Rough asteroid base exit concept sketch

Although it is just an "initial idea" concept for an image I am working on for another Star Trek SIM, thought I'd post it for anyone who's interested even in my rough work.

Set inside an asteroid, the strange "exit" is because the base is intended to be protected by a hologrid which shields it from the outside world.

There are a few other ideas and images in the pipeline - any finished versions, or in-development work, will also be posted here.

USS Phoenix Animation

This animation was put together last week for the unveiling in Seattle - it had to be done against a tight deadline - in an ideal world it would have been a little more polished.

A different version of the video is also at www.stphoenix.com.

Development of the Ascension Class: Photos & Album

I have been busy these last few months working on a new design for Star Trek: Phoenix, a fan based production in Seattle.

Now that the final 3D Mesh has been handed over to them and they have formally revealed the design, I can at last catalogue all my work here - from initial sketches, test models, development shots through to the final textured design.

Insignia Class - the latest

Been a long time, but I have been busy on SciFi-Meshes.com working on the Insignia Class based on feedback from the members - although no changes to the actual mesh were made, I did go about adding a more complete set of textures to it, and that has progressed it to the point where I really am happy with it now, and will be putting it to bed as far as making it any 'better' is concerned.

So, here's a selection of renders for it -hopefully time will start to free up in the new year and I'll be able to develop myself on completely new projects. But I'm sure the Insignia will pop up, from time to time:

Insignia Class - Profile Views

I did this on request from a friend a few weeks ago - as it has been requested elsewhere as well I thought I'd post it here. The image contains some views of the Insignia Class starship, warts and all:

U.S.S. Pioneer - "First Step"

...and it is indeed a first step - well, in many ways - this is the first image in a long time that is "completed" (although you never really feel its complete).

Space Background - 1

Whilst playing with nebula effects, put this together:


The "streaks" were made out of a combination of Fractal-style Photoshop brushes here. I made up the following images and then mixed them up in 3D studio max:
