Re: [bolger] Freeship vs Delftship

The biggest functional difference I have noticed is that the freeship version will print while the free level delftship will not.

I don't really know. This discussion thread seems to answer.

The reason I mention version number is that the "fbm" files created by
one version cannot be read by another version.

Yes, Free!ship V2.6, (which is distributed under a GNU license), has a
background image function which is extremely useful when modeling
existing hull shapes.

I've use background images (jpgs) of an existing boat to guide the creation of the hull shapes in Delftship, but was wondering if Freeship offers something more, perhaps what you'd get from the paid version of Delftship? And why do you specify a specific version of Freeship?

Hello Bruce,

What is the difference between the free version of Delftship and Freeship? I've use background images (jpgs) of an existing boat to guide the creation of the hull shapes in Delftship, but was wondering if Freeship offers something more, perhaps what you'd get from the paid version of Delftship? And why do you specify a specific version of Freeship?

Best Regards,
John

Anybody can make an isometric rendering of a boat. There is a
learning curve for the software, but it is not that hard. Using the
open source program called Free!Ship, version 2.6 is my choice.

I have done a lot of isometrics of Bolger boats, mostly because I want
to build boats and life is too short to be building them all in full
scale.

Here are some isometrics I did of Illinois in 2009.

These were done from the magazine article, though I would love a
chance to see the full plans and building key for Illinois. If I
could see them I would be willing to make a higher quality isometric
than the one I did in 2009.

I do not know where this should go. Is there an isometric for bolger 610. the Illinois?

is (when he was designing it for me it  was called the Chicago, my home town)
