Looking good, MKF
it's good one, looking forward for more...
I'll be watching this anyway, very exciting, just like all your other work
The area with the white arrow in some scenes looks like this others its more rounded off. IE chamfer that ahrd edge a few times. I decided on the latter (not in my samples here) The green arrow shows where I farked up by not paying attention to the dvd caps. There is a inset area flowing across here. So Ill either take liberties here or remodel that area with some greif since everything there is chamfered already :O
Anyhoo small update.

Idea detail wise is to allow thois to be used with the Onimaru in close up so Itll have quite a bit of detail. I will prolly texture some of it vs modeling though. But time will tell. I plan on making 2 of these one for the Ambassador era and this one. Which I have yet to decide if I will copy the film one as close as possible or take liberties. Pressure so far is for the latter. Plan is to release this mesh as well. So Im shooting for a sub 200k mesh.
EDIT old OP images moved to allow a OP image in the forum.

The update more of a real update. I started working on the habatat sections of the dock. Note on the original each fo these sections has a outer docking hatch and the windows serve no purpose other than rooms for the staff of the dock.

As one can see Im detailing parts as I go adding in things like the window boxes early on. NOTE as well the maps are from the Balmung, the entirly wrong era and way off scale. These windows are a much diffrent scale than the maps used, its just to give something to look at. As well the window boxes are just adding 3 polies so no worries about adding extra weight to the mesh.

Textures materials are temp.
{{edit}} note the glows are jacked up and the windowboxes are missing some how they escaped the cloning process. Mesh is sitting at 16k polies btw

I have ajustments to make like the fingers need more of a spread towards the mounts and the lights are tapering with them they should be consistant up the arm. As well as a 100 other little things. What looks one way looks totaly diffrent later
In fact, this drydock got me started with modeling in the first place, and by documenting your WIP I may actually be able to build her
Up to 175k of detail is yet to come, and it looks so nice already!

I wont be copying the dock in Nemesis completly but I want to make the outer pars as close as possible as one can by refrencing areas no wider than 15pixels lol
Right now Im oft fixing things where I get to involved in looking at the fan docks. Instead of the ripped video sequence. (having the dock move seems to help a lot in decifering depth to things. >_>
Oh yeah 200k is just a ceiling Im wanting so it MIGHT just come in under that, time will tell though
Cap:
Resampled Cap:
I manualy rip the video data off the dvd in raw rgb then use lancos3 to strech the 704X480 raw data to the proper 866X480, (vdub) since the movie isnt 16X9 itll be letterboxed so the resulting image is about 856X367 or some crap like that.
you can see the artifacting in the larger image in any 45deg high contrast angles. Lancos does a better job than nearest neighbor which that larger image reveals. In the end its a loss of detail than a gain for a image 2X heavier.
Long run I accualy stopped doing caps and am using a corrected aspec video on loop

It's really beautiful, no matter how canon or uncanon it may be
You cearly love TREK (i've been following your various threads with much envy) so why do you dismiss it by putting 'crap' in the title.
P.S. Love the dry dock.
It's so people will say 'it's not crap is amazing', and inflate his ego!
Good work as alway's!
Looking good either way :thumb: Am waiting to see how you tackle the the docking clamp thingamabobber that attaches to the ship (IE the thing that is stuck to the back of Big E in the movie.)

Im not liking the canon plate bits. I know the materials are all off a bit (mostly to allow one to see the diffrences) I have started diverging a bit in how the main hull windows are set and by showing some sort of channel thatthe outer arms sits in. NOW I havent decided if I want to make the armsslide up and down the hull ormake it so that they clamp on in only certian areas. IE every segment etc. Latter makes the most sence so if I do I might remove the grooves from the hnner hull. I also inset the "deflector" looking thing seen on the docks nose. They could be fancy double deck windows but it clearly is a diffrent colour than the rest of the windows on the thing. It matches the glowy bars on the sides of the fingers more than it did the windows.
The crap is in refrence to it being my crap. IE like stuff? shrug. And well this thread will fill with it in time since Ill keep all the small prj here. So far its just a dock.
