I hope something similar might happen with the Honor and Glory team. In the end, despite some of the fan base becoming a bit alienated, and a very length development time, the team delivered an excellent end product that impressed everyone and all was forgiven.

In the end the accused team coughed up their models for inspection and it turned out that there was no copying, just two teams building an asset based off the same reference material that ended up looking similar. Unfortunately the accusation was made public and a very messy spat ensured. In my opinion they perhaps could have had better communication with their fan-base, and an issue involving alleged stolen models was raised against another team building similar assets.

I remember something similar happening with a Half-Life 2 mod I was following a few years back.

I don't wanna cause any dramas on this thread, and I don't wanna cause any troubles to the team so it's probably my last post on this thread. H&G decided to control informations in a way I don't like and for me the team shoot themselves in the foot To be honnest investors are certainly not interested about only the modleing that's why the team won't change their mind. In my opinion if they continue in that stubborn way the project will be ruined soon especially if they don't find investors or maybe they act that way to seduce them, to show them they can do what they have promised which I highly doubt. I don't want to wait like 3 or 4 more years, so I won't follow this project anymore cuz it confirms what I'm afraid of. Maybe the team don't want to lose money on contributions through their website once they said the modeling is done and being harassed by fans to release a tour mode, dramas are coming for sure ahha, I can understand that. That's a huge mistake because lot of people are only interrested about the modeling. They are also afraid about people who could steal their 3d models but once the final project is done they wont be able to avoid that problem. This is the "solid" blockout of the hull which would guide things like frames and provide a surface to extrude plating from.So it seems they have decided to not give us informations about their progress anymore because they don't want to release the tour mode first. Since the hull line outlines were done, I started working in June 2022 on the hull mesh proper. I opened the September 2019 files and got going. Either way, anything I did would have to utilize what I started in 2019. Initially, my idea for the Blockout was a little simpler, but I realized over the course of the work I did for Demo 401 the importance of the ship's structure in figuring out how anything goes together, so my focus expanded to the overall structural elements. Once I had finished snowballing Demo 401 in June, it was time for me to start the Alpha Blockout. I hadn't even thought about plating yet since I knew it was going to be difficult to figure out, and certainly it would have been at the time if I had not stopped working on it then. No keel, no hull mesh, or any other models. That last image is how things looked when I left it at that time. Hull lines across various dimensions including deck levels.īy September 2019, I had all the curves laid out, as seen above. I started in August 2019 by laying out hull lines based on lines plans, starting with the fore-aft frames as seen above, slices of the hull at various intervals. In my updates so far I've been very clear and open about the fact that in 2019 I had started working on a new hull but stopped, before picking it up again in the last month. Like a kid being admonished by their math teacher for only giving the answer, I'm "showing my work". There's no shortage of rumors, especially lately, and this one is particularly silly, but I'll respond to this one in part so I can show more of the process so far with the hull.

I would hope most folks are smart enough to know that's nonsense. I've heard on a grapevine that a rumor's going around claiming my recent Alpha work is just some stuff from 2019, that I'm trying to trick you all. Okay folks, time for some more talk about the hull with a little spicy drama.
