And here's another shot. These are from a short film I'm creating, just a fun little excercise.
And yet another angle of the Big E in Drydock as we follow a dockworker's shuttle past the warp nacelles.
Here are a couple of images from last year.
And here's a matte shot I created of part of Starfleet Academy.
And HERE'S the actual shot in motion...

^THAT is amazing!
I also want to take a moment to thank my friend Doug Drexler for his generous help with this shot. Without Doug's help and advice, my work would be far inferior to what I'm starting to achieve now.
Mahalo!

No, this is not a reference to any specific Drydock in the films. This is an idea of my own from little short film I am making. I will tell you there's a shot in my film where we see clearly written on the gangway structure "San Francisco Orbital Dock #2"
There are probably quite few of those drydocks; this one is the one I like, and I chose to color the way I did. I did not create the model; I don't have that skill, but I did alter the textures some.
The original author of it, named Prologic9 on Foundation 3D, DID have it in the rusty color. Part of my difference is due to rather blue lighting in the shot, and to a certain amount of my changing the textures. (Thanks Prologic9 for such a great model!)
As you will see when I put out the film in the next few months, I am not following, nor worried about, canon in this instance. This will be my own vision BASED on a mashup of canon concepts.
It's just for fun.

Very nice work!
It looks like it came right out of the movie studio. I am truly impressed.
Cool stuff. The problem with the second picture is that the guy in the window wouldn't have anywhere to stand given the acute angle of the hull seen there.
Quite correct! Actually, I have no body from the waist down and simply place myself on the shelf below the window like a potted plant!
No, you're right, the issue was with the ultra-wide angle lens on the shot. I could have moved myself back in the room, but then I would either have A) fallen out of the view on the windowframe, or B) My waist actually would have been cut-off, as the video plate of me was not wide enough to include me from head to toe.
Cheating for camera is a wonderful thing, I think!
Yet another shot from the same project.
The Big "E" departing Orbital Drydock #2 in orbit above San Francisco, CA.
