USS Absolution, named after a ship that used to appear on a Cartoon Network cartoon block called Toonami back when I was a wee lad.

USS Beowulf.

Also, if you still need help with the phaser turrets take a look at the USS Britain in the beginning of TNG 'Night Terrors'.

Whatever happened to this project? It was going to be the fan film to end all fan films until I posted my little "absolution" request and project suddenly went dead. I didn't think my suggestion was that bad. [Cool]

Still happening. But given as it's essentially me as producer / director and one person as the animator, using a CG platform that generally isn't used for starships, it'll take a while. [Smile]

STILL happening. As I said in the first post, it will likely take years. But at last, an update... Karl is now working on the Cube we'll be using. Link here:

We're going to re-render the first trailer with this and the Excelsior model previously seen, fixing various errors along the way. [Smile]

Looks good but needs those corners replaced!
Currently it looks a bit ....eroded.
I'm sure the various lights and such wil help it look more "alive" though.

Hmmm...do you plan on adding the green backlighting or just going with the studio model look?
Speaking of which, did they ever auction off the original Borg Cube model? I missed it if so.

The cube has yet to be lit and properly "coloured" to its rusty bronze look. This latest update shows how the edges are maintained:

Karl's re-done the cube again to match the new techniques he keeps discovering. I think we're close to signing off on this one:

Huh. I liked it better before- those big metal plates were not on the model and would have to be hundreds of meters across.

We're talking about that. But the big plates ARE on the original model in places, just obscured by additional pipes. We may have to remove them to be more accurate, but as it is we're scaling down the pipes so the cube won't betray its size:

A question- qill your Springfield have a secondary hull thingie? The moreI look at the model, the more ceratin I am that piece was just added for the one photograph.
You should use Fructose's (remember him?) model as reference, methinks.
