USS Constellation, NCC-1017
- Thread starter MadMan1701A
- Start date
I was just thinking about the whole bridge area, earlier... I think I will go in that direction. Who knows, maybe this older vessel has a two-story bridge?
Designed, but scaled up to about 720 meters. MadMan's design looks pretty consistent at this scale.
To be fair, the effects shots don't really have her that big (else the Lexington would be over a kilometer, easily) ... it's just studio noise from the same people who fired individuals for setting a comparitive scale. The new 720m number is just penis-envy.
Who fired whom?
Interesting... I didn't know anyone got fired over how big the Enterprise was supposed to be...
Well, here's all I got done tonight... not as much as I wanted, but it's progress.

The story's been floating around here, but I can't remember who Abrams fired now.. one of the ship designers from most of the last decade of Trek. His crime was having another picture of the Enterprise (TOS) up for scale.
If that picture was released, somebody has it. It's out there. I sooooooooo wanna see!

Still just hearsay. And we don't know that it was Abrams who fired him either.
Then Eaves is a liar, basically? And Mandel lost his job through faries and pixie dust? Honestly, this has been as confirmed as possible short of an official press statement.
Can we talk more about the pretty pictures, for Madman's sake?
Not bad. I still think the doors should be move convex, maybe coming out about halfway between where they end now and the fantail itself.
Good, though anyway.

Is the graininess of this shot intentional? Because it does a great job of adding to the sense of scale. Like looking at old color photos of Navy ships from WW2.

So far, I have liked all your 3D work and I still like the way this ship is going but I really do not like the Impulse Engine on this ship so I wonder, is the primary hull going to change mch?
Well, if they "bulge" out any further, you can see them stick out past the curvature in a side view, and it looks weird, almost like I screwed up.Can we talk more about the pretty pictures, for Madman's sake?

When Ambient Occlusion is on (which I always leave on at this stage, just so I can see inside the shadows) it leads to this grainy effect.
Hmm... What don't you like about it? It is almost the same as the one on Kelvin... I figured impulse drives wouldn't change much... The detailing on top of the saucer is still subject to change, and all of this will of course look different after I texture it.Interesting...

Haven't been here in awhile...as always, great work.
Thanks, guys.
Praetor, I think I'm done with the bay doors... I wanted them to be more conical on this one, just for something different.
Here's some pics...
Also, I got the "neck" and the torpedo launcher worked out.
I was going for that "spine" look for the back of the neck,and the backs of the Nacelle Pylons will look like this, also. I think I got it pretty close...
What do ya'll think about that inset area at the front of the neck? I thought it added something... I like the one on Gabe Koerner's Enterprise.
I'm still taking it easy today, recovering, so I've got some more time to work on this. Updates later...

Something quick....
I wanted to see how easy it was to kitbash this thing, since I still want to make my "toolkit" out of it.
I made this in less than 5 minutes...
