The New Enterprise in 3D! ... NOW FINISHED (threads merged)

[MadMan1701A]

That's a fantastic job MadMan. It is probably close to how the real ship looks. The only thing I notice, is that the "air intake" looking things where the pylons connect to the nacelles look too wide. In the image of the real Enterprise, they look like more of a rounded point. Also, the shame of your bridge is slightly inaccurate when comparing it with the toy.

However, these are just minor nitpicks.

Yep, I agree with both of those comments.

The intake things, I really had a hard time getting them to line up at all, so I was happy they turned out as well as they did.

The bridge, if the toy is accurate, looks like that area is much narrower than I have made it, but I didn't want to re-built that entire portion after the new pics came out. If I ever re-build this, it will be after I have some very accurate blueprints to work from. I think this model will suffice for quite a while, though.

OK... Now for something totally different!

Hopefully, it's recognizable as the Narada.

Pinecone.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Pinecone.

Here's an update... I hope it will look more formidable once I put some textures on it. I'm not going to do a whole lot of detail, since I plan to use it mainly for distance shots.

Madman1701A...

Such a beautiful mesh is WAY too tempting for an old compositor like myself, so here is my tribute to your work, with a piece of your work in it.

That's awesome! Thanks for posting that.

[GothTrek]

It was my pleasure.

 

[MadMan1701A]

OK, I did some more work on the Narada...

I'm going to add in a bunch of glowy lights, and some spotlights and things, all different colors.

I know it doesn't look quite like what we see in the movie, but I'm not quite sure how to build it, otherwise.

OK, some more images of this UGLY thing...

Going to make a few wallpaper images now.

And here it is.

Beautiful work MM, as always!

Sure it does. Spock looks at it when he stares at the sun.

Right.

Say, number #1 thanks for the great new wallpapers, and #2, have you tried the original angle yet? That view with the new shuttle approaching?

Great work guys!
Do you think those "chin pieces" on the nacelles will be there at the end of the movie? They have just seemed to me, since the first reveal of the ship, to be the kind of add-on tom-foolery that you would do to indicate that this is a ship in an alternate timeline.

Like this?

That's pretty close.

I think that they might be. It would look a little odd with the parts up top, but not below. It the change the engines, I would think they would change them almost totally.

Perfect! Thanks for the trouble. Those "blue stripes" back along the nacelles actually protrude a little, don't they? From another aft view I thought they looked flush.
