Wau... those are some really BIG numbers on the hull O_O Can i ask please what was providing that blinding stream of white light that illuminates the starboard side above and below? At first i thought it was light from the cloud you can see at the edges of the frame but then as it turns away from us (or we fly over the saucer section) there is a narrow stream of white light (0:18) What cosmic flashlight is supposedly making that?
@propanealex "JANEWAY: Tom, what's the first thing they teach you about maneuvering at warp?
TOM: "Faster than light, no left or right." When possible, maintain a linear trajectory. Course corrections could fracture the hull." So CAN they maneuver at warp? YES.. SHOULD they maneuver at warp? Paris and Janeway did not think so, but there are few references to 'warp maneuvering' even in TOS, and remember.. this is the alternate timeline Enterprise.. and those nacelles look very sturdy ^_~.
fantastic animation, espcecially as it's done in free software, I keep playing with blender, but find it so hard, well done for this, I particularly love the light reflection on the ship
Pretty amazing work, it would be interesting to see some kind of short space-battle with this and maybe a klingon cruiser.
Gotta say though, I never really liked this new design for the Enterprise, I way prefer the refit constitution class. But it's still a well-made model on your part.
How wonderful. This video made me getting goosebumps for 32 seconds! It´s brilliant! The slow camera moving, the impressive colors and the NCC-1701 majestically floating through space. It´s great, I like it!
I dunno. I don't think it's inappropriate to have the enterprise warping off into space. The movie wasn't focused on space travel or exploration at all. I think it would be more appropriate to have an ending sequence where the enterprise destroys a bunch of ships with futuristic quantum torpedoes supplied by future spock. And then add in a sassy hateful remark from kirk. That would be more appropriate to the movie.
This is definitely proof of the fact that free rendering software is getting closer to duplicating the quality of commercial systems. Only a matter of time before entire graphics firms start using it as their primary platform. I think the limiting factor is Blender doesn't have great support for Farm Rendering yet.
What I LOVE is this video! That is some killer Blender work! You rock. This clip could have been dropped right into that movie, and it would have been one of the best shots.
Great job! (Just please don't start throwing lens flares into every single shot, like Abrams did. I still feel like I'm tripping from all his flares!)
i wish there was a device that could shove all creative knowledge in your head. i wish i could make 3d modeling and animation, but i cant even paint a proper face on a paper with a pencil.
I used compositing nodes for the lens flares, I did them manually because I dont like the results of the built in glare filter in the compositing-nodes...
Brilliant work on the video. Makes me wish I had that model when I was rendering my recreation :).
Your animation is perfect as always, although the ship does end up facing just a little too far to the left at the end. But then again, making a 1:1 copy of the movie scene wouldn't be much fun ^^.
One other small thing I'd like to suggest is that you turn down the specular texture just a bit.
Hahhah! :P Yep the specular-level is ingredibly bright, i have fixed it but im not sure if im going to upload an updated version because of the ingredibly long rendering times, almost 10 minutes per frame...
@Uuris 10 mins per frame isn't bad. Just let it render overnight! Great work on this shot though! I've been learning a lot about Blender lately and it's really cool to see people like you produce quality work like this with it!
yep, :P I have been modifying madman´s enterprise, just finished the deflector and now moving on to the nacelles, but im not going to uplad any updated versions of this clip because of the enormous render times...
Awesome ! and the right amount of lens flare too

Shame on you for having the ship change direction while at warp. You're breaking canon established by that one stupid ep of voyager.

Is vthat bthe same 'Madman' that has the very cool website of Franz Joseph ships re-done in Abrams-verse style looks?
Can you guys animate a Saladin-class Destroyer? (Named USS Cochise NCC-530)
Just wondering.
