I'm a professional 3D modeler/animator with 20 years worth of technical 3D animation under my belt. I have decided to create this channel to experiment with some of my various 3D ideas and concepts and hope to recreate something fun and unique along the way.

Some make fun of D because it had families on board, but have you truly thought about what that meant for civilization? For the first time, a whole community traveled the stars. They were city ships, a huge step forward in the advancement of the human species. Before D, they were strictly military/science vessels on a mission. Family sometimes followed in rare occasions more like Sisko's family. But D introduced a 100% space faring race, born in space, acclamated to the riggers of space travel from birth. Think of us today. Sure our tech doesn't allow for the seamless transition to the stars like in Trek, but even with that under consideration, traveling in space takes some getting use to. You never see a sky or any natural growth unless you fake it on a holodeck, and holodecks weren't that common at D's launch. Some wrestle with the idea that on the other side of that wall is death. However, those born in space, wouldn't even perceive any kind of problem. It would be all they new. A true traveling city or nation is way beyond anything ever considered before D. Now Trek never explored this idea fully, chosing to jump up the threat level with the Borg and other crazies. Later Discover and Picard, just got stupid and dropped the original feeling of hope and adventure for sad brooding melodrama. We lost the most progressive aspect of the Next Gen, a totally brand new lifestyle for mankind.
Something that’s missing. In DS9 it shows the defiant dot the DS nine at its deflector dish/Warhead. It also shows crew entering through an airlock at that point. So where is the airlock?
I love the interior design of the bridge. I wanted to see more of the interior designs of starships. Corridors, engineering room, quarters, bridges, turbolifts, you name it. I enjoyed the video. I'm very sure I am not the only one who loves to be ahead of my time.
The AT-AT’s neck being totally hollow doesn’t make sense, and here’s why: The structure would be weak and likely snap under the weight of the head and cannons. Plus, the weight distribution would cause the neck to bend or break. Turning would put way too much stress on it, making torsional problems a big issue. On top of that, fixing or accessing the neck would be nearly impossible. Overall, it goes against basic engineering principles *and* the laws of physics-but then again, so do lightsabers, X-Wings, droids, the Force, Yoda, the Millennium Falcon, Ewoks, Darth Vader.... 🤷♂
9:30- “The refit Enterprise was severely damaged when the Genesis device was detonated in the Mutara Nebula…” No, the Enterprise was severely damaged when the Reliant under control by Khan and his people shot her while her sheilds were still down. The Enterprise didn't appear to be damaged when the Genesis device was detonated because she warped away just in time.
I'll always love the TOS Enterprise because she was my first and she set the standard. I'm not saying that others are flashier or better in various ways, but the original will always be my favorite class of Enterprise.
They got it wrong with the position of the emergency battle bridge turbolift it wasn't on the port side it was on the starboard side of the main bridge near the ships dedication plaque.
ENT-F: 21:07 you said she was launched in 2409 but at the end of that chapter, you said she was decommissioned in 2401 (correct). She was launched in 2386!
Disagree with the commonly stated ship sizes from the technical manuals. Especially when it comes to TOS era vessels. Someone redid the V'Ger footwalk scene with the "correct" Enterprise and the decks couldn't fit a person, whereas on screen the decks seem fairly spacious. 450-500 m is probably a reasonable length. Of course things are never 100 % consistent when doing practical effects. Also the Excelsior must be 700-1000+ meters long, just look at the saucer section windows and compare them with the shuttle at the end of ST IV. TNG vessels seem to have smaller inconsistencies. I saw the Enterprise E being calculated to be about 800 m long, only a bit over 100 m longer than in the technical manuals. Similar tendencies exist in other sci-fi franchises where they understate ship sizes. Like the Rodger Young in Starship Troopers where a 550 m length is claimed but on-screen evidence is for a ship that's about a mile long. Also the Death Stars in Star Wars seem much bigger in many shots than claimed (when the Executor crashes there is no curvature of the horizon).
I'll always have a soft spot for the NX-01. Other Star Trek hero ships would all be sleek and spacious and sci-fi looking. But something about how cramped and almost threadbare the NX-01 felt that made it feel like an actual star ship. This was a ship made with function in mind first and comfort second because humanity was still very, very new to the stars. It gave it a very unique feel and actually made the era it lived in feel unique compared to OST and TNG
I like how the detachable warhead has a cockpit. "Ensign, we need you to get to the warhead cockpit before the battle." "Uh, why?" "Reasons that will become clear. Your life insurance is paid up, right?"
