Figured I would share this with everyone here.
First off NO I started this mesh before that trailer, and yes I have let it influence me a small bit. (bussard blender bits) This started out from the U.S.S. Lethe I did a while back and with some nagging from others, The deflector is a obvious carry over peice from that mesh.
As always this project has gone out of control and rebuilds and more polygons than planned. I hope to be done with modeling soon. Unless I decide to change something.
I know there is too much TMP influence etc And my bussard cowling has become WAY too much like someone elses reboot ship
Plagerism influence or happy mistake? dunno. I tried to avoid looking at anything but the original TOS and the refit studio models while working on this.But in the end just a glimpse of other designs will effect what you do.
The bulk of the build up of this mesh can be seen here
3dscifi or at
Foundation 3D
I am currently at a loss as to how the RCS thrusters will look. I like Vektors rounded ones, and would like to avoid a direct lift from the refit, done enough of that on the secondary hull. Adn the Arboretum interior, racks of plants for food or a park like deal.
