Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

I see the last update here was almost two years ago now. So I guess this isn't going to be completed. :(

None of the good things I was hoping to see happen as a result of Xtranormal dying and its IP passing onto new owners ever took place. The Axanar lawsuit also discouraged me from the idea of ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

Hello. I've updated the Fem Trekz facebook page with as much information as I currently have about the sale of Xtranormal's intellectual property.

The legality of using the State Plus toolset has has now been resolved. I don't know if anyone in the future might be interested in making their own ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

I will follow along to see if you finish the Earhart, and if you do...

When I first started, crowdfunding wasn't as big as it is now, and I was reluctant to ask for donations because of it looking like profiting off of Star Trek. But it seems like all Trek fan film productions are being ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

In the course of all this, Xtranormal went out of business. I released an "abandonware" version of the software with my enhancements and a flood of refugees joined my forum at StatePlus.net to install it.

A few months ago I was contacted by Xtranormal's liquidator who is (by coincidence) also in ...

Were you still planning to finish this?

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART


I thought you were working towards a really great original design!


So did I. I couldn't help but show each WIP to friends and family, I was so impressed. My dad sells cars for a living and he's always been interested in industrial design. He was really liking the car-like elements. I even had ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

It is amazing. Raul is an awesome 3D modeler, and very generous to donate his time on my project for the 2nd year in a row with so many others competing for his help.

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

When I look at the hull as you have it now, with fewer details sticking up, you can see how Trek-like it is, because of how you broke it up into panels with seams between them. You may have also been thinking of body panels on a car. It's really really good. The back wall where the engines are is ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

The louvers (grill) will require that you make the top edge parallel with the lines instead of slanted. Other than that, looks great! And surprised how fast this was. The piston animation can be worked out later, but the look is good.

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

OK, I have a problem with the hinge on the rear door. It's very bulky and not aerodynamic. As a piece of detailed 3D modeling, it's fantastic work. It just doesn't look like it belongs on a streamlined hypersonic drop-ship like this. Here is another picture of a Mazda 3.

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

The level of detail here is far far greater than anything I imagined. Excellent!

This already looks better than anything that they could possibly have come up with for Voyager, just by virtue of how much thought has gone into the design.

Be careful when you bevel (inset) things, though. The front ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

It is a split-aileron, so it can act as a rudder or an air-brake. So it is two pieces with two hinges, although they would both move together most of the time. Because it's trapezoidal, you may run into problems with how the hinges work. The pieces will angle downward. We mentioned this back then ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART

I was undecided about Chawla because Fem Trekz is partly a comedy. I don't want to upset the family of that woman who died in the Columbia accident. Usually I like people misinterpreting things in Fem Trekz, only to discover the other layers later, but with something like this, I want to be ...

Re: Fem Trekz's U.S.S. EARHART


So, after removing the lettering on the bottom, outside modeling of Waverider can be initiated ?


Yes. I'm very happy with where you are taking the design. I can see in this the long evolution that led to this, with all of its influences brought together. Seeing the texturing applied, it's ...
