting information regarding how a battleship operates as well as historical backgrounds of the ship during the war period, which are useful for the context of our seafort.



This is a collage I made in photoshop out of some of the pictures I took in HMS Belfast. They are very good reference for modeling as well as research material because certain aspects of a warship resembles the environment of seaforts.


Picture of a metal valve that is used to control water or gas pressure on HMS Belfast that could be placed inside or on the top of seaforts to give more details to our environment and make it more visually interesting.


Picture of ropes I took on HMS Belfast that could be used as one of the objects inside or on top of seaforts to make the environment more variable and interesting.
