Nice job Tobias and nice to see you around again. It's been a long time.

Oldcode · 22nd May 2011, 03:21 PM

Hey! That's beautiful, and you're right! A very nice hybrid of K7 and STIII.

Awesome!

Luhiss · 22nd May 2011, 05:35 PM

I like it! Nice progress!

tobiasrichter · 26th May 2011, 03:30 PM

Here´s a small animation test of the station...

YouTube - ‪Vanguard Station Animation Test‬&rlm;

lonewriter · 26th May 2011, 03:40 PM

That is NICE!

Tony Gardner · 26th May 2011, 03:55 PM

Yes, nice indeed.

XFozzboute · 26th May 2011, 04:09 PM

WOW! Add a little music to that and it be even more mind blowing.

BillS · 26th May 2011, 04:24 PM

Have I told you that you suck lately? You just have to much talent...

Pretty much says it for me too

David cgc · 26th May 2011, 05:51 PM

The TOS style stars are a really nice touch.

PepeWan · 26th May 2011, 07:11 PM

I like it. I don't know why, but I expected to see a little spin on the station, but still a great looking animation.

Treybor · 26th May 2011, 07:15 PM

That's very cool Tobias!

I agree.

If I can dare to suggest something. I'd make a few of the position lights "blink". Would make it look a bit more interesting/alive.
But maybe that is juts me.

Andy M · 27th May 2011, 01:40 AM

Great work

tobiasrichter · 27th May 2011, 02:13 AM

Thank you.

As I wrote on the comment in youtube, the lighting is not 100% done yet. There have to be some blinking lights - and the red lights around the docking doors have to be stronger. But that´s fine-tuning that I´ll do once I really use it in a production.

Raymar3d · 27th May 2011, 10:16 PM

You know, this model actually makes me want to go buy the Vanguard books and give them a read. I've sort of wanted to for awhile, but this is pushing me over the edge.

I have read them and they are good. They have a great storyline.

Techno · 6th July 2011, 01:32 PM

Stunning job...I'm reading Vanguard books right now, the station looks bulbous but it follows the K-7 station TOS-era design pretty well.

Could certainly see Gantz's Orion merchant ship being docked there...

Kerem · 6th July 2011, 02:36 PM

Stunning work!

bmckain · 18th July 2011, 06:13 PM

I missed the animation test. Very well done.

harroldsheep · 5th April 2012, 10:08 AM

first of all, looks terrific!
question: are the windows geometry or texture? and what resolution textures are you using if they are textured?

DELTA · 5th April 2012, 11:42 AM

I'll take 2, hold the ketchup.

Very nice work.

tobiasrichter · 6th April 2012, 05:15 AM

Windows are geometry....

Pete Paterson · 6th April 2012, 12:58 PM

Missed this first time around, really sweet.

khemsmtl · 4th June 2012, 05:45 PM

Hi Tobias,

Amazing work!

I'm new in CGI and I would like to know how you make such textures and how do you apply it in your model please.

Thanks a million and have a nice day.

lonewriter · 4th June 2012, 08:21 PM

Will this be in next years SOTL calander?

tobiasrichter · 5th June 2012, 07:15 AM

Khem: I did a short tutorial over at scifi-meshes a while ago - that might help

lonewriter: No, not in 2013 I have one TNG picture and one of the TMP Enterprise in that. I currently plan to use the station in one of the next Phase II episodes, but it may end up in a SotL picture as well.

lonewriter · 5th June 2012, 10:14 AM

I'm not sure if I've seen Phase II.

David cgc · 5th June 2012, 10:16 AM

That's really cool. Clever job doing the mapping in the UVs rather than using a polar deformer when you made the map and projecting in straight on. I like the little details like the warning decals and base metal, as well.

Also, I didn't realize that Photoshop had layer comps. This changes so much for me.

Check it out - they have become pretty good. It´s all fan work, but for that it is remarkably well done, if I may say so
