Yes, another TOS Constitution reboot

Love love love this update! Just a beautiful ship!

 

[Santaman]

Yup, still a magnificent spaceboat you've got there.

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Speaking of spaceboats, did you design any shuttles for this magnificent lady? Does the model have a functional hangar bay? Inquiring minds want to know!

I love this more and more every time I see it.

So the nacelle supports just lean back a tad.
Love the dorsal/spine join on the secondary hull.

Sort of, the back end tapers outward, but the front is straight

I started converting the old girl to Octane. Most of the materials are converted, but need to be tweaked. I also have to figure out how to recreate the procedural textures I had on the Blender version (the hull had a slight grunge-like texture).

I'm wowed everytime I see her. In my book, your design is the best direct update to the original bar none.

100% this. I've said this elsewhere, but I prefer this to the Strange New Worlds reimagining of the 1701, and I really like the Strange New Worlds reimagining of the 1701.

 

[Rory1707]

What can I say…She is quite a beauty indeed!

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Welcome to the Octane club!

 

[publiusr]

Save the no-grunge version here for her at launch.
The pervious versions (pre-Octane) as after a few years in space.

To me--- THE VOYAGE HOME's final scenes should have been with the Travel Pod moving over Excelsior, then swinging around to the huge Spacedock doors----which open...the TMP drydock is beyond----and your ship inside.

That's how the TOS movies should have ended.

 

[Santaman]

Again, I mean, again again.. What a marvelous little spaceboat you've got there.

 

[Hunter-G]

Glad to hear it
The "grunge" texture wasn't so much grunge as a sort of paint coating look, and unfortunately Octane doesn't have the procedural texture node I used in Blender.

Progress:
-Got the rest of the lights in
-Made the blue glowys more deep blue
-Tweaked the deflector color
-Found a potential spotlight solution

Love that model so much

 

[TrekMD]

Gorgeous!

 

[Professor Moriarty]

Oh my she is lovely.

 

[Lordcommanderdarkwolf]

if they reboot TOS they need to get you onboard.

 

[publiusr]

That should be the toy TOMY ought to be making.

 

[Santaman]

The lighting effects you made are so very tasteful, a little hint of blue here and there, the orange of the bussards, just right.

 

[Hunter-G]

Alright I've gone back to the Blender version to do some tweaking. I've decided it's time to publicly release the model, so of course I have to make some new renders! I'm planning doing some animations to show it off better too, and for that I'll probably be using a renderfarm service to save time.

Here's some to start with:

Redo of an older image:

Some TMP style images:

One with 100% self illumination only just for fun
