ALT-Trek - Page 2

Hmm, her registry would seem to indicate that she belongs to a Chandley class.

XFozzboute · December 27 2011, 06:37 PM

I was wondering if anyone would figure that out.

UPDATE...
I decided to go back this month to do some work with my Alt-Tos stuff. I felt I needed to build a drydock so I’m working on one based on the design in one of Jackill’s books. The Archer is just there to have a ship in there. I’m building it a little bigger so the Enterprise I plan on making will fit since will be bigger than the other ships I’ve made.

These are all extremely nice. Out of curiosity, why "Alt"? I could easily buy these, particularly the shuttles, as additional TOS-era designs we just happened never to see onscreen.

XFozzboute · April 1 2012, 06:41 PM

Don't really remember why I started calling it Alt-Trek. I just wanted to my own take on the designs without anyone telling me how it should be done.

XFozzboute · April 2 2012, 02:29 AM

UPDATE...
Started to add the main lamps.

All the final shapes are roughed in. The one change I made is the center command area.

Started to detail one of the main lamps and did a texture test.

A roughed in idea for the top of the lamp

I love that earlier drydock type

Just came across this thread. I'm a big TOS shuttle fan and I have to admit I like what I'm seeing here. That shuttle could land on LV-426 to battle aliens. Nice work.

XFozzboute · April 5 2012, 12:54 AM

Thanks.

UPDATE...
I think the main light and guide wires are just about done. I just want to add maybe one more detail to it. Than I can get started on the support structures.

XFozzboute · April 6 2012, 01:16 AM

UPDATE...
This is the final look of the lamp. Don’t really see a need for more details since the polygons are getting a little out of hand.

The final light is in place and I’ve begun to work on an idea of how to connect the structure to the spine.

Now I’m getting an idea of how this will look.

XFozzboute · April 12 2012, 03:34 AM

UPDATE...
As usuall for me I either add too many polies or not enough. This time not enough. I’m thinking I may just start over and that’s a shame because alot of work went into this part. Or I might be able to work with what I have.

What the bottom looks like.

This is the basic concept for what it will look like inside.

I feel your pain. I hate getting a part almost completed only to notice the segmentation upon rendering.

Your stuff still looks great, and depending on the angles/closeups you plan to use this for, it may not show up.

XFozzboute · April 16 2012, 01:15 AM

UPDATE...
The ribs are finally in place.

Starting on the cross beams. This went faster then I thought it would

How it currently looks. There are a few parts that don’t need to be there anymore.

XFozzboute · April 21 2012, 03:44 AM

UPDATE...
I wasn’t sure if I was gonna do this upper room with just textures or build it out. I decided to do a very simple build out and not much more. I need to finish this part before I can move on to the rest.

XFozzboute · April 23 2012, 02:59 AM

UPDATE...
Started to work on an idea for textures on the landing bay doors. I also wanted to play around abit with unwrapping somemore.

The first two corner landing bays are pretty much done

For the bottom landing bay I had to take the inside and flip it over. Getting it to mach up wasn’t that easy.
