Yes, the batteries were included.

This looks like a very good mix of TOS-, Movie Era- and TNG-designs :thumbsup:

Oh, I just realized that I never used the 'Venture' you gave me...

It's actually the very first thing I modeled in CG, using Imagine 2.0 for DOS, back in 1995. That mesh long ago disappeared, but last year I found the blueprints for it and recreated it in Lightwave out of sentimentality.

Say, is 3D Gladiators still going?

If you ever do anything with the Venture I'd love to see it.

 

[ST-One]

I haven't been there in ages... just checked and it is still around

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

3D Gladiators schismed off from the old "Sci-Fi Art" site that was one of the first places I posted on the web. Glad to hear that it endures.

Thank you so very much!
You just made my day.
Thank you!








But, this (the ship) is indeed a CG-model composited into a picture of my desk .
I wish it were a real model.

I, uh...wanted to give you a boost. Yes, that's it! I knew it was CG the whole time! Really!



Seriously, even taking a second, closer look at that image I'm having a hard time telling. Fabulous job.

Now that does bring up the question...who will be making a model kit? Forbin? Anyone?

The biggest problem I see would be trying to find models where the warp nacelles from the TOS Enterprise and the warp nacelles from the NX-01 are the same diameter.

Good luck with that...

Actually the nacelles only borrow detailing from the NX-01 - in shape and proportion they're a good deal closer to the engines on the TOS ship.

In terms of hull contours, the basis for most of the rest would be the TMP ship rather than the TOS ship.

ST-One, did you order the model directly from Art Asylum?

Your comp work is amazing and the environmental lighting is spot on, imho. For a moment my son and I thought that Dennis granted a production license to AA. Good job, ST!

 

[ST-One]

Thanks

That would be something, wouldn't it?

That's one of the best photo composites I've seen in a LONG time! The only thing that gives it away (besides the fact that I instantly recognized Dennis's Phoenix model) is that the lighted nacelle caps should have caused at least a faint diffuse reflection against the woodgrain of the desk.

Thank you

I had the reflection set to 1,5 % or 2 % (not sure right now). At first I had it set higher, but that looked far to fake, to me at least...

Could we (well, that we means 'I') see more of your 'Doomsday' project? A new thread, some preview images? Please.

Check back later today.

I will

I quite like this image. Good job.

They'd actually need a license from CBS - and if they had that, nothing I did to come up with the "Phoenix" would give me any real legal claim to the design.

The only thing that gave this away was the lack of blue in the highlights of the ship.

I really couldn't tell otherwise. Incredible work.
