ISS Enterprise's Various A2 Pics

[Starfox1701]

Nice work, which Galaxy you using?

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Well, hello there strangers! I'd be surprised if anyone remembers me by this point, I've been gone from here so long.

I just wanted to give an update on things going on with me and my Trekkie life. For one, I'm FINALLY doing Star Trek art again, because now that I haven't done it in so long, it's actually fun to do once more!

These two I did in the last while were really fun to do, and I really love how they came out.

Spoiler: Slice The Neck

Spoiler: Cause and Effect

In other news, I had a serious discussion about my fan-fic, Unending Frontier, with members of the Starfleet International fan club. We discovered quite quickly that the way events progressed in the fic would be highly unrealistic, even for Star Trek. I have therefore decided to go FULL REBOOT on the fic, starting again from the ground up with it. Once I get back into the swing of writing, it shall be known as:

Star Trek:The Twilight Frontier

Spoiler: Rebirth; The Twilight Frontier

Stay tuned guys, hope you like the stuff as always, and hope to be back around soon!

 

[Majestic]

Nice to see you back, hope to see you around regularly again.

 

[Hellkite]

Cause and Effect look really good

 

[Adm_Z]

Nice to see you back ISS! The pics look great, I look forward to more.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I saw this pic in your DA gallery, it surely looks great .

Always awesome to see new awesome pics been made.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

I've got four new ones up.

Firstly, we got the Enterprise-D flying low through some clouds. Why? I don't rightly know, but this was a test of greenscreening a starship onto a background instead of putting it ingame. I feel it worked, what about you?

Spoiler: Fly High

Next, a creative spin of the final shot of the Enterprise-D from the actual TV series.

Spoiler: ... And The Sky's The Limit

Thirdly, a shot of the now completed starship for my fan-fic reboot, the U.S.S. Dragonfire. I took it upon myself to texture the registry onto her this time, and I'm kinda 50/50 with the results. Thoughts?

Spoiler: By the Twilight's Grace

Lastly, I decided to put a creative spin on the cover of one of my favorite Star Trek books; Dark Mirror

Spoiler: Dark Mirror

Enjoy!!!

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Although I have seen those pics in DA, it is great that you post them here for all of us to see . They are very cool pics and I cannot stop admiring the ammount of time and work to get the proper angles and effects.

Keep it up!.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Well, I've started going to people for actual feedback when I create my shots, because as it turns out, that can really help me learn as to what I'm doing right and wrong with stuff. It's made the last few shots I've done look exceedingly good as opposed to what I used to do.

Here's what I got;

Spoiler: The Light Will Shine...

And a proper cover for my rebooted fanfiction, the Twilight Frontier

Spoiler: Twilight Frontier

 

[Rifraf]

WOW, ISS, The Light Will Shine one looks stunning. Beautiful. Used to seeing clouds on and Earth-like planet that are white so the reddish ones you have a different, but the whole shot is wow.

 

[Majestic]

Yes, some really spectacular work there mate.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Welp, I promised that I'd put the commissions here, so I have. They are watermarked since I'm kinda paranoid of people stealing my art for their own stuff. I don't want it done here since I got paid for this.

Spoiler: Commissions

 

[Majestic]

Looking good mate. And need to worry about theifs here I'll squash them if they try. that's if Hellkite or Kat don't beat me to it.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

This isn't a full out teaser since my other thread shows what I'm doing, but I did threw this together in preparation for her coming release...

Spoiler: Gal-X Power

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Apologies for double post.

We got 3 new images, ones I'm quite proud of

Enjoy!!!

 

[Majestic]

Fantastic work mate, I really love those Galaxy ones. Truly some great quality work.

 

[CABAL]

And proud you should be. Excellent work.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Y'know, when you slow down and take care do to things, the results can be...

9th Doctor- FANTASTIC.

Spoiler: 1

Spoiler: 2

 

[Majestic]

Great work mate, the Galaxy class is still a great design and you've done quite well at bringing her to life in these images.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

I keep forgetting to post my images here, forgive me. Been obscenely busy with work and schoolwork, it really gets to ya after a while.

Here's two images with me having converted Wiley Coyote's models. He's informed me that on the Ent-E, I converted the wrong model with the right textures, and on the Ent-D, there's 'smoothing errors' on the mesh. I haven't a clue how to fix the latter, so would anyone be able to help me in that department?

Spoiler: 6

Spoiler: 7

 

[MrVulcan]

#5 is hilarious. Thanks for that.

The smoothing errors around the windows can be fixed by breaking vertices around the window faces (ie, anything that's not suppose to have smoothing on edges should have its vertices broken, or the faces detached). I can give a bit more info for 3dsmax if that would be helpful... or I could just fix the issue; would just need a SOD or 3ds max file for this model.

Cheers

 

[Zelph]

Haha, love #5. Think that might be my new desktop background...

And #6 is sweet, got to love the Sovereign letting loose.

 

[MrVulcan]

Fixed smoothing errors and added bump maps. Here's two beauty renders, in Storm3D, believe it or not I'll leave the actual photoshoots to the experts

Spoiler: Revised SOD 1

Spoiler: Revised SOD 2

 

[Majestic]

Damn that is a great Galaxy and the bump maps really make her shine. Nice work on that Mr Vulcan I am sure ISS Enterprise will be ecstatic over it.

 

[Jetfreak]

Yeah, even that makes me insecure! That is a superb rework of the Galaxy, serious props sir!

 

[Borg_Queen]

You continue to make great A2 pics, ISS_Enterprise_D.

 

[MrVulcan]

Thanks, although the real credit is with the original author WileyCoyote at BC files. I just did a bit of massaging to make sure the model still looked good in SOD

Also, I think that milkshape not supporting bump maps is a real bummer. I should really look into the source code for the milkshape exporter to see if that could be remedied.

Yeah the MS3D exporter doesn't support animations or bump maps the exporter seems to be a rush job or at least not finished. It is a real shame as the majority of modders in the community still use the program for both A2 and FO modding.

 

[ISS_Enterprise_D]

Welp, want to do two things for this post. Firstly, I'd like to ask if a mod can move this thread over to the 2D Graphics and Art section. Been in the wrong place for a good while now, lol

Secondly, announcing the return of my fan-fic, "Twilight Frontier," which will be coming soon exclusively to MSFC!! Have a little bit of a teaser image with an actiony battle!!

Spoiler: Ambush!

 

[Majestic]

Yay, welcome back to the fan-fic arena. I always enjoyed your fan fiction so this is a welcome return.

Oh and I'll move your thread now for you.
