star trek XI teaser inspired projext

[baz1701]

Seeing the teaser trailer, I thought I'd give it a go at modeling the dry dock the Enterprise was built in

The intention is to animate the launch of the old girl

[baz1701]

added some textures to the dock and added 2 connies under construction

NICE!! Have a cookie.

I'm not sure that is the shape of the dock...
(not that you see much of it on the trailer anyways  :?)

but it's cool...
I recalled Star Wreck 6, the Potkustart leaving earth on vertical take-off

name the other two connies the Yorktown and the Lexington... the Yorktown, at least, was said to be sister ship of the Enterprise.

I've deliberately left the other saucers un-built at the point of the hull names (don't want to get bogged down with re-texturing the Enterprise) They are only background any way and will not feature to much in the over all film.

BTW I have started animating the film now.

question:
are those shadow maps? what settings did you use?

[baz1701]

the ships and the dock have there own lights but the main keylight is a Omni light set to 0.7 and off yellow-white with shadow maps on to simulate dusk. Rendering is 3D max defaults.

You sure do these things fast! O.o;

[intrepid90]

your work is incredible (fast)
but somehow noone responds

Well this project is off topic in the sense it is nothing to do with the game.

One thing I have to do it finish what I start I have 5 projects on the go at the moment!!
