[Ferocinator]

Very awesome, what you've acomplished. x-]

[RabidMunkey]

Awesome attention to detail.

[markaitchbee]

*Swallows his heart*

Thank you, Mr. Scott.

[HazarD4ReaL]

this is INCREDIBLE CG

[fightdirector]

Holy shamoly you're good... 

[morval99]

CG Animation as it should be.

[eagledocf15]

Absolutely fantastic!! Well done Bravo Bravo

[englishdragon88]

brilliant actually made mr think it was real epic cgi

[DaveHFX]

Absolutely awesome modeling job, and you have a real eye for setting up the scenes and mood! Excellent!!

[PrfMoriarty]

Love it... especially the welcome surprise of the Enterprise warping off into the great beyond. Nicely done!

[FashTurbo]

I'm so glad you didn't use the crappy TMP warp effects great stuff

[scottishandy76]

Damn, mate. That is gorgeous! Superb work.

[holonat]

woah...

[Fr3ddeh]

Genious!

[marort1959]

Brilliant! Well done! No need to upgrade. Beautifully executed. Better than the CBS CGI that was done for the original series. Thanks from this old Trekker!

[agroppe]

WOW, Friend!

You needn't even think about doing another leaving drydock - this is nothing short of brilliant and spellbindingly beautiful!

Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

[timetravelhyman88]

this is very good very nice indeed.

[MrSpockJr]

This is spectacular! I salute you!

[sovereign001]

This is just silly. This looks even way better than the movie stuff! Great job!

[thefinalfrontier1701]

Wow. I took 3 weeks nonstop for your computer to render this? Amazing.

[mylex67]

@thefinalfrontier1701

The rendering was scene by scene, the rendering of one scene was between 10-15 hours so you can render it over night.

[MadMichigander1313]

@thefinalfrontier1701 The rendering is done frame by frame, usually motion pictures run at roughly 30+ frames per second to get smooth motion. Take that, and the fact you're likely generating frames of 1900 x 1200 (at least) with 24-bit color, and it is easy to understand the magnitude of computer power involved. An high-end PC today can generally outperform a supercomputer of 10 years ago.

[filigrant]

i like the voyager jump best...the tng one has too bright warp flares...and the tng one is a bit too old school :D

[thefinalfrontier1701]

@filigrant Don't you mean TOS one is a bit too old school?

[DCola]

awesome work :)

[deltanalliance]

That is just awesome

I hate to say this though but at 3:22 the lighting of the scene does not match the sun's position at all :P

[myriad1973]

@deltanalliance Actually it does. Its Nemesis. : )

[myriad1973]

Mylex, AirportChris, James Royal, Kevin Riley, and Gabriel Koerner need to get together to do a project.

[deltanalliance]

@myriad1973 YES. Totally, agreed!

[Destructor111]

Absurdly beautiful. How can it *look* so sumptuous? Is there a lot of very sublte post-processing going on?

[mylex67]

@Destructor111

Only some little color correction and diffusion to get a movie look

[Xonx68]

Aww no little somersaulting spacesuited technician waving as the ship leaves drydock? Oh well! Still looks fantastic!

Thumbs up and faved.

[staven512]

I love the lighting!

[JamesL631]

Third times the charm. I say an excellent job. Weary good sir. Brought a tear to me eye.

[skyblazer7]

Two big thumbs up. Loved the shuttle flying ahead of the big E on it's way out. You switched from Mars flyby to the traditional Jupiter/Io/Europa flyby. Nice. Wonder how hard it would be to add an erupting volcano to Io for a bit of added flare.

[sincerement]

My english is poor but i'll try to tell my commentary. It's amazing, you got the talent to do a better thing but you don't have the machine for it. I mean, show your work to the production company . Keep on my friend, my eyes can recognyze the professionnal thing, and you have it.

[DBro65]

I certainly hope the execs at Paramount are taking notes.

[myriad1973]

Attention Paramount or ILM: Give this man a job! : )

[sm6175]

Beautiful job, Mylex!!! You can't get anymore perfect, it's against the laws of perfection!

