Baz1701 WIP's - Semi retired.

[CyAn1d3]

This time of year, with all the alcohol, you never know. :p

hwuuh?

 

as ive learned, the revisits always turn out better!
glad your taking another crack at this baz!!

[baz1701]

Another update.

[Shadowknight1]

Looks really good,  only a couple very minor nitpicks, one of which I mentioned on the previous page.

EDIT: Well don't yell at me but I'm gonna go over these nitpicks.  These are ones I've noticed other than the neck that I mentioned earlier.  The aft section of the cowl on the warp engines is squared off when it's oval-shaped.  Also, you have the "grid" things going around the saucer edge connecting with the impulse engine deck.  It doesn't.  It stops with a slant, like this: ==\ <=> /==

Wow you've come far!! Beautiful detail. Have a cookie.

[Lord Tribble]

I'd tap that. :drool:

Other than what shadowknight has already pointed out with the neck, nacelles and impulse area, There's only one thing standing out to me;

The bits next to the deflector appear to be pulling in too much at the top, Judging by the bluray bonus features both edges should be more parallel;



Is it just me or does the new enterprise look kinda awesome without a deflector dish that sticks out?

And dare I ask...canon size?

[baz1701]

I see where your coming from with the front but the line you drew is the inner connection the front fin is straight.

As for the neck I looked at it and changing it would mean rebuilding the neck so I'll live with it.

Also like my previous JJprise this will be canon size though personally think it is stupid.

[baz1701]

Here you go a close up render.



And a beauty shot.

[tiqhud]

only one thing to say  :drool: :woot: , Oh wait that's two [oh well]

[Jb06]

Loving the detail, just hope the textures match the standard aswell!

What's the poly count so far?

[baz1701]

Not that I'm counting on this one but last check she was a tad over 45K

[Shadowknight1]

As for the neck I looked at it and changing it would mean rebuilding the neck so I'll live with it.

j/k, rebuilding an entire part of the ship for one bit would be crazy.  Like I said, these are minor nitpicks.  Same with the engine cowls.  The shield grid connecting to the impulse deck though...that should be easy enough, right?  Would be nice if someone from ILM would be nice enough to post up the external schematics of the ship in an orthographic format.  This and Wiley's will probably be the best we can get until either someone gets the actual orthos from ILM or rip the model of the ship from the Star Trek game coming next April.

Yeah, because the games have always given us accurate ships. :p

Loving this model, Baz. I can't wait to see what you do next year when we get some new ships in Darkness. :p

Considering that they're using ILM and Paramount's assets, I'd say it'll be pretty darn accurate.  Still not sure how the space battles are going to work in that game.

[Vortex]

Screw next year, im excited THIS YEAR!

   STUPID TIME JUMP!!!

[baz1701]

more progress.

[Shadowknight1]

Yay, the Enterprise has a deflector dish now!

[baz1701]

Well since I have been nominated for this ship thought I'd better show some progress.

[Shadowknight1]

Definitely an improvement over the stock version

[Phoenix Bondi]

I think its missing the stock purple other wise, Epic job as awesome man
