    I'm amazed you get so little snow that this is considered to be a lot. Seems like a nice place to move to for a mild winter :)

    Yeah :) This amount of snow is quite uncommon, I believe the last time it was in the 80's.

    You wont believe how much trouble this kind of weather gives over here. Maybe next year we will be a bit better prepared. :D

    10 years ago I moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina (USA states), my home town in PA averaged 2-3 meters of snow every year, my new town averaged a mere 2 centimeters.

    As such I left all my heavy winter gear in storage and two months later NC had the worst blizzard in over two decades with over half a meter of snow topped by 4 centimeters of ice.

    The entire state of NC had half as many snowplows as my home village of only 2000 people had. We had to simply wait 3 weeks for everything to melt.

    There's my winter story to make you feel good about your own situation :)

IXS Enterprise

Many months have passed since I last posted an update. While my intention was to share anything the project I was working on was too important/too demanding to write an article during the "construction". The IXS Enterprise, a very early concept of the first real warpship. When I got invited by Dr. Harold "Sonny" White and Mike Okuda, I was absolutely stunned. Did that just really happen? A person from NASA contacted me to do artwork for them? Yes it did! After seeing my rendition of Matt Jefferies "Ring Ship", Dr. White thought that this would be a good starting point for a near future "Ring Ship". At least from a STEM perspective. Because that is the main goal: to get a warpship concept out there that would inspire young people to choose a career in STEM.   However the XCV-330 needed some adaptions to fit to the latest warp theory. After making some adjustments, we quickly realized it would be better to start from scratch. I started to d...

Have a nice new year everyone! I'm currently working on a new project, it's movie related but not Star Trek or Star Wars. I'm afraid that's all I can say, it also means that there will be very little to show up to April because of the NDA. Meanwhile Thinkgeek.com is considering the idea of IXS Enterprise posters, a fun idea if you ask me. But: nothing is certain yet. :) In other news, I'm in the process of converting the Vesta class to mesh, improving some tiny design glitches at the same time. Mesh conversion is tricky, with different output in viewport and renderer... Also I have to redo the textures, this is basically a good thing as the current version relies too much on ancient procedural shaders, they need to go. Still once converted to mesh, the usability is going to be so much better. New renders will look better and hopefully a bit more realistic. :) Oh also, the new novel Takedown by John Jackson Miller is using the Aventine on the cover. I m...
