Hi there. Im doing a 3D project of a HobiCat for my project of engineering mechanics and i need some help of you boys and girls. Since i'm far way from the sea and have no manuals i will like to have some pictures, manuals, sites or something that would help me take some measures. It can be any model, more info the best.

Thank you for your time and help. :wink:

Drop me a line at corey dot comstock at gmail dot com

I built a 3d model of my WAVE when I was designing seats for her. I'll shoot it over to you. What 3d modeling package are you using? The model is in 3ds MAX, but I can export her out in a variety of formats.

How dimensionally accurate do your models need to be?

Here a Hobie 16, 14, and 18 available on 3D World Club dot com http://ww.3dworldclub.com/browse.aspx?category=71

These models are visually good and close to proportionally scaled. Defiantly not production models, but good for visuals.

They have to be accurated enough to go to a factory and be built. But thats not an issue because the Hobie's are models that i have to work, test and improve - thats my project. Thanks for the help and i hope i get more info or 3D parts from you boys and girls.

Dont forget my email: [email protected]

Those are pretty nice models. Look like a pretty good resolution. All poly's though. Splines/nurbs would be better.
