What the Star Trek XI shuttle may look like.

Man you 3D savvy people are amazing. Did you do any additional stuff to the render in PS, or did it come out like that, with the dirt and weathering? Awsome. I love these conjecture threads.

That's pretty much right out of the render. The only thing I did in PS was add a bit of specular bloom on the highlights, and a slight amount of film grain.

Thanks for the comments, guys.
 
You know, this whole designs screams LEGO to me. In other words, it looks like it was designed in order of being easily reproduced with LEGO bricks.

Are we finally getting some official Star Trek LEGO sets with the new movie? I think so. :bolian:
 
Wow. Very nice job! :techman:

Just one question, was the top in the leaked pictures or was that some conjecture on your part?

Part of the aft top was just barely visible in the pics. However, the top I made is about 95% conjecture.
 
Dear lord that looks awesome. A very logical step between the shuttlepods of Enterprise and the Class 7 Galileo-type of TOS.
 
So, I created a CG version of the shuttle we saw in the set photos a few days ago. I tried to piece together what it may look like from the photos we saw. Take a look...

Again, this is not an official image, just my best guess at what the shuttle may look like based off the images we've seen.

Nice! You should go to the starshipmodeler.net forums and post a link to that in the Star Trek Modelling section - a lot of us would be keen to build one, even if that doesn't end up being the actual thing in the movie!

Edit- I've just popped over there and given a link to this thread.
 
I wish there had been a resource like this back when I was building ST & SW models. I had to wing it.
 
Beautiful work :techman:...

...however, I have a feeling the shuttlecraft will look more similar to the TOS variety, with the nacelles on the underside and no wings. I suppose the "fuselage" I'm envisioning will look similar to your tremendous artwork. It's just that I think Abrams will follow TOS's design more closely -- and that ship we saw last week is simply another variety of craft unrelated to THE shuttlecraft.

Although of course I could be wrong.

...oh -- and congrats on winning the trekmovie "fake video contest"

The ones from the Enterprise probably will. Remember, we don't know the story behind that scene. Could be a civilian shuttle, another Starfleet model, or an older model in service in the 2240s when Enterprise is built. Either way, someone needs to give pixel magic a job after this. Great work.

Nice work. That really does match up to the set photos.

Unfortunately, that version suffers from the "too much extraneous" surface detail that many of today's science fiction ships do. It serves to make it look antiquated compared to TOS version of the shuttles.

Great job here. I saw a few of the pics from the shoot that were posted. Some of the links were broken, but a few remained. Anyways, this model does look very good and I do like the fact that there are /wings/ on the shuttle. It enters the atmosphere of planets, so wings come in handy there.

The wide design coupled with the wings makes for a comparison with today's flying wings like the Stealth Bomber. It makes sense.
 
Yo homie. Cuz I think this is good, shud u resalize the matrix on the bottom.
Shuld you syray cloder to the original lok of the tv serize?
Nise job thow.

:wtf:
Clearly a UT failure. I'm sure the engineers will be getting on it shortly.
Yeah, maybe it works just like in DS9's "Sanctuary" where the UT doesn't translate the Skrreean's words and they keep them talking until the UT can make sense of the Skrreean language. But wait a minute, that would mean he had to ... NO!
 
I very sary me enjlih is knot vey god. So wat du U thinc of meye idea?

No offense, but I think we're still trying to figure out what your idea was. :confused:

Oh, and PixelMagic? Beautiful work. I bow to you. *doffs cap*

Intentional bad spelling can only mean one thing. Looks like we're veering into Bizzaro world again.
 
OK-is it just me or does this look a little like the "starspeeder 3000" at Star Tours?

Not a criticism of the model, or the work, which is excellent! Just curious if anyone else thinks this.
