Klingon D7

[XFozzboute]

After the last movie came out I started to rethink all the old ship designs and decided to do my versions of them.
I've finished my version of the U.S.S. Saladin, the U.S.S. Kelvin, the U.S.S. Archer, the U.S.S Swiften a D 7 and a Tholian ship. I've still got a few others in the works I just haven't done anything with them lately. While building my version of the D7 I thought about doing a D5.

I can’t believe it’s been about a year since I’ve worked on this. While deciding to finish the textures on the D5 I thought I might as well make them completely different since the ship is older than the D7. Ignore the textures on the neck they’ve gone fubar.

UPDATE...
Getting started on the new neck textures.

Here’s a shot of the new textures for the big round bit. Hopefully I can be done with this tonight. I’ve got orthos to do and I’ve already mocked up an idea for a new pic.

That looks really great. Coloration is just right. heck--keep the neck colors and have it be a ship from FASA's Triangle..a link to the Orions...

UPDATE...
Neck textures are now complete. All I need to do now are the disrupters, main hull and warp engines.

The shuttlebay textures are now done and I made new textures for the impulse engines. This will help me save a few polygons.

Very nice! I like your textures, they really give it sense of scale.

 

[Santaman]

Nice work.

Always breathtaking. You always seem to capture the grace of TOS designs while still managing to update them visually for the modern era.

That was just a mistake those textures got mixed up with something else.

UPDATE...
Nearly done. I probably should have finished this yesterday but I should be completely done by Thursday.

Here’s the bottom and back of the hull.

I got the engines done but I need to fix a few things. I also added a few more red graphics to the ship to break up all that green.

 

[B.J.]

Hmm... Those red markings don't quite look right to me. They look more Federation than Klingon. I would keep them, but "Klingonify" them somehow. Not quite sure how you'd do that, though.

UPDATE...
Well I think I’m calling this one done. Unless I find something I don’t like. Now I’ll get to work on those orthos.

 

[Klaus]

Very nice! ...what program do you use?

 

[XFozzboute]

3D Studio Max 6.

 

[XFozzboute]

And it is done.