[holodock]

The most beautiful part about this video is that it actually takes care about timing from the actual TMP. I mean the "departure view" , "viewer ahead" commands were perfectly timed with the displayed scenes (looking at Earth while departing) etc.

[xsonicsd]

mylex you did again! Great as ever :-)

This one of my fav. scenes and Star Trek I, has one of the best soundtracks anyways. Thanks alot... :-D

[Alieninvader1970]

i think the whole thing, And all these vids u have done so far, Rock!

keep up the incredible work.

[Teletran35]

WOW What an improvement over the origional Its beautiful

[vetchris54]

Amazing! Perfect job as usual. One suggestion :) would like to see the dock worker in there doing his flip as she is leaving the dock :)

[tinytottles]

Bloody Beautiful!!!!!!



[captjami]

Impressive !!The enterprise shots close to Jupiter would make great wallpapers !!

[xmorgan1987]

Outstanding! You've surpassed yourself yet again.

[smileygabe22]

Why hasn't Paramount hired you to do remake all the scenes of every movie!

I think I speak for everyone of you could remake a scene, either from Star Trek 2 the Wrath of Khan or Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country.

[myriad1973]

@smileygabe22 I have to wholeheartedly agree with you on that one. If he can get those kind of results with a desktop computer, can you imagine what it would look like with a more powerful workstation made for CGI?

[eagledocf15]

Outstanding job!!! Very well done.

[TheStarshipdriver]

I was just wondering, was this hard to do? I have Blender and am a Beginer. I represent a chapter of starfleet the International Star Trek Association we are the USS Christine Hoagland NCC-1678. how hard would it be to create this same short film (Animation?) using our name and NCC Number? the christine hoagland is named for my younger sister, now deceased. we recently did get some very nice images of this class of starship wit our info on it from a friend. I would love to learn this!!!!!!

[sabrewolf1978]

Nicely done, my friend. 

[BillyNoMate]

Very AWESOME!! :)

[craigwheele]

Excellent job! Care to re-do Star Trek V's special effects?

[bauer1701]

Been a fan since I saw your first attempt at this scene. With this latest attempt you've surpassed even your high standards, making a classic even more classic!! Please Paramount hire Mylex - this is how the Enterprise is, was and always should be.

[andolmar]

Needs more lens flare xD

Just kidding, I think this is really awesome, I'm a huge fan of your work. Is there going to be a video with this sequence and the first part together? I'd love to watch the full scene all together :D

[airwolfmattyb]

Stunning as usual!! Can't wait for the next one. Perhaps 'stealing the enterprise' from Star Trek 3.

[PMKTheWon]

You ad live at that end, but still that was awesome! I would love to see you, CJCA, VideoSpaceFX, and Tlwtobias go ahead to head on a scene. Or just make one epic movie!

[filigrant]

amazing...but the warp trail should be straight line not curved...just fot the future :D

[mylex67]

@filigrant

The warp trail is curved because the Ent is flying a slight curve, straight line is too simple ;-)

[DBro65]

@mylex67 - I like the curved warp trail. Very impressive and tight.

[filigrant]

@mylex67 i still think it should be straight cuz warp has no left right up or down...it always goes straight...

[mylex67]

@filigrant

For the next jump I'll use a linear trail ok ;-)

[filigrant]

@filigrant just so u know if u ever watched star trek warp never goes in curves...there's a reference to it in st:voyager where paris says that first thing u learn about warp is faster than light and no left no right

[RedSpar9]

@filigrant The curve adds to the effect. Don't change a thing!

[sticky170]

By god george i think he got it.

Very nice mate. Awesome work. Just one little detail. The left nacelle warp glow at the end .

[CJCA915]

@sticky170 The left nacelle warp glow?

[sticky170]

@CJCA915 pause at 3:30

[CJCA915]

@sticky170 At 3:30, all I see is the big effect that he gets from using Ky_Trail...

[SGTBizarro]

@sticky170 It's correct. In TMP, when the Enterprise was about to enter warp, the glow effect was only on the inward-facing side of each nacelle, so from the angle in this video one wouldn't see the glow on the port nacelle.

[sticky170]

@SGTBizarro Check, nice detail

[lew82]

plainly EPIC

[MrHoppers002]

wow. 5 stars
