[PSUBS-MAILIST] 3D Submersible Simulator
Good morning fellow
enthusiasts,
After scouring the web for
resource material on submersibles, especially design and construction, I run
across the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow with PSubs.org.
J
PSubs.org and its crew of enthusiastic sub designers and builders have got
my technical juices flowing. My original intent in my search was to explore
the feasibility of creating a Realtime 3D Submersible Simulator that was as
technically accurate as possible. This is still my primary objective but now
I am contemplating designing and building my own submersible. My wife
doesn’t know about the later, yet….. HeHe…
Here is a brief rundown of my
knowledge and experience.
My name is Vern Shurtz. I am a
Professional 3D Computer Artist and president of a Digital production Studio
specializing in Technical, Architectural, and Landscape Visualizations and
interactive presentations with an extensive client list that includes
Lockheed-Martin, Sony, Disney, US Navy and Air Force to name a few. I have
worked in the 3D Industry since the early 90’s when it was in its infancy.
Prior to my career in 3D taking
off in 1995 I was a Nuclear Mechanical Operator in the US Navy serving
aboard 2 Nuclear Submarines, the USS Sunfish (SSN-649) and the USS Phoenix
(SSN-702), for a total of 6 years of underwater adventure. I also served
aboard the USS Hunley (AS-31), a submarine tender, performing Radiological
Controls duties for 2 years and was a Submarine Damage Control Wet Trainer
and Engineering Systems Instructor and Curriculum Developer for my last 3
years in the service.
I am still in the planning
stages for both projects and would like to get involved with the PSubs
organization. I couldn’t think of a more qualified group of subject matter
experts and beta testers for a submersible simulator.
My first question is what the
PSub community would like to see in a Realtime 3D Submersible Simulator? I
am planning on Submersible Design and Construction being part of the
Simulator.
Any thoughts or comments would
be appreciated.
Vern
