WIP: U.S.S. Bozeman revisited--aka Unused TSFS Ship Design.

[ST-One]

C'mon, they're turbolifts. If they can go up and down as well as side-to-side, I'm sure they can handle a gently curved diagonal.

Or we could have like a caste system, where the people in the lower body and the people in the saucer never interact with each other. Each group is just locked into its section of the ship.

Morlocks and Eloy?

Morlocks and Eloy?

Reference the Classic SF Book by Hg wells the Time Machine
made into movies during the 50s and remade in 2005 I think
Essentialy the time traveler goes to earths future to find a beautiful
pacifistic race of humans called the Eloy that are used as cattle for
the Subterrainian humanoids called the Morlocks.

I think he understood that as ST-one brought up the Morlocks and Eloy to begin with.

What can I say other than Morning IQ Jag

Its now 4:00 pm and I still don't feel any smarter

 

[Gepard]

Bump!

Not a huge update, but I got more UV mapping done, and laid in the shield grid and registry. Too late do I discover that LightWave's UV tools do not like the new Catmull-Clark subdivision type, forcing me to go back and rethink some of the mesh. Grrr. Oh well.

Ooo, shiny.

And before people start the debates fresh again, no neck .

I was waiting for an update...
Looks very good.

 

[USS Jack Riley]

ST-One - Very nice! I never noticed how different the slope was between the Constitution Class and this Bozeman (I am referring to the section where the phasers banks and "USS Bozeman" are placed). Very interesting.

And I refuse to say anything about the neck. His design, his decision.

 

[BolianAuthor]

Nice updates! It's good to see this is still being worked on. Again, a nice ship design.

 

[Starship]

One month later...
I´m happy to see you´re back. She´s looking beautifull.

 

[Gepard]

I haven't had the chance to get any more work done on the ship in the last ~10 days, but I realized I've never done any renders with the final saucer revision or full secondary hull.

So:

[Herkimer Jitty]

That looks freaking fantabulous, Gep!

 

[Blip]

I could eat her.

That last dorsal-aft shot reminds me somehow of the USS Surak, from the DC Mirror Mirror comics... sweet.

 

[ST-One]

Great work.

 

[RedSpar]

Top notch modeling Gep. Looks great. Don't take this wrong but she could also double as an armed tug.

 

[Kemaiku]

Very nice.

 

[BolianAuthor]

Awesome!

 

[USS Mariner]

This honestly looks like an ILM creation for Trek ala TWOK. Fantastic stuff.

 

[Praetor]

That looks AWESOME!

 

[Jon1701]

Great work again, Gep
