Boat Model
Model Status: Work in Progress
The boat is the main form of transportation for the player. Our original concept with the game was to have a steampunk theme, which we scrapped as the project went on. However, we still loved the original boat design, so we kept it with small changes.

Old Boat Model Critiques:
Scaling
Didn’t have player model during first iteration - boat was too big in comparison to player model and proportions of boat were off
Textures
Textures are flat and boring - looks like a plastic toy boat
Design Changes
Want the player to be able to fish off the boat - remove section at front to be more open
New Boat Model Work in Progress
Improvements:
Better scaling
Boat is smaller and has better proportions compared to the player model
Textures
Added more detail to the model itself - will later be baked into low poly and help me when texturing
Design Changes
Removed part at the front so the boat feels more open
Changed wheel designs to look more functional
Changes Still Needed:
More detail added to the front of the boat to balance the design out
We decided to add a fish hold to the front - hull needs to stretch deeper into the water
Paddles on wheel are backwards - flip design
