Hey, everybody! It's been a while.
I posted this over on the TrekBBS the other day, but thought some of you would like to see it, as well.
I know I said, back in the version 5 thread, that I wasn't going to do this. But, I've been working on a project lately, where I've learned a lot... mainly about subsurf modifiers, which I had no idea existed. It's helped out my chunky modeling, alot.
For some of you that have downloaded and looked at the previous model, you'll be happy to know, that I'm trying to get away from using booleans all the time. So far, I haven't used a single one.
This is really meant to be an update to my version of this ship... it's probably not going to be 100% screen accurate, since I am keeping some of the changes I made in the previous couple of versions, mainly like the thinner neck in the front.
What do ya'll think?
More later...

Would like to see you model something outside of the Trek uni one day!
The model is looking great so far. As ever, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project.
I really ought to build more stuff outside of Star Trek, but since the new movie has come out, nothing else is really got my attention as much.
More updates soon...
Will you work over the transition from the engineering to the pylons? It needs to be more smooth.
I got it as smooth as I could... and while I was doing it, I kind of liked the little lip that I ended up with, so I kept it.
iAâm so curious ^^
I got a ton of the saucer done, and refined a few more details, here and there. It's starting to look like a ship.
Hopefully I'll get some more done soon... things have started to slow down quite a bit, finally.
Have fun, guys...

It's basically just a much cleaner model... I had no idea about subsurf modifiers on the last one, and I relied way too much on Booleans. So far, I haven't used a boolean yet... my goal is to only use the booleans to cut the windows... nothing else.

Mine will never be quite that good... my main goal here, is to have a much cleaner model to release in the end... I aim to have the best released model, anyway. At this point, I think I'm competing with myself, though... no one else has released one since the movie came out.
Hopefully more updates soon...
Your modeling is very best ...
Live long and prosper
Glad to hear you're planning to release this when it's finished, because it looks great so far. If I may ask a favor...would it be possible to release a .3ds version of it as well? I've downloaded MAX versions of your previous model, but they won't upload because I think you're using a more recent version of MAX than I am. It would be much appreciated.
What do you guys think?
I didn't know about it, but there's a vessel simulator on the Bluray set... does anyone have screencaps of it? I have the three that were on TrekMovie, but I was hoping someone around here had some more.
Have fun, guys...
It's probably 75% modeled, just detailing really, is all that's left, except for the deflector dish and the impulse Engine. Still have to cut the windows, too...

As much as I love TobiasRichter's model of this ship, his texturing is definitely different from how the ship looks in the movie. I'm going to be going for the simpler look, to start with, anyway.
TrekCore has some nice HD screencaps, from the whole movie.

In what way?
Your textures seem to be MORE detailed, and the colors stand out more. The ship looks more subtle, in the movie, to me, anyway... even though it may just be because of the way they lit it.
I hope I didn't cause any offense... it's awesome that you're looking at my thread.
EDIT: I have just come across screencaps of the DVD Extras, on the BluRay set... Tobias, your model matches that one, almost 100%, so it must simply be the way they lit it for the movie.

I uploaded screenshots from the BR extra's, graciously shared by rustythe1 with everyone at Foundation3D.

The link appears to be broken, Chris. Tried 3 times and all I got was the "Internet Exlporer Cannot Display the Web Page" message.
Use Firefox. It's better.
