If you're looking for the #OkeanosExplorer dive on USS Yorktown, this page has you covered! Not just for this dive, but most of them, so if you need to go back and look at stuff, it's a great resource. youtu.be/upNXEVe-w3o?...

73 years of darkness | 40 years since first light hopefully a little less time before you can explore it in subROV 😅 #Titanic #subROV

Titanic wreck, view of the well deck up to the bridge, looking aft and to port.There's a few elements missing (ropes), but it's pretty much done up to A-deck. ⚓ #indiedev #subROV #titanic #wings3D

3D model WIP of the Prometheus heater from Captain Smith's cabin, now resting on Titanic's well deck. I didn't find any blueprints or good references so I had to eyeball a few things, but overall I think it's reasonably accurate. #indiedev #subROV #3D #Titanic

UV or not UV -that is the winter of my discontent! Sometimes I'm very tempted to just use a triplanar 😅 #indiedev #subROV #3d #3dmodeling #bardPuns

3d model with an UV chart. The process is rather tedious and sometimes I wonder if should just use a triplanar shader instead.

#Titanic ‘s davit bases: single to the left, twin to the right. This is how they would be arranged on the fwd-starboard deck (not as close and with arms attached); the single davit still stands in place today. #indiedev #subROV #wreck #3d #3dmodel

A very eccentric turnaround 😁 This is part of an ingenious mechanism that allowed a twin davit's operator to select which side to use. Trivia - the handle is down as shown in the davit in exhibit at @cosiscience, but it should be up (theirs is broken) #3d #titanic #indiedev #subROV

Work on the Welin Davit is progressing faster than I expected -maybe it's because I'm working on the double 😁 -if you got the pun, congratulations... or maybe we should both be concerned 😆 #Titanic #3d #gamedev

Close-up of the #Titanic 's single-frame davit base (a Welin Quadrant Davit, to be precise). To rotate the gears, you would attach a rod to the square-shaped shaft, but there's none to be found in the wreck, so I haven't modeled it. #3d #indiedev
