As mentioned in my thread I just found out these are shipping. I try to get this up during pre-order but dunno seems they went out early this year?
Been over 7 months since I last looked at this lol. This was done way back when I was having to abandon mental ray and the version of 3ds max I was using. Anyhow
link to the
calendar and thus the sample of the image.

Another great picture.
I noticed that there are not any Kurtzman or JJ trek pictures in the calendar. do you know the reason for that? (Not that I am a fan of those designs.)
I had planned to model one of the Discovery ships a while back but all sorts of crap got in the way and likely I would adulterate it anyhow! Well enough so that I could use it with my own assets from that time frame.
I always add little hints about what I am working on. I was inspired by the end credits in the JJ films for this one. Probably the best part of those films for me, as they were typical way out there book cover like scenes.
It is really cool to see more 2d work in there we have a cutaway and a "MSD" and of course John Eaves paintings, and one image is a composition of one of Bill Krause's models. (not sure how many of the other elements are physical)
I thought it was something like that.
I am really digging those cut-out picture. Would love the get them as posters.
So far they have been centerline in the calendar so you could always de staple them to have a 24X12 mini poster. (least for the cutaway images heh)
Could probably push 36" lengthwise on 8k. Depends on the printer I guess.
Dunno if they ever plan to do another update book. They do not look to be selling as well as before. Some people still whine about the formatting. I mean it is mostly just a wall hanging vs a real usable mark-able calendar.
I know Douglas E. Graves (deg3d) went to work for him (at least for a shot time, I think Douglas is now working with a different FX house. I have not spoken to him in a few years so not sure.) after be introduce to Doug thought the same way you where introduced.
Thanks
