Cannonballs

I made a cannonball! lol... that was hard :P

Hehe, they're just spheres, but it was good to have a glance at some of the textures avaliable and what can be done with them. Suprisingly, the Metal_Rust texture is awful, and Metal_PlateOX is much better in terms of rusty metal. I had to modify it a little, so that it was black and shiny, and didn't look like grey concrete. To do that, I just made the diffuse map, a "Mix" type, which means you can mix two textures into one. So I just took the rust looking one, and mixed it with black.

The wooden floor is Wood_Old and it seems to work nicely. I think we'll end up using that on the ship, quite a bit.

Modeling and firing some of the other types of ammo should be a bit more interesting though, the grape shot looks really odd, and the one that splits in two with a chain as well.
