Judging from what I can see while building this thing, They took the 1701 Refit, and backed the technology up from that, to make it seem a little more primitive. That holds true for the outsides, and maybe even the bridge, because it looks like the turbolift doors are in the same place, and they just added some stations here and there. You could say that with some advancement, the stations weng away.
All the textures applied, except the dish...Judging from what I can see while building this thing, They took the 1701 Refit, and backed the technology up from that, to make it seem a little more primitive.

I think they've done a great job, really. I think if it looked closer to the old 1701, people would be complaining just as vocally that they didn't spruce it up.

Well, it's not like on Monday we'll suddenly have full official orthos from Paramount or something, so don't sweat it too much.I want to get this done before Monday.

Just a few more...Re ancient: Now that's the way the ship should look!
Err, not to diminish your work in any way.
Thanks, me too.
I just very lightly traced over a pic of the TOS ship to get the proportions right, then messed with it until it looked like the thing in the official image.All the textures applied, except the dish...

I can't tell, it's in too much shadow. I think it's just an undercut, like mine has. I just have more light in the area.Well, it's not like on Monday we'll suddenly have full official orthos from Paramount or something, so don't sweat it too much.I want to get this done before Monday.

Yeah, I hope so too! Sorry if I kinda hijacked your thread, Madman, your model is obviously way better than my little sketch!
Thanks, me too.

Looking good, but isn't there some sort of...something under the torp launchers? Some sort of protrusion? I have no idea what it's supposed to be...
Thanks.
I think alot of opinions might change after the HD trailer is out tomorrow.
, she looks 100% better from the angles you chose as compared to the official image release. The only things I can say that I still really hate are those warp nacelles, YUCK, and the "underbite" JJ gave the secondary hull. Everything else kind of grows on you, even if it's not the canon Enterprise from Kirks younger days. Keep it up man, I can't wait to see your work completed.
Blender 2.45 for the 3D, and Photoshop CS3 for the textures.
Yeah, I saw that, and the main thing it shows me I've done wrong is how the "neck" blends into the Secondary Hull. I made mine kind of bend outward, but not far enough. Not sure if I'm going to fix it, at this point.
Yeah. I don't like that wrinkle.
Maybe I'll add in it in the future revision of this model, after the movie comes out.
