HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum
In association with PiratesAhoy! and The Unicorn Preservation Society we are proud to present the HMS Unicorn Virtual Museum project. Our goal with this project is to create an interactive and ‘living’ ship that can be explored using VR devices such as the Google Cardboard, Saumsung GearVR, Oculus Rift, and more. We also plan to build a web front version for browsers as well for those without a VR device.
The model for the HMS Unicorn is being built in-house by our very talented modeler Christian Tornholm-Lehn for PiratesAhoy! for both the VR Museum project as well as the project Hearts Of Oak: Conquest of the Seas. Due to the detail of the model needed for both a museum quality replica and use for gaming it will be one of the most accurate 3d ship models made to date. Because the real HMS Unicorn is ‘in ordinary’, meaning it has a house over the deck and does not have rigging, we are using the sister ship HMS Trincomalee as the base of the rigging portion. Both are Leda class ships, with minor variations in design so the rigging should be extremely similar. Planned Builds:

Progress Report, Captains!
The HMS Unicorn model is almost complete and has been added to a new project made for Windows for everyone to take a look at. It features a couple of fun little interactive items (2 hidden items and an undocumented keyboard input). You can download it and give it a try, though it is best to have a bit of a more modern machine as this project has not been optimized with any LOD or occlusion culling as of yet. Download Link We are looking for any feedback that can be given! Screenshots |

The Unicorn and the Trincomalee are both Leda class Frigates, and as such are very similar. The stern galleries are one of the major differences as seen in the photo vs the model, plus there are several things done to the Unicorn that the Trincomalee did not have due to later construction methods of the class. I am hoping to get a character model into the build soon to give some scale to the level. It is deceiving how big/small things look without something to gauge it with. We are hoping to get some more small detail items in soon to make it look a bit more 'lived in' instead of the stark appearance it currently has.

I've been on the Trincomalee quite a few times as she is situated in the very location I used to attend quarterly meetings.
