gmd3d designs

Its been a while since my last post with the rebooted Enterprise but also my PC had another fit and I was compelled to reinstall Windows, by slow steps I have reinstalled Lightwave at the last and finished the few details I had to work out on the rebooted constitution class.

I had to adjust the hangar deck height. it was too low for the deck plan I was using, I also worked out the gallery observation area and its corridor to the control booth though I did not build the corridor itself..

I never found credit to the shuttle model builder, no readme was included in the file.

The shuttle model builder is Aggi from Foundation3d

Star Trek Constitution Redesign

Status

I have at last finished the design, but it took me some time to return to it, over the last week I refined and reworked the design added features I like and giving some thought how the ship would be arranged internally.

The overall design is bigger then the original series version to fit my idea of its internal layout too.

USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701
Constitution Class
Length: 1311’5 Feet
Width: 577’5 Feet
Height: 319’11 Feet
25 Decks.
Crew Complement 430.
7 Class F Shuttlecraft
Escape Pods 192
164 Primary Hull 4 persons per pod = 656 Crew
28 Secondary Hull 4 persons per pod = 128 Crew
Total Escape Pod Personnell Capacity = 768

Constitution Rebuild Continued

Its has been a few weeks since my last post, I was on my holidays, arrived back a few days ago, and as it takes me a few days to even return to 3D and remembering my plans for this design to find to my mild annoyance that I was not paying as much attention to the results as I should have, so I had to go in and clean up parts of the model, esp around the hangar bay.

I have placed all the windows and are arranged as I like them the most and I think retains a lot of the original look..

Halcyon Space Craft

Some Halcyon Space Craft renders I created but neglected to post, background art by Ali Ries aka Casperium and GrahamTG, who kindly allowed me to work with their art, really setting a dramatic feel. some are repeated trying different approaches.

I hope you like them, I will look to another original design I think for the next model, stretch myself creatively, but who is to say I cannot do two designs 🙂
