Daedalus-class

evil_genius_180 · February 21st, 2007, 09:33 PM

I haven't done a WIP over here in a while, so I might as well show my latest project. It's a Daedalus-class from Star Trek with a few custom design changes.

I started on this the day before yesterday.

Some older shots.

Another render I just made. I didn't have this part on for the other renders because of the large shadow it casts on the other part.

FRACK ME, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU...

Wow... um...wow. Great detail so far.

evil_genius_180 · February 21st, 2007, 10:21 PM

Uh, thanks? (I think)

p.s. Cargile · February 21st, 2007, 11:11 PM

Nice detail. Any thoughts on the function of the "telescoping arms", and why the middle one is reversed?

evil_genius_180 · February 22nd, 2007, 08:13 AM

Dude, I don't know what any of this crap does. I just started adding details.

February 22nd, 2007, 10:11 AM

Thats the fun part...

Thomas P · February 22nd, 2007, 12:03 PM

I really think this would benefit some additional detailing.

The deflector assembly looks great. Looks very - very promising.

Lee · February 22nd, 2007, 08:19 PM

Hey I think I have seen this before. Great work on the details so far

evil_genius_180 · February 22nd, 2007, 08:57 PM

Thanks, guys. The large circular thing with all the crap inside in front isn't the navigational deflector, it wouldn't work because the section in front would block the force field thing it sends out that knocks meteors and crap out of the way. I figure that's the main sensor array. That was what Matt Jeffries had what would become the navigational deflector marked as on his Enterprise design, a sensor. (Just random facts thrown to make me sound like I know what I'm doing.

)

Update: Added some stuff to the back.

p.s. Cargile · February 22nd, 2007, 11:28 PM

The details of the sensor are great because they aren't familiar and look like future tech. The items I pointed out above look a little too familiar like hydraulic actuators on cranes or back-hoes.

Lee · February 23rd, 2007, 01:40 AM

some really sweet details... your getting REALLY good at this.. Nice!

evil_genius_180 · February 23rd, 2007, 09:15 PM

I started on the front section today.

February 23rd, 2007, 09:54 PM

More... must have more.

February 24th, 2007, 02:56 AM

Probably the best one I've seen, better than the one in the Star Trek Fact Files.

Lee · February 24th, 2007, 07:00 AM

wow...

evil_genius_180 · February 24th, 2007, 09:08 AM

Thanks, guys. I don't have to work today, so there should be lots of time to work on this. :evil:

evil_genius_180 · February 24th, 2007, 07:40 PM

OK, I spent most of the afternoon building and rebuilding the navigational deflector and housing until I came up with a keeper. I have the housing done but there's more to be done on the deflector itself. I also added the rcs thrusters and weapons and cut the necessary holes for the bridge and docking ports.

More work on the nav deflector.

February 25th, 2007, 12:15 AM

Great work. Can't wait for more.

Lee · February 25th, 2007, 12:40 AM

Thats great work!

skyhawk223 · February 25th, 2007, 01:09 PM

I love the level of detail here. Keep it up.

evil_genius_180 · February 25th, 2007, 01:34 PM

Thanks, everyone. I should be back to work on this a little later, I got distracted with something else.

Thomas P · February 26th, 2007, 10:45 AM

Crips. Nice progress.

evil_genius_180 · February 26th, 2007, 09:14 PM

Thanks. Work will be progressing... sometime. I'm still distracted an- OOH, look a butterfly!!

*wanders off*

Lee · February 27th, 2007, 05:23 PM

*Chases EG down with big fish..* Back to work... I need my incredably detailed Trek fix!

ghoyle1 · February 28th, 2007, 10:49 AM

Like it all so far, especially the navigational deflector.

evil_genius_180 · February 28th, 2007, 10:48 PM

I started on the nacelles earlier. I spent a while deciding on an arrangement that wouldn't be too dull for the details in the inside grooves. I still have a lot of work to do on these, but work has resumed.

Lee · February 28th, 2007, 10:57 PM

YEA!... looks good bro!...

March 2nd, 2007, 10:06 AM

Still looking good.
