St1 ~ V'ger
 

Thought I would take a break from the Border Wars to bring a memory....a memory from ST1

Turned out most excellent I must admit......

Oooh, I can almost hear the badly played electric guitar... :D

Now *that* is an awesome image.

Is that V'gre available for DL, and is it available in LW if it is available for DL?

That is very nice. and nicely complements T. Combs' pic of the Enterprise approaching V'ger (he used Riley's model, as well).

*runs for his ST1 Directors cut DvD upstairs to compaire the images

Actually, it's an instrument called the "blasterbeam" that Jerry Goldsmith likes to include in a lot of his film scores. Not sure how it works, but it's made of artillery shells.

:eek: That is a thing of beauty, Ebolii! Any chance there's a bigger version? My computer could use a new desktop. :p

1280*1024 version please!

Any moment now they're gonna get it :D Excellent!

Bigger version?........okay give me 4 days and NO problemo........right now I am back in a FF Instuctor certification until Friday...that be the priority after that I will get ya'll the larger version

As in Fire Fighter?

Where's the green plasma bolt that's gonna digitize the klingons? :devil:

Sweet image Ebolii!

Wow didn't excpect some of the great names to show up...and with high praise too!....Thanks
Those of you who are intersted the larger 1280x1024 version.......ST1 ~ V'Ger

Hope it is still everything you enjoyed concerning the image I have done nothing other than reset the render size so it should be identical yet bigger..........

I do plan on a few more images of V'ger to include the destruction of the Klingon D7's and 1701A approach....I look forward to starting this

ThomasP your answer is yes

So on this note IF there are any suggestion concerning the next renders I will see you in my next post.....it will be labeled ST1 ~ V'GER x2

Thanky very much - a new desktop background for me! :D

...try this again...

Yeah Warrior, its available, but its max, u can get at the scifi-3d site.

Ok. Thnx.

WOW

Actually Jerry Goldsmith onely ever used the Blaster beam in TMP, and has said he doesn't plane on useing it agin.

The shell has pick ups on the inside and is slid up and down a steel cable, that is all that I know, but it was really cool. It was also used in treks II and III by Horner.

Blaster Beam
 

This instrument was created by Craig Hundley.

The instrument is around 14 foot long, and was made from highly polished artillery shell casings, and used rotating magnets in some way.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture has probably the most prominent use of the instrument, and it was used in Meteor, The Black Hole (John Barry), Star Trek II and Star Trek III (both by James Horner) to my knowlege.

In TPM, it was used to symbolize V'ger and the barran, alien nature of logic without feeling.

Also, Craig Hundley appeared in one of the Original Series Episodes as a kid, billed under the name Craig Huxley. I can't remember which one.

The sound quality on the soundtrack is still amazing, even compared to scores recorded much later. The music also speaks for itself.

EBOLII, you could try adding some film grain to the cloud, and perhaps blurring it a little. This might make it look closer to the movie.

Great image, BTW.
