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

[MadMan1701A]

I'm not sure if the new ship has that int he same place, because there are windows there, on the saucer, now.

I would add the gangway, even if the movie doesn't have it on the model. It's one of those big functional details that makes perfect sense and adds some realism to the ship, as well as the very nature of the saucer itself.

True, but there is still the issue of windows being right there.

Well, on the port side, remove the windows where the gangway would be, and you're all set.

Do I need to paypal your site? Is that what you're holding out for?

 

[MadMan1701A]

?

Nah.

I am thinking about building version 4, with more detail. My wife would probably kill me, though.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Started Texturing this thing...

I think it's coming along well.

 

[Vance]

Heh, in the case above, it actually SHOULD be numbered 01 thru 09 for the hatches. Shrink the font for them, though, as it makes the hatch numbers look more like the bases' nomenclature.

(Did you do hangar guide lights on the Enterprise and Kelvin? You'll need those for these hatches too...)

Actually, both of my ships don't have guide lights.

I'm going to have glowing lights inside the hatches, though.

I see what you mean about the numbering. I'll correct that.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Here's how far I've gotten...

Going to take a break for a bit. I think I am burning myself out.

 

[Vance]

There we go. Still think you need the guide-lights, but I don't want your wife to kill you. Definately need a 'tower' light on each pylon, though.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Well, there's where I'm at.

Vance, where do you mean to put the "tower lights"?

 

[Captain_Cash]

Wow that is awesome. I've been a TrekBBS lurker for a long time and a follower of MadMan's. I love the work you've been doing.

 

[Vance]

Vance, where do you mean to put the "tower lights"?

Navigation lights on the top of each 'nipple' on the center of each pylon and the center of the starbase tower itself.

Ah, I see what you are saying.

 

[Guartho]

Hey are you the same as FourMadMen?

 

[M'Sharak]

I'm pretty sure he's madman1701a over there.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Yep, I try to have the same name, wherever I go.

 

[Amaris]

Once more, Madman, I am singularly impressed by your high level of skill and professionalism. Excellent work!


J.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks.

 

[Guartho]

I'm pretty sure he's madman1701a over there.

Over where?

 

[MadMan1701A]

Over where?

I was guessing they meant Scifi-Meshes.com.

 

[Guartho]

Oh. No I was typing in a hurry and should have asked "Did you used to be FourMadMen?" I've not been in this forum with any regularity for about 2 years. There was a talented Blender artist back then named FourMadMen or 4MadMen. I thought maybe he changed his name in that big wave of name changes that happened in the interim.
