Creating Titanic Spaces with 'Zero' Evidence

[@Shipwright1918]

One nice thing about Harland and Wolff, they essentially built the same ship over and over again. I'll say it once and I'll probably say it again, you lads are awesome.

[@Kami4Forever]

Keep this up guys! Don't succumb to the time pressure everybody is giving you! I am supporting you guys no matter how long it takes, the value you add by doing it in the max detail and accuracy possible is priceless.

[@timonsolus]

I really hope that you can license out your final Titanic 3D model to museums and other educational institutions after the game is released. Too much effort has gone into it for it to be limited to the shelf life of a game. I honestly doubt whether even the Chinese full size non-working replica of Titanic has gone to the same level of research that your team has, and that’s a multi-million dollar project. (In fact, I hope you are safeguarding your data well, the Chinese would probably love to hack into it and steal your research for themselves.)

[@mattc2094]

100% agree tim... these guys are putting monumental effort to achieve historical accuracy, I think licencing it to educational institutions is a good idea... especially museums... I suspect they have has difficulty finding investors because from a 'game selling' commercial point of view, that level of detail isn't necessary.

[@-brianflix-6292]

That last part sounds a little... the use of "The Chinese."

...and THATS why I really can't wait for your game to come out. It'll be the closest thing to being on Titanic in 1912.

[@TinyTroglodyte]

And how did we get it so accurate? Well we did do a small amount of time travel...

[@cbcdesign001]

Interesting Matt. By the time you get the funding and eventually release this game I figure VR will have advanced to the point where it can really do justice to all your hard work.

[@Khloe_dancer_model]

Ohhh,in VR will be MINDBLOWING!!😮❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kitsunemetal]

Wow that is impressive how you are able to recreate the Titanic just by reserching photos of the ships.

[@TheRealLink]

Great effort to thoroughly recreate what was lost. So excited to see the final product.

[@andrewchung2940]

This reminds of me how restorations/recreation process of historical artifacts and architecture works, or at least is supposed to work, in Korea (and I'm assuming many other countries). Korea, despite having over 3000 years of history, has very little records, artifacts, and buildings surviving anytime before the 1400s, mostly because of the numerous invasions and wars. As a result, few movies and TV dramas based on those ancient eras have an unfortunate tendency to make a lot of things up. But when it comes to serious recreations such as in virtual reality or actual restorations (though not always successful), historians would look to any scant clues found in artifacts, artworks, and surviving literature and records from the exact era. Even if there are not very many records, archeological evidence would either validate or provide additional information that wouldn't be in writing. Often, they would mention important details in passing or contain visual references that give an insight into life during that time. If that is not enough, then the historians would look to the corresponding architecture, art, and records from the neighboring countries from China and Japan especially because cultural movement often moved from China to Korea to Japan. Even if China and Japan have very differing architectures, looking into what they have can give us a clue of how the cultural exchange happened and allow us to extrapolate what our version may have looked like. While there is only so much this process can take us especially when we are talking about pre-1400s, this is perhaps the best way to hunt for any kernel of information and pass that onto the next generation. I do wish however that our restoration teams would be as exacting as you good folks in Titanic Honor and Glory are...

[@elit2175]

I feel like Matt has come such a long way with his presentation and speaking on the videos. I remember early on he was much more reserved and meek. Now, he’s one of my favorite team members to listen to. He’s a wealth of knowledge.

[@Hiro_Trevelyan]

You're doing an amazing job, I can't wait to play it

[@mattc2094]

Very impressive Matt... "hats off" to your commitment to historical accuracy. I and I'm sure others really enjoyed hearing about your process for deducing design elements from a range of sources

[@ThornBjorn]

This video series keeps on getting better and more interesting! Great job! I noticed the lamp that switches sides around 5:05! Weird!

[@Legitcar117]

ThornBjorn two different photos of the same space.

[@ThornBjorn]

Yeah i know. Im guessing the photographer only had one lamp available to him and his plan was to splice the tho photos into one photo.

[@Legitcar117]

[@Oakleaf700]

Amazing! Always wanted to knowhow those mechanical horses worked.....and you found footage! 0:44

[@fortress1133]

I can't wait to see this. I have been infatuated with Titanic since I was a kid. To be able to use VR to go back in time and actually see her as she was because of all the detail you have put into making this will be an amazing experience. Congratulations on "Making it count."

[@excalibur3710]

Its pretty cool that all this attention to detail is being put into this.

[@cliff9685]

Matt is so well spoken and knowledgeable. He is a wonderful face for Titanic Honor and Glory. Always a pleasure and my respect and admiration continues to grow through these videos.

I have the outmost respect for you guys for making this game so accurate and perfect to how our beloved ship was, as humanly possible.

[@HighFuel90]

This is fantastic. Been following this for years. This video really hit home with me. I want to open every door, every service hatch etc whenever I think of ships like this or the queen mary. Cant wait to play the finished game!

[@crixxxxxxxxx]

How do you make color choices for the upholstery and carpeting with only black and white photos?

[@Milner62]

Black and white photos of the time were blue sensitive. With this in hand you can make a color pallet and convert the color pallet into a blue sensitive black and white version and match the tint. A guy on a ocean liner group im on did this with the white star buff for the funnels.

