Le Soleil Royal

Le Soleil Royal Breakdown

Le Soleil Royal

This past summer (2018), I studied virtual environments in a five week Architectural History course. One of the topics that I found most interesting, was the subject of "temporary architecture." For my final project, I modeled a replica of the famous French ship, Le Soleil Royal - which, though renowned for its elegance and craftsmanship, participated in only two naval battles before being completely destroyed in 1692.

This was my first 3D model and as I was still new to the medium and the software, it took me the majority of the five weeks to complete. Since then, I feel that I've learned a lot and have been hoping to find the time to go back and fix some of the topology.
