Not dead yet!

Shuttlecraft Winfield performs a high-speed exit from the Starship Enterprise shuttle bay

Get ready for the understatement of the century: It’s been a weird 18 months. But I’m still here, and this project ain’t dead yet! This is a still of the shuttlecraft Winfield making a hasty exit from the Enterprise hangar deck. The deck sports its shortened-length so that the back wall and the enclosed elevated … [Read more…]

A little closer…

March 2, 2021 by Scott Gammans Leave a Comment

Getting a little closer to the look I’ve been searching for. The pig smells his truffles and is zeroing in on his reward. Other than a slew of lighting adjustments, this update has several minor (and not-so minor) modifications to the model/scene configuration: Adjusted the gamma on the star background to help the foreground blend … [Read more…]

The Starship Enterprise prepares to fire February 23, 2021

Nothing much new here; just didn’t want Flyin’ Ted Cruz as the cover image anymore 😉

USS Enterprise Engineering Section Interior Detail #4 July 19, 2020

Enhance… …zoom in and enhance… …enhance… …zoom in and enhance. Yeeeah, I may have gone a bit overboard with the interiors.

USS Enterprise Lighting Test #130-B July 18, 2020

After a long hiatus for COVID-19 and playing Nurse Chapel for my better half, I’m back at work on this project. Just for a little re-familiarization with LightWave and OctaneRender, I whipped up this test video using my Enterprise model, which I haven’t touched since November 2019. There are some subtle changes in lighting and … [Read more…]

USS Constellation WIP #129 1 May 2020

Just a quick check-in. I’m still not back-back and working on this project, but I haven’t touched the models since early March and I wanted to just do a quickie render to keep the muscle-memory intact. More to come when I’m able to get back to this full-time.

Starship Constellation WIP #129 December 4, 2019

I’ve been bad about publishing updates, but not because I’m slacking off, I assure you! Here’s a work-in-progress image of the Starship Constellation from a video I hope to have finished in time for the U.S. Christmas holiday.

The Starship Constellation

November 13, 2019 by Scott Gammans Leave a Comment
The Starships Enterprise and Constellation meet in happier times.

Work continues apace on the starship Constellation. The Connie has haunted my dreams ever since I was a seven-year-old boy staring transfixed at the Trinitron whenever the local TV station reran “The Doomsday Machine”. How could a giant starship be wrecked like that?! Impossible! But as I got older, I started noticing how, er, undetailed the … [Read more…]

USS Enterprise Initial Modeling Completed

Frame grab from WIP video #123

She’s ready to fly! The initial round of modeling on the Starship Enterprise is finished, so this will be the last test video of the model for the foreseeable future. There are a couple of minor tweaks needed that I’ve noted in this video, but nothing significant (some texturing errors on the secondary hull ventral … [Read more…]
