Jayru (JSnaith's) 3D Trek

[JSnaith]

Well, I'm happy that I was able to motivate you in such a manner!! You definitely rose up to challenge. For me, this goes right up their with the TMP version and SNW in a shared spot as my favorite take on Star Trek's most classic ship.

That is... Thank you.

For those interested, the deck disposition -

And again, her length is 392meters -

The Shuttlebay is 3 decks high - which gives me a lot of room to play with.

I shall sketch out a few things and then have it tomorrow :-)

 

[JSnaith]

Late night, or early start - bad night, so am up -

New "room behind the windows" set -

comments welcome, more later.

 

[JSnaith]

Humble beginnings of a shuttle frame to go with this ship -

Comments welcome more soon

 

[JSnaith]

Sorry for lack of updates - yesterday was a crap day. Lack of sleep makes for a bad bedfellow when doing anything like this. Anyways, I've rebuilt the shuttle hull which has cured 100% of the mesh errors I had, and started detailing her up -

Yes, this shuttle has a basic interior set - nothing fancy, just enough so that I can have proper glass on the windows -

More details still to add, but it's shaping up quite nicely.

Comments welcome, more later.

 

[JSnaith]

Detailing is layering up quite well... few more things, and then this is finished!

More later

I wasn't sure on the pylons in your first mock-up. But with all these details I'd say it works very well!

It feels a little too simple, but when you think about the original shuttle from TOS, it wasn't overly complex when it came to detail - and that's something worth echoing I think. Have a few more things to do before it's done. I may have built more than one of these...

Plans have changed this afternoon, so I'll be back at it tomorrow

I don't think this design is simple at all! There's a lot of little angles and details that show a elegant complexity that makes it appear simple.
No, it was mostly the angles of the pylons at first. But now that it's more fleshed out they work.

I dig the landing skids on the shuttle nacelles.

The impulse drive kinda looks planted on. Probably should try emulating the original a bit more there...

Thank you - yes, it feels like they are sitting right.

Sometimes you just need to keep it simple

Way ahead of you... And I need to emulate the big ship



Updates -

What's better than one shuttle? THREE!

Given the size of the Kamcaira she more than likely carries more than three. I can make more if the mood takes me.

Comments welcome, more later...

 

[JSnaith]

Time to update a scene, give more of a working vibe -

And finally, the obligatory "battle stations" shot -

Things left to do - a hanger bay would be nice, and is something I intended to do. And then... a break.

Anyways, not done yet - more later.

The egress door/hatch might need a small window to peek out before opening the door; it also adds definition to the side of the ship? Your shuttlecraft look great.

There's a hatch either side of the frame - I think they are fine as they are, but I'll think on it

Hiya gang, just wanted to touch base and let you all know that I am still around. Been working on some non-Trek stuff 3D wise as well as a book. The non-Trek stuff can be found here: https://forums.scifi-meshes.com/discussion/10001462/3djayrus-wip-dump-thread/p1

Currently working on Blake's 7 ships, doing a 2024 update of them. Anyways, more at some point. Be well.

They all look good.
Keep up the good work
