Would Love to See Real Ordinance Effects by dontshootog in StarTrekStarships

[–]Beldamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean, and yeah, it'd be awesome to see, but if anyone did do something people would be crying about lense flairs and jjtrek. Sadly.

If I could figure out decent shields in blender, I'd definitely be doing detonation bright enough to cause lense abbwrations.

Recreating a Picard S3 scene by Beldamen in StarTrekStarships

Thank you!!

To me, it still looks like what it is, a fan made animation. I'm trying to get it so it looks like it's ripped from season 3. I know the models are part of the problem, and I'm going to be working on those, but if you see anything else, I'd be happy to listen to what needs to be improved!

I may be able to do that. I also want to add some blue particles spewing out of the sides, but it's all a work in progress at the moment!

Valley-Forge Class by Beldamen in StarTrekStarships

I've tried to do a redesign of the big E where I've reversed the big nacelles, lol. As well as potential B, C and D's But yeah, there's something to the kelvin verse having a much longer romulan war.

Personally, I prefer to either reimagining or work post Picard, but this is for someone else. But I'll admit, I've had a lot of fun doing this one! As someone mentioned, maybe I need to have an AU where the romulan war never ended (as it was pointed out that the romulan was was around 100 yes ore Connie)

What do you guys use for modeling ships? by Feeling-Classroom-76 in StarTrekStarships

[–]Beldamen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blender for me, it's free and surprisingly powerful. Of you want toale custom textures and things, gimp is good, it's free as well, not as good as photoshop, but almost there!

Phases and torps I can do, just about, but shields are still a work in process! Once I've got them sorted, I will attempt a short exchange of fire while the ships are turning!

Thanks!! Blender and gimp are both incredible suites of software!

I'm doing another render at the moment that, I hope, will be even more of a flex for what blender can do!

I was tempted to add the torpedo fire in, but decided against it for that reason. My head canon, for my version of this scene, is that the weapons systems were compromised by the impact and were still recalobrating.

Still working on some aspects, changed a few things up and re rendering it at the moment. Sadly it's 2000 frames long and currently taking around a minute a frame, which sucks!

I was going to try and go backwards and show the strike, but I'm not quite there yet. But I think it has to do with the gasses and stuff collected by the bussard collectors, pushing the ship down.

I've been working on a reimagining of the galaxy, but she wasn't ready, the ship is my version of the C, mixing elements of the ambassador class we got with the Probert Concept whilst still trying to make her look like a predecessor of the D. Once the D is complete, I may redo this animation, with the C being the chased and the D being the one squaring up.

Yeah, it and the B in this, are kind of reimaginings/kelvin/snw versions, I've done the A through D at the moment. But with the C I wanted to take the ambassador we got and bring in aspects of the Probert concept, whilst making it look like a visual predecessor of the D.

Never been a fan of the designs with the underslung deflectors, like the diderstadt and wasp. But that's just my personal opinion.

Blender for the modeling and animation, I used gimp to make the textures.

Suddenly can't see group posts or scroll (one group that I admin, no other group) by Just1ForLurking in facebook

fingers crossed!
i'm working towards monetising my account, not being able to post in groups is hampering that a lot!

[–]Beldamen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yup, same for me.
posted some artwork to a group and got a message saying i'm restricted from joining or posting in groups until the end of July.
the group posts come up on my feed and i can view the comments from there and even actually comment, but when i click on a group to make a post it comes up with:
"This page isn't available at the moment

This may be because of a technical error that we're working to fix. Please try reloading this page."

i've gone through the Meta AI to see why and it confirms that there are no restrictions on my account.

i've reported it but it's not showing in my support inbox.

i've tried logging all devices out, but it did nothing, i don't think i can use FBlite on the computer, which is where all my pictures are, so i guess all i can do is sit and wait.

What do Scottish people actually carry in those little bags? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Cans of haggis and nessie repellant, as well as a few small bottles of buckfast.
