I already gushed about this on YouTube, but I'll do it again here. Phenomenal work. It's not just technically impressive in terms of the CGI, the virtual cinematography, directing (blocking & staging, continuity, etc.), and editing are all on point, too. Well done! Please, please explore more...

Having spent quite a bit of time goofing around in UE4, I would fully expect it to be a challenge (likely dependent upon which program you're importing assets from). The visual scripting (Blueprints) in UE4 isn't all that difficult to work with, and there are many great tutorials available...

Can you imagine if this were the visual aesthetic for an interactive project? It would be the only game I'd play... Awesome work. So balanced. You've really built a whole world for these designs to inhabit.

I think the Protostar is one of the most eye-catching designs in recent memory. It really grabs one's attention. And coming from an age where ship classes always trended larger, it's nice to see some thought put into more compact spaceframes.

The Galaxy is easily one of my favorite starship classes, and I'm excited to see where you take this redesign. :bolian:

Incremental.

The ventral view arrives (or a decent first attempt, at least). I'm still working out the ship's somewhat complex hull geometry, so please bear with me! You may notice the saucer profile ended up being a compromise between arrowhead and crab (though it does lean more toward the crab profile).

These are stunning. I love the realistic aerospace aesthetic mashed up with early Trek.

I'm leaning toward the crab, aesthetically and geometrically. I think the deflector ring is going to look wonky with the arrowhead profile. :vulcan:

Kind words, thank you! MSPaint is both charming and maddening. I use it only because I've developed a workflow for starship design that allows me to iterate quickly. But those large, square pixels do drive me a bit insane at times. You can only get the lines so curvy, the viewports so small...

Aft view nearly finished. Dorsal profile very rough. The design is actually larger than I thought (but mostly saucer). Note that the saucer section will definitely be tapering more than the current outline. I tend to start large and then chisel away the fat.

I normally don't show "rough" iterative versions, but maybe some of you will find it interesting to see more of the process...

This will likely be the last update before I tackle the aft and dorsal views! Any thoughts on shuttlebay placement? This is a smaller ship, so shuttlecraft/workpod/workbee capacity will be more limited. Perhaps vertical shuttlebay doors (similar to DS9) on the dorsal spine? The only other...

This is incredible! I had (IIRC, my brother still has) the Playmates TNG Bridge Playset and Generations Engineering Playset from the early 1990s. I spent many hours playing with both as a kid, and though my action figures were a bit of a dog's breakfast, generationally speaking (no pun...

Yes, I haven't gotten around to those yet. :D

I don't think I've added any viewports to the front view yet. Mainly just correcting the uppermost dorsal saucer hull geometry in the front view to accurately correspond to the lateral view. Slowly adding detail to the ventral hull sections. Balancing this design (especially for viewport...

Another incremental update:

Ah, the Orville. I love that show (and ship). I can definitely understand what you're talking about. So is this art imitating art...imitating art? :cardie: Unfortunately, I am not much of a 3D artist, so unless someone else wants to take on the monumental task of translating them to 3D...

Thanks for the comments, all! A few folks have mentioned not being able to see older images in the thread. Unfortunately, I can't resurrect them since I was locked out of my original Deviant Art account at some unknown point (though if you visit that gallery you'll probably see everything that...

Small update. Testing a new warp engine field grill configuration. Starting to correct hull geometry to align the orthographic views, and adjusting for perspective. Still working out nacelle placement and scaling in the forward view. Lore update: heavy Vulcan influence on this ship class, to...
