Doug Drexler and Daren Dochterman recently posted beauty shots of their excellent Enterprise models on their blogs, so while scenes from Act I are in the render farm hopper I thought I’d provide you guys an embiggened peek at the Gray Lady from what I felt were some of the more successful clips in the teaser. First up is my favorite of the “red planet of the week” shots from the opening credits…
Our hero Captain Kirk may have been trying to short out the space babe robots in “I, Mudd” when he exclaimed that the Enterprise “is a beautiful lady and we all love her!”, but darn it… she is, and we do!

Thank you Andrew. :) This was lifted almost untouched from the 720×480 clip with only a couple of positioning changes to take better advantage of a 1920×1080 render, but at some point I think I’m going to come back and fiddle with the tilt of the Enterprise so we can see a bit more of the bridge dome, and perhaps liven up the starscape background a bit. Still, I have to say that I’m pretty pleased with this shot. :) Thanks for the feedback!
