Pirates of the Caribbean game ship model 3D model 3D model

The following remarks apply to the FBX version of the model only: Pros: + Model is decent with an OK amount of detail. Cons: - The entire model is baked down into one single mesh/object (1.6 million polys). In order to manipulate individual parts, the buyer would have to cut up the mesh. (At a quick glance, the Blender file does not appear to have this problem; but I don't use Blender.) - Some aspects of the model are somewhat less than realistic, for example, the ship has a steering wheel but no rudder that I can discern; there are canons balls loose on the decks (others are kept in crates which is IMO more realistic to prevent them from rolling around deck); and there are oil lanterns the look of which seems a bit anachronistic to me. - No textures were included with the download with any file format; when contacted, the creator supplied the textures separately. - The textures are apparently 1K "free" textures from textures.com which makes the repetition of patterns very obvious on some parts of the mesh (you can even see it on the preview renders if you look carefully). - Some textures were properly linked to materials, most required re-linking manually. I cannot really recommend this model to people who do not use Blender; however, because CGTrader only gives me a choice between "positive" and "negative" with nothing in between and because I got the model at a discount (I couldn't recommend it at full price), I'll give the model a by-the-skin-of-its-teeth thumbs-up. For a more solid recommendation, the creator would have to give the model, the textures, and in particular the FBX version some more love.
