Star Trek stuff

Glad ya'll like it

I really like the phaser, but the one thing I'd change is switching out the trigger for a button. The trigger looks a bit earthy/mechanical, and when you're using an electronic weapon a button makes more sense.

True, but it's more about the feel of pulling a trigger when you shoot it. I've shot many guns and a button just wouldn't feel right. It's like how piano keyboards have weighted keys, because they way you play is effected otherwise.

Same with the handle shape too. Some people like to go crazy on scifi gun handles, but in reality, it's just about what feels most comfortable in your hand. Only so many shapes are. That's my logic behind the design anyway.

Nothing new today, just a more refined concept of the USS Seeker:

I basically just tweeked the proportions to look a little better. Here is a comparison so you can see the difference:

As for the class name, I'm thinking Extant class, but I'm not 100% sure on that yet

 

[Albertese]

Extant? As in, yes, this class does indeed currently exist?

Pretty much, haha! Still open to suggestions though

You mold line of the Connie seems a bit different.

I'd like to see your take fleshed out.

Oh boy! It's been years since I've been on here, but I finally have some new stuff. I've always been thinking about my redesigned Trek-verse, but not had much time to actually do anything with my ideas. Again, most of what I dump here are ideas.

The first era I plan on updating is the TOS era, modernizing the originals as well as merging the Disco-verse designs a little better. I'll be doing a few originals for each era as well of course.

I seem to fall into 3 phases. 1: Concepts via doodling, 2: Fleshing out a design (blocking it in using Blender, mainly to make sure the shapes and lighting works), and 3: Actually modeling the dumb thing. Right now most my ideas are in phase 1, and I'm on phase 2 for some TOS designs.

Enough rambling! Here are a few concepts
Science ship (25th century):

Battlecruiser (25th century):

Possible Galaxy class redesign (not a refit dammit! No refits, only redesigns!)
Sorry, everyone on Facebook was assuming it was a refit lol

I'd love to hear thoughts or suggestions!

Solid

I really like your style (the look of pencil work etc.). Your Discovery redesign is a favourite (I've seen it on Deviant Art, I believe?), and I like the unusual layout of the 25th century battlecruiser - to my eyes, it has a Klingon look to it (it's the curved down nacelles, I think). Can't wait to see more

Your take on the Galaxy is just jaw-dropping.

I want to see more.

I can’t see your previous images

That is from my previous attempt at a Connie reboot BTW. I'll get back to that soon

Glad you like them! It is reminiscent of Klingon design, I've always loved the look of the Klingon battlecruiser. And I actually have a new version of Discovery I'm working on right now

Thank you sir! I think I fixed all the links. Dropbox keeps changing things and they keep getting broken, so I switched to Imgur

I forgot to post this one here! So many places to post. Scifi-meshes, deviantArt, Facebook, Instagram.....

I started blocking the Saladin concept in Blender.

I'll put the old drawing here too for reference (I obviously changed quite a bit):

And the new:

Someone on Scifi-meshes suggested a bump map for the grids since I was too lazy to do them. Not a bad idea for this concept stage, I'll probably do that from now on.

I see a lot of my own Hayden in that science ship's side profile. I dig it a lot! Less sold on the battlecruiser, but that's just personal preference :-)

Honestly? - I prefer it to the official Galaxy.

Interesting. If you have a picture of it I'd love to see it!

Quite the compliment, thank you!

Alright, here is my new and improved Crossfield concept. This time I wanted to be more faithful to the overall shape from the show than my first concept. I'm still on the fence with adding the third impulse engine. Though if anything I think would look better with a single engine on the saucer as opposed to 2 at the back of the engineering hull...

Lastly, what TOS/Discovery ships are your favorite? I'm looking for ideas of what to do next

 

[BorgMan]

Woah... I just now saw that all the links in my Hayden thread are as dead as Data... Here's a side profile I grabbed directly from SketchUp:

 

[brainbox]

I've decided to put all Star Trek stuff, 2D and 3D, (besides my Connie reboot) into 1 thread. Here is a dump of images to start with:

2D:
Gallant Class concept

Unknown small ship concept.

Another small ship, my favorite so far.

Small BOP concept

Luna class rehash.

Asgard class concept v2

3D:
Corvus class

I will be modeling the 2D concepts that I like eventually.

Cheers!

Wow these are very nice

You've actually managed to turn the fugly Discovery into a good looking ship!

I do like the shapes there. And it does have a similar silhouette from the side

Wow these are very nice

Thank you! I'll have to redo those old ones sometime.

Lol I'm glad it worked

 

[Hunter-G]

I actually did decide to remove the secondary hull engines, and it looks so much better!

I also updated the previous images to reflect the change
