U.S.S. Indomitable (A Star Trek Ship WIP)
Arik_the_Red:
This is coming along awesomely. I appreciate much your sharing of pointers and techniques.
At first I was a bit skeptical about the look of crafts in the new Star Trek movie (before seeing it on screen), but as I watched the beginning, with the ship commanded by Pike (I forget the ship's name) I immediately changed my mind. I think this "Indomitable" style would really look great modified that way, and given the warp nacelles from the new movie's Enterprise. I have always been partial to the look of the glowing orange-red energy at the front of the original series ship nacelles.
Olias:
Thanks guys. :)
Arik: I remember seeing some stills of the re-imagined Enterprise before the 2009 movie came out and thinking, "God, that looks awful." They certainly didn't do it justice, it looked amazing in the movie. That may well be my next project.
What I liked about the Original Series Enterprise, the movie refit and "1701-A", and the 2009 reimagined Enterprise is they don't go hog wild with glowy crap, as they started to do from The Next Generation on. They seem more believable somehow, the style was distinctly different.
Meep: In most cases, they are "stuck on" - separate meshes intersecting each other to look connected.
daniel99:
Nice one. Also try some photorealistic renders. That would look even better then the movie. ;)
TheBlackHole:
And if you need textures, I can make some pretty good greebly-looking diffuse/bump/specular maps. But they'd probably fit better for a Star Destroyer or the Death Star than the Indomitable.
KeeCoyote:
what you want is the aztec pattern. This the way they do it wth photoshop and maya. there maybe way to do it with some other programs. like anim8or and psp http://www.meshweaver.com/frames/tutorials/aztec.htm
