Star Trek - Romulan War & Pre TOS era
There is a small group of modellers and renderers on the net who specialise on creating starships from the Star Trek series from the timeline of the Original Series and before - the desire is to create ships that follow the simplistic designs of that era in the show - yet still have a greater quality and amount of detail without it being overbearing
As such this is an enjoyable sideline when there is nothing else on work wise - as these ships are quite simplistic in nature from a modeling aspect with all the detail being enhanced by texturing - the meshes also look good in renders and have the added advantage that they render quicker also! ;o) -
.There are too many I have constructed here to list details for each and every one - so I will merely showcase them as groups.
A collection of different ships of the UES from the Romulan War period way back in the Starfleet history timeline.
This whole set was constructed in 2 days including texturing - employed use of alpha masking to a great extent.
A collection of Minotaur Fighters of the UES from the Romulan War period way back in the Starfleet history timeline.
This whole set was constructed in 1 evening including texturing - employed use of alpha masking to a great extent.
A collection of Starfleet craft from Kirk's era.
This whole set was constructed in 4 days including texturing.
The old girl herself - Kirk's pride and Joy the Enterprise
This mesh took 1 week to complete - her simplistic look belies the amount of detail there is there till you get right up close.
The mesh features 14 additional registry sets which are created as objects so that users can have whole fleets in their renders! ;o)
A small patrol fleet of the Romulan War ships - background also created in Lightwave.
