Freak's Star Trek 3D Builds.

I think the modelling is now done on the outside.
Not sure if I am going to keep the Escape hatch/ airlock. If I do it means I going to have to add panels.









Onto doing the interior and then the Texturing and after that I can call this done and start making some pictures.

Very, very cool, Dean!

Looks good, dude. I'd leave the hatch, it adds something to the otherwise plain top.

Maybe add a few ridge lines at the same height as the hatch door so if your pilot is a git and rubs some it will run along the ridges vs catching on the hatch. Sort of like how SUV or truck beds have to protect any openings or to lower friction.

Some examples, ignore the racks and clamp wings. Anyhow it would help break up the roof and the hatch door. ''

Thanks Guys.

Dan that not a bad idea. I'll give it a go.
I am also thinking of putting in a sliding rails for the hatch to move forward to ravel the airlock.

I have made and simple interior for the shuttle. I put the pilots and Co-pilots position a little higher than the rest of the shuttle. This is so they can see out the cockpit windows.
 As you can see from the picture below, with Kirk and Spock sitting in the flight chairs they are unable to see directly out the windows. which seem a bit pointless of having windows if your pilots can't see out of them.



I have also put in passenger chairs as well. I did try a standard of two by two layout, but that left no room to go up the middle.
Below are pictures of the interior and with lights added. I put red lights up front to make it a little different but this can be changed to white.





Here is a lighting test to see what it would look like with the rest of the shuttle in place.
As you can see form the picture due to the glass setting I have you can't really see with in. I am not sure if I am going to change this at the moment.
If I don't it will save me having the interior and just leave the lights, which will save on render times.



Below is a picture of a handles added to the roof of the shuttle. I did this to add a bit more detail and also for someone to hold onto when they come out of the escape hatch/ airlock on the top of the shuttle. Though I am not 100% happy with them and might redo them.



With that done, it now onto adding proper materials and texturing her.

[scifidude79]

It looks good, bro. I like the way did the seating.

[scifieric]

Oh wow!  That's a great job!

[Freak]

Thanks Guys.

Okay Modelling is now done and so are the Textures.
I re-did the handrail onto of the shuttle as it was pointed out that it was two thick for someone to grab onto. It could be raised a little, but as it is now, there is enough clearance for someone to grab onto it.

I have textured about 90% of the shuttle and left the other 10% as they don't really need any textures as materials will do. I was thinking of putting in the UPF flag for the TOS era onto the shuttle but though against it as it would be a bit to much. I not that great a creating my own textures but a pretty much happy with this.
I have put a lot of dirt onto the bottom of the nacelles, while they won't touch the ground when the shuttle is landed due to the landing gear. It is close enough that when landing and taking off, the dirt would be thrown up hitting them. (think of the down draft you get from a helicopter when landing and taking off.)





With that said onto creating some pictures with this little shuttle.

[scifidude79]

It looks good with the markings and grime.

[Freak]

Thanks Chris.
I think I might have over done the dirt on the bottom of the nacelles though.

[scifidude79]

Yeah, you may want to have some engineering peons clean that off.

[scifieric]

Thanks Chris.

Actually, I was going to congratulate you on your subtle textures!  Nice work!

LOL thanks guys.
