The merchant ship was close to land and ready to dock with the port. All of a sudden, the pirate ship came up and sank it. However, the British Navy patrol was on watch and saw the whole attack. The pirates are now trying to flee the scene without even being able to loot and plunder their poor victim.

There were two solutions. Erik selected all non-planar polygons and then tripled them. The resulting triangles were planar and rendered fine. Mike just adjusted his textures and turned on double-sided polygons. Both sets of sails were created differently so different solutions were used to fix them. Patrick had problems while Boolean subtracting. To fix this, he had to do it several times to get the right result that he was looking for. He also had trouble with textures rotating when he tilted his objects in modeler. To fix this, he did all of his modeling and texturing and then did any transformations (rotations and translations) in layout. This preserved the texture coordinates and solved the problem. Tyler claims that some of Lightwave’s tools are not intuitive. To solve this, he had to think on a more basic level. He had to build his objects 1 piece at a time and focus on small parts one at a time. Once everything was together, the end result was what he had envisioned. He used many tutorials to help understand why the tools worked the way they did.
