This is not a reboot - Page 4

Shouldn't it be I.S.S. Saladin?

Looks damn spiffy, dude.

XFozzboute · March 29th, 2009, 10:27 PM

I'm doing both versions.
The rest of the pictures are on my blog.

This is a wonderful re-imaging of the Saladin - updated without loosing the feel of what made TOS ships look as they did.

XFozzboute · April 5th, 2009, 05:02 PM

Thank you.
That's what I was hoping for.

UPDATE...
I've got the finished interiors for the cargo and shuttle bays.
I've got the final look and size of the NCC number and I added a few extra splatches to the hull.
And just for the fun of it I started to block in the new Bonaventure.

April 5th, 2009, 05:23 PM

Looks good!
I like how you're putting work into the shuttle bay.
I don't know if it is as important to people who render still images, but I can tell you from an animator standpoint it's awesome to have a mesh where there is access to things like shuttle bays. Nice touch.

The shot of the Saladin saucer section is also very nice. I agree with Jayru's comment about it. Good job!

evil_genius_180 · April 5th, 2009, 08:01 PM

Nice work on everything. The bays look sweet. I also like the textures, the slight cant to the Terran Empire logo is a nice touch. I'm also liking the looks of the Bonaventure so far.

XFozzboute · April 9th, 2009, 09:23 PM

I had to tilt the empire emblem because it wouldn't fit.

evil_genius_180 · April 9th, 2009, 11:59 PM

Ah, I didn't notice that before but I do now. Even so, it's still cool.

XFozzboute · April 23rd, 2009, 08:35 PM

UPDATE...
More textures.
I've been working on the textures the lower saucer. They're mostly done. I have to replace the ones on the deflector housing because they just don't appear to match very well.

evil_genius_180 · April 23rd, 2009, 08:58 PM

Yeah, and then you removed the other two attachments and I was trying to click on them and getting a dumb message, so I reloaded the page and saw what you'd done.

Looks great, bro. I really like the bussard dome, it's spiffy.

XFozzboute · April 23rd, 2009, 09:05 PM

Oops. Sorry about that.

Gotta keep something exclusive to the blog.
I like the bussards to. It's a little bit too orange but it's ok for now.

April 23rd, 2009, 09:19 PM

Great work.
Bonus points on the windows!

I like it when it looks like there is life inside the ship.

XFozzboute · May 21st, 2009, 09:10 PM

UPDATE...
Well I'm finally back at it.
The ship is nearly finished. I just have to fix some minor mesh errors on the bottom of the saucer and finish the textures for the shuttle and I can put a big done stamp on it.
These aren't the official orthos but the ship is done enough at this point to do them.

evil_genius_180 · May 21st, 2009, 11:09 PM

Looks awesome, bro.

Thomas P · May 22nd, 2009, 08:44 AM

That is amazing work. Excellent (fun to finish something, isn't it

?)

XFozzboute · May 22nd, 2009, 01:19 PM

Thank you.
Yeah it feels good to finish something. Too bad it takes so damn long.

May 22nd, 2009, 01:24 PM

Looks great man.
I really like the windows.
Gives me the feeling there is life and activity going on inside the shell.
:thumbup:

XFozzboute · May 23rd, 2009, 05:55 PM

Thank you.
The images are from Enterprise and most are either upside down or sideways. I have to decide on the ones I want turned off so all the windows aren't on.
UPDATE...
While adding a new texture to the back of the shuttle I thought about two more ideas.
A. Is a small shuttle pod. Kind of like the one from Star Trek: Enterprise.
B. Is the standard shuttle.
C. Is a large shuttle used by larger ships and ground and space stations. I was thinking something like the shuttles used in the new Star Trek movie.

XFozzboute · May 28th, 2009, 10:19 PM

The shuttle is done. I also added an escape hatch to the top.

evil_genius_180 · May 29th, 2009, 01:00 AM

That's friggin' spiffy, dude.

XFozzboute · June 28th, 2009, 10:46 PM

UPDATE...
I decided to flesh out the Kelvin version of this ship.
At my blog you'll find a new idea for another ship.

Thomas P · June 29th, 2009, 11:58 AM

That's great looking. Very TOS version of it!

June 29th, 2009, 12:04 PM

Yah, that is pretty cool looking.
Not a design that I'm really into, but you've managed to do it well enough that it could change my mind. That's powerful stuff.

Excellent job!

July 15th, 2009, 06:25 AM

Excellent models with great lighting...

July 16th, 2009, 01:55 AM

This is superb work and very detailed. The multiple views shown would also make great blueprints for others to recreate this work with the permission of the owner ofcourse.

Outstanding.

martok2112 · July 16th, 2009, 02:17 AM

Very very cool. And an Imperial StarShip to boot.

XFozzboute · August 29th, 2009, 09:32 PM

UPDATE...
Well I couldn't keep myself from working on a Trek ship so I opened my Wip folder and the first file I had was the U.S.S. Archer. I rebuilt the Catamarans and started to detail the thingy that is between them.

gmd3d · August 30th, 2009, 04:07 AM

I like this design alot .. looks solid and tough

XFozzboute · September 3rd, 2009, 05:29 PM

Cool. That's the feel I was going for.

UPDATE...
I feel that I’ve finished the thingy between the cats. And I’ve got the final shape for them and added new phasers to replace the ones that got covered up. Now I can work on the details and finish up the warp pylons.
I think I have the names for the other ships.
Archer
Tucker
Forest
Akira
Thunderchild

gmd3d · September 4th, 2009, 03:46 AM

Thunderchild is always a good one .. very war of the worlds,
what about the "Montana" for one ??
I read the name yesterday and said "Hey !!! that a good name for a Ship"

then I said other things but that's not important
