The phaser burst on the first encounter are great against the hull but the last few against Reliant used some sort of shock wave effect that just didn't jive. It's so close to movie quality.
Holy Crap! You even recreated the grain, twinkling stars and blue hue (remnants of the Bluescreen?) from the Original Shots! This is totally comparable to the CGI-Shots made for the TMP-Directors Cut.
Dude, again, seriously? Did you really render that stuff? If so, I, frankly, have no idea why they used whoever the hell they used to re-release this movie.
Excellent computer graphics though I've often wondered about that saucer section connection if it were hit just right enough with a direct hit would split off I think it's the weakest part of the ship (scifi-show be an excuse of course Star Trek era to keep it though I guess) Khan's obsession with Kirk led to his downfall. I would have simply got kirk at a later time Star Fleet was bound to notice the Reliant had gone missing prior to kirks involvement. What software used Lightwave 3D?
If I may quote "Holy Crap on a cracker"....man thas is one awsome looking reboot, now only if the studio would take the hint and make it happen mainstream
(slight nitpick: the first shot of Reliant closing seems to have a rather narrow FOV which makes the approach of the Reliant seem very flat. We don't get the sense of zoom like we do in the original FX shot.)
The light and texturing on your models is FANTASTIC! Some of the most realistic CGI I have seen. It'd be cool though if you could make the photos more like the 'shards of light' 'glow' like in ST:TMP and ST:GEN.
The light and comp (matching the original look) is very good. I am quite impressed! The VFX impact elements are the only improvement I could suggest really. That first phaser blast from Reliant is stellar. (from Reliant's angle before impact)
Now THIS is excellent film-quality CGI work!!! This is how it's done! Excellent lighting and shading. NOTHING looks cartoony and I actually had to look closely to see if these weren't the actual shots from original film only cleaned up. They really look THAT good!! This is better than what CBS-D did with TOS remastered. Just excellent quality. Job well done!!! :-)
I love the work that you did on this recreation. It is so seamless and flawless that I couldn't tell the difference other than the image looked crisper. It's like watching a HD version of the original scene. You can definitely teach George Lucas on how to redo VFX on a movie from the 70's and 80's.
Superbly done! Like others have said this is extremely faithful to the original movie. Well done indeed! Would also like to see the Excelsior and Enterprise give Chang a good kicking :).
Wait a minute - you actually made the models and everything from scratch? I mean, watching it, its identical to the movie, it just looks a lot cleaner and prettier, but its extremely faithful to the movie. Color me impressed as all hell. This is beautiful.
Nice job! Good shot for shot recreation there! (And the characters...they look so real! Just kidding!) Nice job on those ships! Far better than I'm capable of right now. :)
You know, I don't think that I've ever responded to a video on YouTube....but I really need to this time....WOW, this piece is INCREDIBLY well done !!!! I'm a HUGE Star Trek fan and the world's BIGGEST nitpicker of videos and this one was very, very well done. Thanks for this, good job!!!
I've been wanting to do special effects computer animation, but the one's I've searched for are either outrageously expensive or are difficult to learn and come with no manuals or learning material such as Blender 3D clearly you're using something expensive my guess either Maya or what I want to get Lightwave 3D 10 from Newtek? Darn I hate being on a budget wise I could afford stuff like this!
I always liked the miranda class look. If you were gonna build a starship for real it be better than constitution class mainly the impulse engine runs thru it center of gravity unlike the connies.
Fantastic Job! If I were making a S.T. movie I would hire you. The lighting on the ships comes off great on the camera. In the original movie if you watch the nacels on the reliant on certain scenes the black sections actually have background stars within them. Nice improvement.
@mcfuson37 its because rick berman hated the miranda class after he saw wrath of kahn so whenever he put that ship in the tv show or movies, he destroyed it usally in a violent way.
Hey! I've watched this video and the one you made after this and I just wanted to say EXCELLENT WORK! You've really done a fantastic job on these models, it really looks like it could have been done with the original models (though that would probably lead to the same arguement @davidfuchs is making!) However I will say that I much prefer the lighting on this version, the other version looks a bit high on the gain, otherwise awesome work!!!
If memory serves while Reliant is circling the Enterprise while she is in in front of her the Enterprise keeps her nose pointed at her as the Reliant goes from Left to right yet in your vid 5:23 -5:26 she is dead in the water. True? or am I mistaken either way nice touches looks good.
have you tried doing anything on your own? meaning just a space battle of your own design, maybe even ships of your own design? if you did I would love to see it.
wow... very slick... totally geeking out... as i was watching I was going thru all the information in my head.case in point,think that in shot 7:23? the brigde of the reliant was the set for original brigde of the enterprise.(in the show.)khans "crew' was over 200 yrs old when we saw them,does anyone know what class reliant was,cannot remember.
Kick ass.....it was better then the original..of course almost 30 years of FX Technology have gone by allow this to happen. Well done! I'm sure it wasn't easy.
You did a great job--so great that it points out how replacing motion control models with CG doesn't really make much sense unless you do something with the ships the models couldn't :P
The job on matching the slightly dark and "degraded" look of the real models is pretty great--they don't feel like plastic. :)
Well done! Paramount/CBS ought to be calling you very soon for future Star Trek remastering projects.
In the meantime, perhaps you can lend an FX hand over at "Star Trek Phase II". They've fallen way behind their quota of one "webisode" a year. They could sure use somebody like you. Excellent work.
Real nice! I was going to say the original effects needed nothing (which i still believe look pretty awesome by the way) but this is really good and only enhances the original stuff. Perfect lighting as well! Beautiful!
ASTOUNDING work! Do you realize that this is exactly how it would look if this movie were made today, with cgi instead of models. I salute you... This is SO accurate that it's almost unbelievable, it must have been very time consuming and came from someone dedicated, gifted, and a true genius (not to menchan photograhic memory,Lol!). I'm a true connesuir of this movie and am highly impressed! Liked, Favorited and subbed (with friend request) also sending my own work on it to you.
Judging from all the blues on the console and colors of the live action footage, you used the Blu-Ray version of the live footage didnt you? Anyways your VFX are great. I always thought they should go back and at least edit in the damage from "Search For Spock"
Now THIS is good stuff! Spectacular work! Your VFX look awesome, as do the live-action scenes. Did you run some kind of enhancement on them as well? I've never seen them look so crisp and clear. Beautiful!
I am very impressed bu this recreation, but I don't really care for those shock-wave rings that occur during the phaser hits. Personally I think it would look better without them.
