Voyager status update

on

Going quite slow, but I better make this look good.

The original mesh was made about 16 years ago by Amblin Imaging. They 3D scanned the Voyager physical model and created a cgi version of it. I manipulated the mesh to reflect my refit plans and used that as a guideline to create the nurbs model on. As you see this has some advantages if it comes to "Wires". (However this will change once the detailing starts...)

Lots to do, I better continue! :)

    I love hearing the details of the modeling process, and I look forward to many more updates!

    Even though the original model was apparently scanned to create the CG model, be careful because the CG model is actually deceptively inaccurate to the physical model!
    I assume your refit will differ enough from either model of Voyager for it not be a huge issue, just be sure not to rely on the accuracy of the shape of the CG mesh. I can't wait to see how far you take the refit. :)
