S.S. CORREGIDOR in 3D

[Kathryna Beatrice]

hello everyone! i am kathryna- and i opened this account in hopes of participating in the s.s. corregidor thread. i am making a 3D model of the ship as part of a project that aims to digitally recreate pre-war manila (down to some of the passenger fleet), and with what i am reading, possibly recreate the events thatat lead to the sinking and create a real-time animation (though my experience is only in modelling, not animating) of the events of that midnight.

i did create preliminary renderings of the sinking before doing deeper research- they are clearly inaccurate because of my then-lack of knowledge.

i hope i can learn more or maybe even be of help in some things too~!

That is a really cool rendering. Can't wait to see the completed project. I've been reading a lot of books on POW life after the fall of Corregidor, but no mention of the SS Corregidor; I'll let you know if I find any mentions.

Kathryna,

That's a really nice rendering. We have a fascination with the SS Corregidor here, and I have created a book which gathers the facts - and some speculation - about it in one place.

Have a look here: paulwhitman.com/details/ssCorregidor/ssCorregidor.html

I do not wish to nitpick your drawings (for they are a work of artistry), the night view perhaps has too many lights showing on the coast and on Corregidor itself. indeed, I might envisage the scene as being reversed, with the vessel travelling from left to right. I might be able to find a photo of Corregidor taken from that direction. Write me at paul at whitman dot com dot au

hello hello @exo!!
yes these were indeed preliminary- and i created these before i read deeper into the subject. by the time i posted it here, i already knew that this was already quite inaccurate~

"the night view perhaps has too many lights showing on the coast and on Corregidor itself"

when i did this, i thought that the city of manila would be visible -! and if this refers to the ship, i would assume that people turned lights on after the ship hit the mine ("what just happened?"), but the lights slowly dim to red (especially after the explosion, in that case it dims further until the water gets to the generators <in which case they start going out entirely

i am also creating new renderings (here is my new positioning based on all the new things i have read):

i will now be taking this to the main thread, thank you for approving my account too!
