Nice pics what did you use to design them?

Animation Master

here's a new pic, nothing's really changed, it's just a different angle

Picture time, this one's in HD so you can see all of the nice textures

Shiiiny. Are you going to animate the characters or green-screen?

animate for this one. I'm doing some live-action shorts this summer though that will be unrelated to this

Got any ideas on what you want the characters to look like?

I got one rough sketch of Dante done up and T'Cerec is a cardassian

I didn't think him as cardassian i thought of him more as teal'c from SG1

nah nah, when he gets more screen time, Cardy fits him well, he's deceptive and yeah, don't wanna say too much

second scene, his first line i liked that part i think that would be a good part of his character

yeah, he's gonna be a bit of a dick and also be sarcastic/blunt

In the part where t'cerec says icoming would it not be better to say torpedeos incoming!

no, take a lesson from Mr Higgins. When giving commands or info like that, shorter is better. And it would be more like him to just blurt out "Incoming" and not really describe it in detail. Besides, Dante would pretty much know what he meant

and let's have us another shiny pic!

And I have begun the process of lighting this sucker:

I'd say this is at about the 75% mark now, so it's almost done

Damn, you work fast!

it's because i don't distract myself with other stuff

and playing with colour:

Ladies and gentlemen, my brother has just designed Dante's ship. The space background was made by me, but the real gem here is the ship

now that is amazing!

here's the helm LCARS ATM. I'm sort of redesigning the traditional LCARS system

I like it, i would add images of whats in front of the ship on the Helm, and for Ops and Tactical a sensor with a dot in the middle of it (your ship) that shows sensor pings and stuff, and weapons fire and all of that.

don't worry EP, I got everything under control, I know what I'm doing and what I want. Also, do you know how much work would be involved to always be changing what's in front of the ship on the displays and things like that?

Holy crap... That thing is freaking beautiful. Your bro's a good designer.

he is indeed, he's got another view done for us too which makes the ship look absolutely beautiful

And here is the LCARS for the tactical console

and a shiny pic for you all:

And finally got to working on the logo. Needs a few tweaks, but this what I got:

Hay, just a sugestion, anyway it looks good how it is, i just though sugestions help, you know..........I think its fantastic how it is.....I just figure comments and stuff help alittle.

I prefer suggestions when I say "and now time for suggestions" or something along those lines. Means I'm close enough to being done for people to not have to make suggestions of things I was or wasn't going to do in the future

Oh, sorry.........

Ha ha, no problem, but don't worry you (and everyone) will get your chance to criticize soon enough

Ta-daaa, Tristan finished!

Hay, if you need an MSD (Master Systems Display) for the ship i can make one, its about the only thing i can do with the current software i have......dont worry i will make shure it fits with the design of the other MSD's, but the only thing, it wont have glow, i dont know how to add that, and i am thinking it would only be temporary if you even use it at all....but you know i kinda want to help out, so it gets done faster

I will make a sample MSD

no, I got it

Im still going to make one for future reasons, maby you will need one in the future.

not if I make one I won't.

Its good to have a portfolio of work to show people though...so.....

well, make it for your own purposes, but Mercs is covered so far
