Star Trek Phase 3 Project

Well I know its been awhile since I posted anything up on YouTube but its for a reason. I want to start rendering my animations in HD but the problem is rendering HD on my computer would take me weeks just for a 30sec clip. So that out of the question for now but if you been watching my channel I had been working on a Star Trek project called Phase 3.

Basically Phase 3 was a project to make and model out my own star ship based on star trek but it took longer than expected. It took 3 phases or models until I finally got the results I wanted. This video shows each phase of the project as I progressed. I wanted it to be more entertaining so I put some star trek music and animated the stills to go with the music. I hope ya enjoy until I can release the animated video of the ship in HD.

Music from Star Trek: Music from the Motion Picture composed by Michael Giacchino, which incorporate the original series theme by Alexander Courage) and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Tracks are:

"Enterprising Young Men"
"To Boldly Go"
"End Credits"

Music is copy right under Paramount Pictures.

I envy your talent, sire. I wish I could make stuff like this.

How did you do the hull paneling?

[Mercilless]

@A7XRules4life I modeled each panel. I made a circle and cut it to make it fit perfectly.

[Revkor]

No too much JJ in it.

[Mercilless]

@Revkor What is the problem with JJ Abrams, it stayed true to the design.

[AdamEtheredge]

Killer Blender work. Is that 249 or 2.5?

Anyhow, subbed friended.

[Mercilless]

@AdamEtheredge It is indeed 2.49, as much as I love the new features in 2.5, I pretty much hate everything else about it. I've been using blender since 2.25 so I'm so used to using the same interface for so many years, jumping to 2.5 has been a huge problem for me.

Its like when your right handed, something u always been and then someone comes along and says to write your name with your left hand and it comes out all Fudged up lol.

(Not being an ass or anything just stating my personal opinion)

To answer your question towards Revkor you have to be a Star Trek TOS fan to understand. The JJ's design is all wrong VS the original design. For one thing the JJ version is much bigger so making the refit for the movies is now void. The dish and the neck are too close to the center of the secondary hull. And the nacelles are too far back. Also there was never a torpedo bay in the neck until the movies. I can go on and on!

This vid would be great if it were'nt for that GOD awful, "over the top" JJ Abrams' movie music! Not to mention that hideous Abrams' aproved Enterprise design!

Yecchhhh!

[DubiousDragon]

Out of curiosity why no "aztec" texturing?

[SigersonLTD]

Great work!!! It truly doesn't matter that it looks like something you may have seen before, the fact is, you took the time to do it.

Furthermore, they covered the change in technology/characters/etc. with one line of dialogue by the young Spock in the first JJ Abrams Trek film.

My conclusion, is that you can't deal with it, @Actionguy1

[rctw89]

@Revkor I kinda agree... It was stated as a project "to make and model my own starship based on star trek" but it looks a lot like it was heavily (and I mean very heavily) influenced by the J.J. Abrams version of the Enterprise. I was expecting something a little bit more original.

[TheAsatot]

@Ambarenya13 sorry, that's my lack of english tech speech, i did mean "expands and contracts", just didn't know the wright words) But the slipstream is something like an aritificial wormhole, not a bubble wright?

[Ambarenya13]

@TheAsatot You're getting confused by the fact that I used "slipstream" in the statement. What I described is exactly how warp drive works. The "slipstream" drive, which was not described in my original statement actually breaks through whatever the heck a "quantum barrier" is. Standard warp drive doesn't "attract" or "repel" but expands and contracts spacetime, creating a bubble pathway, as described before. The vessel essentially shortens the metric distance in front, reducing transit time.

[TheAsatot]

@Ambarenya13 A little wrong, the slipstream drive generates the slipstream, it's a different (borg) technology. The warp drive generates a field that bends the space. Attracts in front of the ship and repulses behind it. The simpliest explanation is "the drive is not moving the ship, it's moving the space around it".

[Battle5tarRJC]

@Ambarenya13 Yeah okay mate. I'm not going to quote the tech manual from a fictional ship. My opinion is my own and I'm happy with the new design. However Gabe Kroener's design was better.

[Ambarenya13]

@Battle5tarRJC Actually, the engines only generate a field around the Enterprise. The "propulsion" is actually sub-light speed within the local domain, while from the exterior frame, the ship is superluminal. In essence, the engines aren't really propelling, but creating a slipstream through spacetime. In this case, the size of the ship's engines is likely more a result of a heat or radiation dissipation mechanism, rather than a result of Newtonian propulsion potential.

[Battle5tarRJC]

@dugham94 I completely agree. I have a friend who dispised The Wrath of Khan and then I showed him this movie and he loved it. Would they rather have another Nemesis?

[Battle5tarRJC]

@TheAugment Well those engines are designed to propell an object that size at many times the speed of light so it makes sense for them to be that big.
