Again, absolutely beautiful. Really interesting to see what the model looks like without textures. You know, details that are modeled vs textured.

Thank you, itA’s great.
I love this ship

great detail though i am sure texturing could improve it. as a schematic type image it is excellent. it is also well shaded to pick out the modelled details clearly but i think that from angles other than the top and bottom(which look very nice) the ship is a little bit ugly.

It may be a little bit ugly, but it is the approved design, ie: this is what the execs decided upon...and this is the studio model..

I personally like it.

I loveit myself.

Here is a suggestion. Place a Kelvin type flat saucer on that secondary hull and modified nacelles.

The design is the studio approved design and no changes can be made ... sorry

Chris2005

Yea, that's the problem Andrew Probert told me, any design changes are never at the discretion of the designer, it's at the studio's or stuff that gets winged by the FX department... for example, the Enterprise D, he wanted the bussard's color more like TOS, he hates the cherry red color they now canonically have... or the phaser coming from the torpedo bay in TNG's "Darmok" which the Okuda's said would be fixed for the remastered episode...

It's a shame really...

srspicer

Very nice!
This is D. Drexler design and I think it connects Enterprise to TOS S.Trek perfectly.

So I haven't seen all your posts I guess but what do you mean the execs have approved it? What execs? Is this actually going to happen or something? Also, what exactly is the story with the ship? They return to earth and get a new ship or is this supposed to be like the motion picture where it's refitted?

Dark Saber

Right now it is a netflix campaign. We hope it gets enough steam and they pay for a fifth season like Arrested Development did. And it is the same ship just with a refit.

Yaric

Do they really think Paramount/CBS is going to sell rights to star trek right in the midst of their billion dollar money machine in the theaters?

Dark Saber

who knows, but One can hope. Trek belongs on the small screen and hopefully one day maybe it will find it back there.

CBS/Parmount doesn't have to sell them the rights. Netflix can purchase a license, which will allow them to produce the series. That's how book publishers, toy companies, game makers, etc. get their products out there. CBS/Paramount gets their cut and the rights stay with CBS/Paramount. It's a win/win scenario.

VK08

And one that it looks like it may be working.... We have a discussion with CBS Legal tomorrow..

Dark Saber

very cool.

Well as I understand how things sit, Paramount has sole control over the movie half of the franchise, where as CBS has the series half. Without talking to Google, one is not sure Paramount has any further say in any potential TV series. I, however, am not even 95% positive on this. Been following the netflix campaign as closely as facebook permits though and love the look of the refits, though I have wondered how do shuttles get out of the ship now?

Ian Keldon

^That's what I've been wondering too.

Still, nice job!

I'm not sure about the design yet but maybe it'll start to grow on me. Are there any plans to make some videos for the Season 5 campaign?

A little nit-pick, on the aft view the ships seems to be a little angled to the right, rather than completely centered on the axis; this is most noticeable on the nacelles.

I actually sent out a feeler to Pierre today to see if he would be willing to work on a video for it, considering I have very piss poor animation skills, I know that Rob Bonchune is very willing so I think between the three of us we con come up with something.

This design is a very nice connection to the constitution as the design of the NX-01 seemed odd as to how that connection was going to be made, design wise. The thread seems to follow the Akira and Steamrunner, but this proposed design, makes that connection in a clever way...well done.
