More of the Machowisiki..Macho waski... whatever class...
This thing is a pain.. the shield grid is just.. Whereever! doens't follow the lines of the ship..Grrrr... want to take the 3d guy who done this and break his thumbs.. Owell..
But close to done. Needs windows, and the nacelles are only 80% done.. or so..
With the research I did meshweavers looks spot on to the show model. With the pics, it says Maya to lightwave converted, the show uses Maya as far as I know. So his stuff is converted show assets, so very accurate. To my knowledge. The ones that don't say converted is his own builds. But all the disco inferno ones have that converted tag.
Hi All!
have 2 things for you, First is another ship from Atolm, a Klingon Scout ship.
Pretty simple matter, made it all yesterday, just need to cut in a few details and it'll be all done!
2nd, I went back to the Emmet Till, been futzing with this one for awhile, decided to go back to it.. I'm a horrible concept artist, detail work trickles out like maple syrup in december.. But still at it, not to much left I think, just cut in all the windows, few details to go!
And.. New build!
Someone on shapeways wanted a 1400 Constellation class.. so since I had a Tmp Saucer and Nacelles already done, should be a quick bash. Started on this monday, maybe 8 hours in.
Almost done actually.. only part I don't have is the bottom greeble area.. I can't find good references for that area. Looks like another valkyrie tacked on like the top, but I can't see to well. If anybody has any refs or ideas whats there, please!
Meshweaver has a site that he uploads the orthos and shots for the Eaglemoss magazines, sometimes even he builds the ships. He gets the ships from the show and retextures it from maya to Lightwave. http://www.meshweaver.com/eaglemoss--trek-little-ships-7.html
So started work on the Malachowski class!
have a few hours in, got most blocked out, and most of the lower hull detailed out, so continueing on!
Okay, a bit of a photo dump, I kind of just do what I feel like, so, the past couple of weeks we have
1. Suliban cell ship. Great as I only had to make only 1/4 of the darn thing! he he.
2. Suliban Stealth ship, again, only had to make 1/4 of it and the copy/paste. quite a detail hog!
3. Okay, this is a WIP in the real sense. the U.S.S. Emmett Till!
the Emmet Till is a WIP, the nacelles are done, i think, and the enginering is smoothed, waiting for detail, so still figuring out the Saucer and Pylons and the double neck. Really looking at the Enterprise E for inspiration. More soon!
So!
More!
Okay, bit more details in the Warp, and the Navigational deflector area, and started placing the windows,.. the bridge window is 3 meters tall.. huh..
Okay, I done some back of the napkin math and came up with 2 different lengths for the Cerritos.
1st is using the MSD from the first episode. Taking a 4 meter deck height comes to round about 450 Meters. 280m Saucer Length.
2nd one uses the windows from the exterior. Same 4 meter deck height, comes to 680 Meters in length. 420m Saucer length.
3rd one is the somewhat accepted 3.5 deck height, and that is 575m length
Exterior one is well thought out with the windows lining up nicely on the outside.
So untill someone "official" comes out as a length, then I'll err on the 575 Meter length for my 3d stuff.
So.. Here it is!
Going off the Msd that has a side and a mostly top view, and a whole lot of screen caps ( Happy animation is well lit! )
so this is my "Best Guess" at blocking it out.
Saucer has all the bits on it, need to figure out the shield grid and sensors etc.
rest is still working on. Any info or tidbits would be most appreciated!
