Hey guys. I have a small team of friends that are working on an Enterprise Era animation. The Romulan war fleet battles. So far I have some original designs being made, this Daedalus redux included. As well as a "Pointer Class" (you'll see once I get the okay to post it). A little detail below:

The animation covers a short history of the Romulan wars. Using 10 different Starfleet designs, and about 12 different Romulan designs engaged in large fleet battles. We're currently in the productions stage, making the ships. What we currently need is:

NX-01 - Enterprise - Obvious is you've seen Enterprise
NX-02 - Atlantis - Refit of the Enterprise
NX-04 - Endevour - Little known craft from Enterprise, Is small, swept back pylons, NX nacelles
NX-05 - George Bush - Cruiser class - First saucer design of it's kind. Similer to the 1701 Phase 2 concept
NX-09 - Kuralov - unknown
NX-10 - Intrepid - unknown
NX-11 - Un-named - unknown
NX-12 - Roger Chaffee - In production, see below.
NX-13 - Un-named
NX-15 - Pointer - Upcomming.

We also have rights to use an Andorian Cruiser - seen below for the Starfleet side.

If you're at all interested, please let us know. Either myself, or Lennier1. Post here! Thanks :) Look forward to working with you. This is a pretty good sized project, using quite a few high polygon models; The NX-12 Roger Chaffee for instance has a max poly count of 2.5m, so we need all the help we can get! Thanks alot!

Artists so far:

Thanks, She's actually almost done. Just need to get pylons/nacelles and bridge done now. Btw, Christian has already created a ship that would easily fit in this era, We'll be heavily modifying it so it fits snuggly into the 22nd century.

Here are some shots of it:

Very Very nice. I love this idea seeing as how Enterpise was cancelled and I think this era had a lot going for it.

I'd love to help out any way that I can. More than likely in teh modeling and animation dept.

Cool :)
you asked me in the PM how good I am.
I dont know how to tell that by my self but if
you tell me something to do, I dont think It will be impossible for me to create :)
By the way very nice work yet :)

Hey

Nice to have you on board guys. Having a composer is realy cool.
Anybody started modelling or sketching?
I started my ship, based on the one shown above. I'll post pictures, as soon as it stops looking like crap :)

Yes, welcome everybody! As some as you know, I am also working for the Turing Shop (yes, that's how it's spelled) on a project for the Siggraph '06, so the progress on my behalf is going to be a little slow, as much of this work is going to the siggraph project. Maybe if I can get some permission to go ahead and post the work I'm doing, I will. We'll see. Anyway, Sebastien, bro - we can also go over the work when I come to Visit you and Elise in december, maybe do a little work together on the animation and such.

Might be able to get a PC of mine on the plane, not sure yet ;) and if not, maybe I can just transfer 3ds max r7 or r8 to your pc at home, and work from there? You wouldnt happen to have two screens would you? If not, I've got a smaller 15" LCD I can spare, it's small enough, I believe.

Christian: Please upload shots asap, I know work is slow, but we need to keep some updates here for the sake of moral. After you post yours, I'll go ahead and post the finished Daedalus. Looking forward to your updates.

New guy asking about how good he was: Alright, here's your task, go find some shots of the Phase 2 enterprise that looks like this and model it to the BEST of your ability, and I mean that, make this the highest quality model you've ever done. If you succeed, I'll stick you on as a member of the project and we will use the model. Dont worry about texturing, I'll be doing that, myself:

Remember to update as frequently as you can so that the team can critique it and give you hints/tips on certain aspects of the modeling/design you may need help with. Also remember, this needs to fit into the NX era, so be sure to make the changes that are required. Such as:

Plating design
Nacelle design of the Era
Docks, Hatches, Airlocks, Windows, and misc. details. I'd highly suggest you go on google.com , type in "Polar Lights NX-01" into images and search for large images. You should find several very large images of the NX-01 in orthographic renders (top, bottom, left, right, back, forward)

Everyone, this concluded my little Mission Statement, GET TO WORK!

Cheers,
Justin Dixon (admiraligor)

Because it's one of the first to feature a saucer in the NX era, hence why it should be this one, it looks more primitive and to the age. You know what I mean?
denntanos

Ok yeah i know what you mean, I start modeling at it right now ;)

Dennatos, er havent you got a prievious engagement with a samurai blade on the 5 blades collab????? I think you should try to stick to one project if people are relying on you to come up with the goods, its better than overstretching yourself, or overcommitting and it also means that people will be waiting for you to finish projects.




Btw guys nice work...
admiraligor

A Katana takes what.... 5hrs total to make? Hell, I'll make it if he doesnt :p
cipherL
11-03-2005, 04:59 PM
Yeah, but that isnt the point is it, and I doubt it would take 5 hrs.... you need to see the level of detaling on it :P....
My whole point is if you start on a project you should atleast try to finish it before starting another one.... If all the guys on here were doing that, you would soon see my view.
I have had lots of people ask me to work on their projects, since i started working on 5 Blades, and my response is, " when I have finished working on 5 Blades"....
Im sure you can see this is a more proffesional attitude, and somthing that will benifit all collab's....
admiraligor
11-03-2005, 05:01 PM
Agreed. As for the point about the blade though, it can easily be done in five hours if you're good at 3d and have zbrush :)

11-03-2005, 05:04 PM
you gonna make it for us then?.... cos were still waiting for it :D..... have you seen my concept for it?
denntanos
11-04-2005, 09:07 AM
Take it easy guys.. (stop fighting about me :D ) I have ALOT of spare time..
Even if i working on the KAtana sword that would be to little to do...
But im working on it right now..
So i dont think it should be a problem to work on both project for me at all.. :)

Hey

Seems like i'm the first to post something (besides the admiral). Thats the basic Layout of my ship. I also started working on the nacelle details.

It's inspired by the contestoga and the defiant.
