Basically, I'm just fooling around with all of the free use models we have available to us on BCF. I would like to eventually convert some of my work into BC (or possibly Legacy,) but for now, only pretty pictures.

First off we have Anduril's Asia class. I've only just begun work on her. There have been quite a few lightmap tweaks, and I plan on doing a lot more to her. Right now I've made up a rough bussard transition from ENT to TOS, but I am very unsatisfied with the results.

Pics removed: Please see latest post.

Last Update before bed. All dorsal blinkers are modeled in and animated (video later this week.) Most registry lights are in. I think I may rebuild parts of her as she's looking a bit dated. C&c welcome, as always.

that looks awesome. have a cookie

Well, I decided to try my hand at modeling today. The Galaxy's warp core seemed simple enough, so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

Edit: Some more work before bed.

I like the warp cores. Reminds me of the TNG Galaxy Class warp core. The connies are awesome too. You see the plasma inside the warp nacelles from the little window ports at the tops. Great tweek.

It just one core, it's a wip.

The reason it reminds you of the galaxy core is because it is. Here's one last update.

Photo update with a video showing how the animated light rigging works on the way.
EDIT: Here's the video. Sorry it's kind of dark. :?

I really hate to triple post in my own thread, but it seems that no one has anything to say, but me.

Here's an HD render of my core in action. It is a .mov so you will need quicktime installed. You will get a better feel for the animation if you set quicktime to loop the video. Enjoy. (c&c always appreciated, even if you are just knocking my work.)

Is this the thing that took you 2 days to render? Wow....

Anyway, very pwetty. Anything else next on your list?

Kirk · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2009, 08:19:56 AM »

Yup, this took about a day and a half to render. My eventual plan is to build all of engineering.

Dalek · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2009, 08:40:13 AM »

Predicted render time...5 weeks?

Well if Krik is smarter next time and only renders frames he actually needs, it'll go a lot quicker

Or, less stubborn, so when I point out that if he cancels it half way through and restarts it properly, it'll still be done in half the time, he actually listens and does it

Well, with my discovery of finalRender, I've started a side project, remastering the BC Intro. Here's the first few seconds that I have started. The audio/video is slightly out of sych, but this will be fixed later down the road. Enjoy for now!

Cookie sir!!!!

Nice work Kirk!

King Class Scout · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:42:30 PM »

the only thing I'd say on the remaster, here, is increase the flicker rate. mabey have the bussard do a "brownout"

Dalek · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:44:48 PM »

The bussard shouldn't "brownout". It didnt get damaged.

Kirk · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2009, 05:54:31 PM »

The starboard bussard is at a lower power level than the port, it just isn't all that noticeable. I will see about increasing the flicker, but it seems to me that by this point, it's pretty much down for the count.

I seen it when I first viewed it. Just out of curiosity, are you gonna remake the entire video? Or just the repair scene?

Kirk · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2009, 09:33:13 PM »

I'm experimenting with explosions right now. If I can figure it out, I'll be remaking everything, including the win/lose videos.
