Broadside Demo Reel

[DCDigitalStudios]

Those are damn nice 3D models! Hats off to you!

[Nelsonwmj]

Ship's bow does seem to sit a little too low in the water...

[TheHopparoo]

Look at some real photos I made of the dutch reconstructed 17th century East Indiaman Batavia under sail near Sydney in 2000. See my bataviaphotos web site , it shows a similar ship in real action. ... Great animation anyway .. congratulations ! Cheers: Jaap Roskam - Australia

[martinwettig]

really really good ship model, and the rendering is also very well!

they just seem to have either a very, very heavy figurehead or a tough hand brake action...

[MrRanjank]

incredible animation,

[MrErickArend]

why isn't there a game like this!

[CaliDzrtrat]

@MrErickArend they are making this game for the xbox 360 ps3 and PC

[MrErickArend]

@CaliDzrtrat  what's the name of that game?

[CaliDzrtrat]

@MrErickArend Age of pirates 2 the golden age.. its from rockstar so its bound to be good it just has similar graphics and gameplay

[vanzan102]

@MrErickArend napoleon total war perhaps?

[MrErickArend]

@vanzan102 i already have that one:P but i mean that you can really walk one you're own private fleet. (or a single ship) like age of pirates

[vanzan102]

@MrErickArend u should search google for something like that

[poodlemeister22314]

@MrErickArend lmao, check out Empire Total War xD

[Descalabro]

@MrErickArend There are some games, though not quite like this: Empire Total War, East India Company and Imperial Glory

[MrErickArend]

@Descalabro i have played imperial glory and empire total war:P

[7thgradeviolin]

looks like the flying dutchman probably same type of ship

[tchenku]

Your courses should be sheeted onto the ship and not into the ocean, hehe. It looks like there are invisible yards under the water.

those guys are severely down by the head.. either the masts are to be carried away at any moment or their masters/bosuns need need to rethink their stowing. :P

Nice modeling though

[petradog409]

this is an incredible animation. I was wondering if you used any live motion picture to integrate into this video?

[welshpete12]

I'm sorry I have not replied to your comment earlier , I have been out of the country on a yacht delivery and I only got back last night. In all my years at sea I have never seen this . But I do think there is some confusion here with what is known as relative wind .

[SargeantSloth]

now where is the HD version?

[waversack]

what's the music used?

[youdoc]

The music in both of our demos was created in SoundTrack (FCS 2) by one of our animators. All the music that you will hear in the film itself though, is going to be completely original, composed specifically for Broadside.

[BVargas78]

looks similar to empire total war! (better detail though)

[LutzDerLurch]

Hi! I'm afraid in your (otherwise brilliant) animation the Ships dipping far too deep into the water with the bow.

[SargeantSloth]

Not when the ship is sinking from the front.

[LutzDerLurch]

LOL .. Then I'd stop sailing and start repairs ^^

[welshpete12]

This is very interesting , but you have made a elementary mistake . Flags on sailing ships fly aft not forward. See any film of one and you will see this.

[youdoc]

Actually, the speed of 17th century ships was very much determined by the wind, and when that is the case, the ship's flags will often be pointed in the same direction as the sails. For reference, you can look at 17th century paintings of ships at sea, or watch clips from "Master and Commander" and "Pirates of the Caribbean."

[EdwardACS]

@youdoc Elementary syllogism: "In what direction the wind must go in relation to a sail ship in order to enable the ship to move?" To forwards, at any degree between 0º and 180º. "Thus, all the sails would've got to fly at some point forwards to make the ship sail, what will make any thing hanging on to her fly also at some point forwards." Logic?

[SargeantSloth]

Physics says if the wind is blowing one way hard enough, the flag also point that way.

although with the size of that sale and the distance to the flag, I think the flag wouldn't be catching that much wind. The sail would be blocking a large portion of it and causing the flag to be more turbulent.

[InnSewerAnts]

@welshpete12 So much for Hollywood, to have the flags fly towards the aft you'd need a headwind, useless for getting anywhere in a sailing ship. Flags fly whichever way wind pushes them, 17th century sailing ships were not immune to physics.

[ARMOROID5000]

This is an awsome bit of video.

It's one thing to see pictures and schematics in books but quite a wonderful new animal to see these great ships in this fly by depiction.

Thank you so much for posting this!!

[SWmodel29]

I hope they make also Dutch Fluyt merchant ships.

[Ruudeke]

Nice! when is the full project finished?

[motormonkeyNL]

Not a single ship in the Dutch navy was build in russia. The dutch build the most advanced ships of their day.

[SWmodel29]

Yep its a "Pinnace" ship the Dutch made bigger versions later of the Pinnace, the normal size version was made by the French i think but i am not sure.

Then this is a bigger version so its Dutch.

[SWmodel29]

I found out that its not French its made in England and Netherlands but the Dutch build it first so i think its a Dutch design.

[motormonkeyNL]

Dutch ships where build in Holland.

[SWmodel29]

And in other provinces ;)

[Dmcman1985]

If this is a demo for an actual game, any clue as to when it will be released because this is awesome.

[HalfKaztBoy]

Don't you ever read the video discriptions?

They don't put it there for nothing.

[Chichanpwns]

lol they so weren't the korean turtle ships were pure ownage

The british crusers sunk the spanish armada even though they were out numbered and out gunned

and none of this could have happend without china''s invention of gunpowder

[mystaffy66]

Just remenber if it wasn't for the bad weather the spanish armada would destroy the english in sea battle. Spanish lost large amount of ships due to stormy sea.

[premiumtap]

Beautiful! The Dutch were true masters of the seven sea's.

[motormonkeyNL]

thats a dutch ship.

[draysunburst]

a dutchie if I ever seen one

[gertrude90]

its russian btw

[draysunburst]

really?

[draysunburst]

It can't be she's flying dutch colours and that's New Amsterdam!

[gertrude90]

its a ship flying under dutch colours but its russian design and built ;)from around the 1600's

[SWmodel29]

Its a "Pinnace" ship the Dutch made a bigger version of the Pinnace and they used them as raiding vessels against pirates in the carribean sea.

[keys201]

I like 0:44 view in the video of the ship looking towards to the back of the ship towards the ship's gally.

[rikkantio]

good showreel,

just one important thing.

the boat is sailing with the wind in the back, but the flags are totally opposite against the wind. it looks a little weird.

for the rest, good job!

[SWmodel29]

ehm the wind in the back means also that the flags are blown forward

[CAP381470]

impressive

5 stars

[Zwerchhau]

If they're running doesn't their spanker need to be hauled to leeward more?

[ppitm]

Yeah, but animating a lanteen sail must be a nightmare, so give them a break. :D

[Chichanpwns]

more like impossible lol

[javierp100]

exelente demo, buena imuminacion y buenos efectos de tela y agua.

[RVTRichie]

Five stars***** Amazing video On The Best Sea Battlers The Dutch Royal Navy. I would like to see a video on -

Michiel Adriaenszoon De Ruyter Dutch Naval hero! His ship De Zeven Provincien

Rock On :)
