USS Enterprise WIP Test #116 September 19, 2019

Hmm. Click here for the YouTube version. This is the same source material used in test #116 published earlier today, but without the heavy gamma correction applied (just some minor color curve adjustments that I made in the nonlinear editor I’m using to assemble these test videos). The only reason I’m publishing this is to … [Read more…]

USS Enterprise WIP Test #116 September 19, 2019

Just a quickie for today. YouTube: https://youtu.be/AKGQ6o3QExs   Vimeo: The exterior of the secondary hull is finally finished, and I revised (again!) the “Christmas lights” visual effect behind the domes at the front of the warp nacelles. Judging by this test clip, I still need to do a little tweaking on the brightness and color … [Read more…]

USS Enterprise WIP #114

USS Enterprise WIP #114 September 15, 2019

Busy week at work and some personal life stuff, so not a lot of progress this week. Materials for the secondary hull exterior are completed. I’m still working on adjusting the lighting for the interiors that are visible through the portholes; that’s going to take a while (there are a lot of portholes!). I also … [Read more…]

Happy (Belated) Star Trek Day!

USS Enterprise WIP #113 September 8, 2019

I spent the weekend visiting friends I haven’t seen in years, and it wasn’t until I was on the plane home this evening that I realized Sunday was Star Trek day. Fifty-three years ago on September 8, 1966, the little science fiction show that could premiered on NBC. So, here’s a picture to celebrate the … [Read more…]

Now available in giant size

September 4, 2019 by Scott Gammans Leave a Comment

Spent most of yesterday evening tracking down a lighting artifact that was manifesting itself as a leak of “radiation” from the impulse engines. OctaneRender is forgiving, but only to a point… the culprit was a couple of n-gons (polygons with more than four vertices) that were also light emitters. Unfortunately, they were not only projecting … [Read more…]

Happy Labor Day!

September 2, 2019 by Scott Gammans Leave a Comment

Happy Labor Day to U.S. visitors… I’ve been laboring. The Enterprise primary hull is now completely finished top-to-bottom and inside-out. Now it’s onto the rest of the ship, which I hope won’t take all fall the way that summer disappeared while working on the saucer section.

Peek inside Kirk’s quarters

September 1, 2019 by Scott Gammans Leave a Comment

A quickie for the Labor Day weekend: a peek through the portholes into Kirk’s quarters. On the right is his desk, where our gallant captain knocked back more than a few with Bones after a long day at the office. On the left you can see the edge of Kirk’s bunk, where our favorite spacegoing … [Read more…]