[@rothgamez]

@@Milner62 That's really cool, I didn't know that. Thanks for the info

[@shuichiboy]

The wreck site also has clues. They've been able to determine that the 1st class smoking room was done in red, rather than Olympic's green, by examining the remains of the tiles. They're pretty badly degraded, but still have a bit of pigment in them.

[@falco5150]

Fortunately, there is a wealth of knowledge available on the ship and it's design. From engineering drawings, to first hand accounts and testimony, to photos and the wreckage site - historians and enthusiasts alike have a pretty good idea. I am sure it's not 100% - but it's pretty damn close.

@@Full_Otto_Bismarck sure but what would happen to history if you change something. This would be the Most dangerous thing about timetraveling.

[@Full_Otto_Bismarck]

@@wiskimike I have actually thought about that and it's one of the reasons I don't think it's possible to travel backwards through time, I think the Titanic disaster is one of several things that would be changed if it was possible. In any case I admit I was just being cheeky, as it seems all too often those of us who are captivated by the Olympic class liners and RMS Titanic specifically can all lose sight of what a terrible tragedy it was.

[@wiskimike]

@@Full_Otto_Bismarck i also think that it is Not possible to travel in time. But i also guess Its better. The ones who can effort it would use it for their advantages. And yes. Titanic was a big disaster. So many lifes were lost that night. And on the other hand Its such a facinating Story. The biggest, modern ship at the time sunk at Its first voyage - nobody could make a better Story. But its important that this tragedy has changed so much. The icepatrol. Enough lifeboats for everyone, even much safer ships as Titanic allready was etc.

That's why this game will be unique, because of accuracy, i was thinking it would be so nice if you do a game with other ocean liners could be in volume, Vol . 1 : Victorian Liners(1850-1902) , Vol.2 : Edwardian Liners (1903-1914) and Vol.3 Vintage Liners(1921-1939), i keep imagining how it would be to tour by the interiors of the Imperator or Aquitania in Unreal Engine 4

[@stianberg5645]

If other game producers had half the attention to detail as you guys, I would still be a gamer. I think this game will start something great outside of the sphere of titanic-enthusiasts. Oh and that sphere will probably expand with the release of this game

The texturing work you guys did is fucking amazing, do you guys use substance painter or something similar? physically based rendering? Great work, keep it up.

[@bigsai4472]

I have a few questions for Titanic: Honor and Glory. Will the Titanic’s bridge, on the outside, include the bell? I’m not sure if I’m correct or not, but I heard that there was a bell, near the roof of the bridge, on the front, over the center window. Will it be included? Also, will the engine telegraphs, on the bridge, be color coded for main engines, maneuvering, emergency, and docking? One more, will the Titanic include the engine telegraphs, emergency and main engines, in the engine room?

« Not well documented »... There were some books about the titanic at the time, some of them even had plans for the whole ship 8ncluding the machine room. But a floor plan and an actual photography aren’t the same at all, I agree with that.

[@SlidTossedPissed]

Id love to ask a few questions. Id like to apologize for their redundant nature, as Im sure many others have asked. 1. How did you find the most detailed and or comprehensive set of Plans involving her construction? (Im going to guess that you found a FULL original set of Build Plans for Titanic from Mr Sauder.) 2. How does it feel.. to be in the same space.. as Ken Marshall? He was around with Robert Ballard when they first found Her in '85. I was.. only 8 at the time, but the imagery.. of that Four Masted Steamer... is a HECK of a sight.

[@matthewdiebold8913]

I'm super excited for this! The Titanic has been one of my favorite subjects since I was young. Now I have a question, I know your making the entire ship. I've seen the boiler room in the demo, but I was wondering what about the rest of the engine? Will we see the entire thing? I am really interested in seeing the large room with the pistons. (I believe their pistons... could be wrong :P) One of my favorite shots in the 90's movie was seeing the pistons in action with all the crew running around to try and put the ship in reverse. I'm not asking for working pistons, but will that part of the engine be included?

There is a roumor spreading that on the maiden voyage of Titanic the Honor & Glory clock on the Grand Staircase was not installed yet. Instead they hung a mirror there. As we all see, you did not follow this story. Did you heard about that and if yes, why you think it's untrue? Thank you! 🙋

[@DerpyPossum]

According to the story/testimony, the mirror was only placed there temporarily for the delivery trip from Belfast to Southampton. In all likelihood, the clock was installed before the maiden voyage while docked in Southampton.

I really hope you document and archive your tons of research as well, for future generations to use. My main interest is 1770s british army. There are books out there, that are filled with details, but de facto useless, as they dont show the research, sources etc. Others are well filled with footnotes, bibliography, references etc., and are absolutely awesome and super valuable research. I'd hate so see the game come out as excellent rendition of titanic, yet 10, 15, 20 years from now, nobody could verify any research going into this, as there is no references, no sources given...maybe, after the game, turn this giant reasearch blob into a book, and publish?

Before James Cameron made his Titanic movie, he did allot of research and even dived down to the wreckage, so that he could build an accurate replica for the movie. However, he did not build the entire ship, just half of it. It costs more to make the Titanic movie then it did to build the ship in 1912
