ZardoZ's Shipyard

[Zardoz]

OK .. some guys see the 2d draws of my propositon of the USS Yorktown (and Legends class) for Star Trek Origins fanfilm. (There is here)

Now i put the 3d wip.

I begging modelling the design 1, but i change to the second design (reduced neck section, go to 11 decks approximated).

Some images of my progress.




The ship have a mixture of details from NX, TOS and TMP (Refited Enterprise), like my alternative connie WIP. So looks more primitive compare wich it.

Tasks :

- End the warp nacels
- Do phaser banks
- Do shuttle bay doors and small tweaking of these zone
- Do wings to the warp nacels
- Do grid lines in secundary hull and neck
- Do secundary cargo bays doors in the saucer
- Do Photon torps tubes.
- Do windows
- Do basic texturing (aztec pattern (i dont do it again in mesh!!), warp grid in the nacels, and prepare the materials to add the text layers)

Edit : There a lot of things that changed from the initial post.
. I will changing the attach - post avatar to reflect big changes in what I'm doing now.

Cool design
Show us more!!!!!

The shadows are very harsh so it's hard to make out details in certain perspectives, you might wanna put a weenie bit of fill light in there.

[Zardoz]

This renders are wich the default lights of 3d MAX. I use it usualy to crete any model, later i will put ligths.

I tweaked a bit the sizes of the bridge, to match to the size of TOS bridge (and turbo lift), and keep a logic size of the Conference room (and a bathroom ... not comment lol)

[Zardoz]

Well, i make a 2d drwa of the bridge (in scale, to adjust the exterior size wich the interior size)

More images ... the wings of the warp nacels.... Need smal tweaks, but is there ...


Overall image of the ship...

Interesting design. I'm looking forward to see how it looks once finished

[Zardoz]

I advanced in the ship ... i nearly finished the mesh of the warp nacels.... I recycled some of my early works in TOS ships (the intecorlers, the bussard collector animated texture and the warp coils (i redo the mask texture).



I recibe some sugestions of put the warp nacels in a upward position, but in a low angle position. I thnik that is a bad idea, because i need to make too long the wings to place the warp nacels in a logic postion. Do you think ?

Actual position of the warp nacels in frontal & lateral view (this images are before the others).

I advanced more wich the warp pylons. I merged the mesh wich the secundary hull, make a bit more wide the pylon, and retouch the grid. Now i'm thinking how extend the grid over the secundary hull.

[Zardoz]

Im was thinking wich Corel draw, over two orto iamges of the secundary hull ... I will do this grid lines...
