But now I've finally figured out a new design for the factory that should work:
- Letting the trolley track return to the start after the product has been unloaded,
- On that note, a way to pack and distribute the product through either train line or ship,
Because of this new design I think I've made a lot more work for myself but I think it's worth it.
But now I have to model a ship as well to park in the river, oh yeah, I'm having a river as well, and a train line with a few tracks and that probably means trains as well so I'll have to design a slightly futuristic train and carriages as well.....YAY!!??
After checking out reference image this is me deciding to add more to the scene, river / towers /
rail tracks / gantry cranes / less compact design
Trying to figure out how to incorporate everything I wanted into one design, I think the answer in the end may be glass.... lots of lovely glass!!
So I've learnt a few things about ships though; the type of ship I'm going to model will be a Feeder Ship, the kind that transports stuff to bigger ships to take it world wide. So I thought that it would fit well in a wide made made river/canal.
Beam means width of the ship.
Draught / draft means how much of the ship is below water.
This ship is:
100.6m long
18.2m wide
26.8m tall from bottom to top:
20m above water......
Now, back to AutoCAD to figure out all the dimensions of this metal mess of creation....
Trying to work of the scales of the ships, lorries and rough human sizes but without knowing exactly what the factory produces it's quite hard. More sketches are needed I think...
Oooh and to finish the shot list, that my need the directions to be changed slightly, but not too much:
"Location to fit story, not story to work around location...."
