Enterprise Season Five – NX ‘Toon

As I part of my ongoing Enterprise – Season Five project, (which has a thread in the 2D WIP section here: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/2...-animated.html) I’ve started to work on a model for the NX class.

I’ve obviously employed a toon shader in order to keep the style in line with the more traditionally animated character scenes. It’s pretty rudimentary at the moment but it’s enough while I model the basics of the design.

As you can see from the images attached I’ve being working on the the saucer section, and I should have more soon.

UPDATE:

Fleshed out more of the saucer. Next, I'll be constructing the bridge module, and fleshing out the saucer some more with the impulse engines and deflector.

Cool, I didn't know you were going to use any 3D, you'll be able to make awesome spacebattles. This also reminds me of a TAS, cellshading, clip maybe The Axeman did. I take it that beam weapons and the like will be in a toon shaded style as well?

That's the plan, obviously I need to do some tests to see how everything will look.

UPDATE:

As you can see I've added the bridge module (though I'm still missing a bit from the back), the deflector, and impulse engines. Next up are the catamarans.

This looks really good, i've always been looking to do a 3D cartoon version of the TOS enterprise

UPDATE:

The catamarans are done. Next up I'll flesh out the aft structures and start to work on the nacelles.

UPDATE:

A little update on the ongoing effort on the nacelles. I'm working on the rear section now, which is a pretty complex shape so it could take a while.

Yeah the model is pretty slick so far. Will you be testuring it ? I guess not because it would break up the cartoony style (unless you go with cartoony textures) ... Anyway, I found some really nice pics of the NX class : NX Class I'm sure that you have some reference pics but these ones are the best I've ever seen. Keep up the good job ! I can't wait to see first animations of your series !
