After 2 years in the making, she is finally complete! Modeling, Texturing , UV Mapping and researching this project took more than 250 hours, My original plan was to have her sporting a full interior, but I quickly realized that I had bitten off much more than I could chew, and decided to call it after the exterior was complete.
Smit Panther is in my opinion the best looking tug in service with her appealing lines and a strong sense of purpose. I am glad that tugs have not become total circular bathtubs yet! She was textured to look well used and in service as with most of my vessels.
