Hello Viper would it be possible to see Orthographic views of the Uss Atlantis ?

Hello Viper would it be possible to see Orthographic views of the Uss Atlantis ?

I actually posted one several months back. I even quoted you on it

Nothing too exciting but I drafted some initial ground markings. Now I need to start figuring out the rest of the structure. The workbees need some proper bays as well. Any thoughts on the number of workbees? I felt like 12 was a good number in case of major repairs or cargo operations in stations.

I bought a new PC this week, so I can finally work on my own animations now. Some things will have to wait, but for simpler stuff it works. So I did this one, but I'm going to expand on it. For now, enjoy

Well, this one is more or less done. Missing a few small bits that I don't know how I want to tackle, but I want to move on to other things. For now this is in a good place to post. I might go back later and try a different texture look as it still came out too much like a studio model instead of a real starship.

As always, more views and larger resolution at my Artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/NxzYoP

It's like everyone can do a better TOS Enterprise than the Remastered TOS.

That’s true for today. The ship looked toylike in shots...the remastered version that is. You have to frame things up right

Everyone who is not on a budget, a deadline, and is using technology that is 15 years newer.

Indeed. And some of the remastered TOS effects were flat out gorgeous. Exhibit A: The Max Gabl digital matte paintings.

Last few days the group on Discord started to work on upgrading the clouds workflow, so I managed to make mine a lot better. No animation for now as I'm going to do some changes, but here's a still image:

Didn't you still have a ship to finish?

So, might as well give an update here. Been a while. As always, still chugging along on my projects, just had a lot happen with my life the past 4 months. First it was possibility of being out of a job, then knowing I would have a job but would be for a new client, and then I got a new offer, so had to scramble to finish everything on the old job so I could go to the new one with a clear conscience. It has been a long journey.

I decided to finish off the TOS Connie recently. Pretty close to done, just a few details left. Most of it is textured already.

And here's a fancy shot:

Will you be crafting more TOS models and creative based images from that era? This is really amazing.

No plans right now. I prefer the TMP era generally as it has a wider design scope. Maybe someday

 

[Viper]

I've had this project shelved for years now, but an opportunity came up, so I need to finish it. Here's where it stands.

 

[Tallguy]

Long time. Looking good.

 

[publiusr]

I look forward to more TMP era designs.

 

[Bernard Guignard]

very Nice work there

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Heeeeee’s back!! And with pretty pictures!!

 

[Viper]

After about a week trying to figure out a way to build these panels in a way that wouldn't make me pull my non existing hair out, I finally made some good progress.

That is some level of detail..... Damn
