So this is Chris Khun's model of the EnterpriseC/Ambassador class. I wanted to see how easy or hard it is to convert a mesh over to the toon style. Chris works in blender too, so that meant that things like the edge loops were still preserved, which makes it very easy to select edges you wish to mark. That all been said I still have to do some significant rework, the whole saucer is redone and never all the textures had to be reselected and reassigned, but I think it turned out great.



If you are interested here is the same model in the same position, but rendered in cycles, which took over 8 hours to render, the toon image comes in in under 4 minutes, with freestyle edges to boot:

OK, I knuckled down and finsihed off the constellation class. I have been working on a few side ideas, mainly to try and find a way to unify the style, to make it look more cartoon like. I will post the others later. Here though is the finished Cassiopeia:

A small update, these is a video of the viewscreen at warp. It will be used in a full bridge, but getting the screen ready first:

I saw some cool images of jet fighters flying through clouds or over the sea (usually the F14 Tomcat) and was wondering if I could rustle up something similar with some of the models I have, but converted in blender.

First attempt at this. Thinking it might need some grain added or similar to take the image back down.

Sadly ScifiMeshes doesn't do embeds, this link will bring you to a nice image slider that overlays the two images.
