Example Place Holder Model

I've seen this method used with a forest tutorial, they used low poly place holders to see how it looked all together without the lag of the high poly models.

I thought this would work for seeing how we basically want our model to look after we've decided on a design first.

I also thought it was a better way for two people to model different parts of the same thing.

(This is in no way shape or form a design, it's just for this example) For example;

So essentially it's like this file is like Unity and all the place holders are the assets, we take a place holder, make them in Maya (I know this is currently in Blender, Shh!) then import them back into the main file.

Whether this will actually work or whether I'm just gonna be making more work for the group I don't know, doesn't hurt to try.

How's this for a background?

Now on a more serious note;

I have been looking at different types of battleships ranging from WWII to modern day.

This is the HMS Ark Royal R07 not really what I call a battleship as it was only a light aircraft carrier as you can see from the raised deck at the front.

This is the Bismarck, a German battleship one of two largest warships built for the German Navy

This is the Yamato, a Japanese battleship, the Yamato and her sister ship Musashi were the heaviest and most powerfully armed battleships ever constructed, displacing 72,8000 tonnes at full load and armed with nine 46cm (18.1 inch) main guns.

This is battleship Iowa

This is battleship Iowa (Right) with battleship Missouri

Here is a chart of battleships of different shapes and sizes.

Now these references are more for design inspiration than practicality.

I know some are Minecraft made but they are more for like I said design purposes.

Some are Steampunk based, others are more sci-fi and as we are going for a mixture between the two hopefully this will help.

Also here is what we have as far as a project plan goes.
