Introducing the world's (when complete) most detailed model of "Star Trek"'s Shuttlecraft Galileo.

Ventral view
(Practically) A 3/4 view

When complete this model will have every conduit, every wire, every "nut and bolt".

And for a look at the most current interior work.

Plenty of modeling and texturing left to do but it's been an adventure so far. It's my first truly serious 3D project so I thought I'd share it here and see what sort of feedback I could get. Good or bad, it all helps.

"Be seeing you"...

As a fellow trekkie I must commend you on your effort and congratulate you on your proficiency with the 3D tools, these are good!

Wow, those are excellent :D ! The attention to detail is great. What program do you use? And if you haven't already, you'll probably want to check out Ziroc's 3D modelling. But I assume that's why you're here, right?

Anyway, keep up the good work and I hope it all turns out well [img]smile.gif[/img] .

hmmmmm...those are cool, very nice 3d stufff...

but will someone clue me in on what they are?

no clue whatsoever what those were [img]tongue.gif[/img]

but nonetheless they were cool [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Remember early Star Trek shuttles(The Original Series and in the Kirk movies)? That's the one.

Nice!

Thanks -- everyone -- for the compliments, I'm really pleased as to how it's turning out. I haven't made much progress on it as I had a computer failure shortly after my first post and lost alot of my momentum on it. My hosting company flaking out on me didn't help things either.

Jaradu, I'm using a program called Blender. I've been using it for about a year now and it's really come along way it that time.

And one more update for everyone...

For the sake of clarity the helm has been removed and the chairs are translucent

Ran some test renders with both the interior and exterior...
