Author Topic: ENT: Intrepid as vector graphic Irishman Active Member Member # 1188 posted                       I am beginning to put together a vector version of the Intrepid from before. It will be a while, however. Other priorities and learning curve, you know. I hope to have a dorsal view within 2 weeks. -------------------- This is just fun...it's not life...keep this in mind and we'll all enjoy it much more Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged Irishman Active Member Member # 1188 posted                       I'm going along pretty well learning Illustrator enough to make the Intrepid. However, I am unable to figure out how to make that thicker stroke once I'm done, the one that Masao and Reverend put on their projects to give them that finished look. Can anyone walk me through it? -------------------- This is just fun...it's not life...keep this in mind and we'll all enjoy it much more Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged Harry Stormwind City Guard Member # 265 posted                       I could tell you how to do the Masao TrickTM in CorelDRAW, but then I'd have to kill you -------------------- Titan Fleet Yards | Memory Alpha Registered: Dec 1999  |  IP: Logged Irishman Active Member Member # 1188 posted                       Well, thanks for the offer, but would it translate into something that would work in Illustrator? -------------------- This is just fun...it's not life...keep this in mind and we'll all enjoy it much more Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged Masao doesn't like you either Member # 232 posted                       There are several ways of doing it. The trick Reverend uses is to copy the schematic on a separate layer and keep only those objects forming the outline. Increase their line weight, then put the layer below everything else. Of course, the layers above have to be colored in and not just lines. -------------------- When you're in the Sol system, come visit the Starfleet Museum Registered: Oct 1999  |  IP: Logged Reverend Based on a true story...

Babies have kept me busy, you know. http://img27.photobucket.com/albums/v81/Irishman/WIP1.jpg Please nitpick. I need it. -------------------- This is just fun...it's not life...keep this in mind and we'll all enjoy it much more Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       Well the only observations I can honestly make, might be the 'wings' on the outer nacelles seem to start where the inner struts leave off...umm, or rather, the front face of the outer wings run nearly parallel with the rear face of the inner struts. But I'm far from a pro...let alone one to judge... -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password... Registered: Jan 2003  |  IP: Logged Irishman Active Member Member # 1188 posted                       I wasn't happy with the colors from the first version, so I deleted it down to white for now. I think I'm going to try both a straight-up gray-with-a-tinge-of-blue and a less-saturated version of the tan color scheme. In the meantime, I've cleaned up and evened out the structures. I thought the same about the thin connecting structure too, but then I thought the NX-01 was too thin too. But, it's thin in that direction, but wide in the other direction, which structurally makes up for it. The Intrepid, on the other hand, isn't nearly as wide there where the dorsal slopes down into the warp field stabilizer. Tell me what you think: http://img27.photobucket.com/albums/v81/Irishman/WIP2.jpg -------------------- This is just fun...it's not life...keep this in mind and we'll all enjoy it much more Registered: Dec 2003  |  IP: Logged Gvsualan Perpetual Member Member # 968 posted                       It looks so fragile where the back of the 'neck' and the 'nacelle hub' connect. Otherwise she's looking good!! However, I get the impression that the Intrepid is an older Pre-NX model, so you might want to go the other way vesus NY. -------------------- Hey, it only took 13 years for me to figure out my password...
