Hi all,
I've got that minis thread, but I've done a bit of modeling otherwise for more extravogent things. Since I'm thinking of revisiting them for some animation examples (looking for a job, trying my hand at video work), I thought of them again and wanted to share.
I dunno if I've shared these before, but I want to share them again and expand!
First, I've got my take on the TOS Miranda.
Some highlights:
+There's no roll-bar. I figured this feature was added to the class with the refit, much like the photon box added to the refit connie. Plus, I have yet to see a photon box analogue on a TOS variant that does well. The class looks better without it.
+The Surya, Anton, and similar never felt good either as analogues. That's why I built this one, to be my take on the concept.
+An idea I'm running with is different nacelle designs for different ship classes (mostly because at the time, I didn't want to go all-out in replicating the connie nacelles exactly).
+Unfortunately, this model is lost. A hard drive crash this past year cost me this, a Loknar design, and a Capella I did.
Some shots of the dead Loknar:
Right now I'm paused at this stage of rebuilding the Miranda; need to define windows, then create the custom textures necessary for hull grid and markings:
