New wallpaper, showing the Enterprise orbiting an M class planet. This is my best attempt at building a planet so far without resorting to surface maps created from photographs of real planets and moons (which always feels like cheating). Now I just have to figure out how to do decent clouds...
A Dalek saucer gets a little too close for comfort, so Captain Kirk uses his renowned diplomatic skills to persuade it to go away.
I showed last week's wallpaper to a friend, and he said it was great, wonderful, excellent...except it looked like the Enterprise was going backward. OK, he has a point. So I here is another version with it going the other way, plus a third version showing the Enterprise experiencing a little wormhole trouble.
New wallpaper showing the Enterprise at warp speed.
I re-rendered yesterday's wallpapers with some minor changes (I made a tiny improvement to the Dalek's arms and I straightened the tube map up a bit). Click on the links in yesterday's post for the latest versions.
I recently got an email from a visitor to my site saying how much he liked my wallpaper of a Dalek looking at the London tube map. This prompted me to go back and have a look at the picture, and I got to thinking that I could improve it a bit. Here is the result in 1440x900 and 1280x1024 resolutions.
I have added orthographic wallpapers of my new cruiser design, along with a page of description about the model.
New wallpaper showing another view of the task force, this time with the destroyers Nelson and Cochise included.
New wallpaper, depicting a task force made up of the cruisers Pavel Cherenkov and Daniel Bernoulli, and the heavy cruisers Enterprise and Hood.
The Cherenkov and Bernoulli are cruisers of my own design. They're meant to look like they were built just after the Constitution class heavy cruisers, so they include some design elements inspired by the early movies. Currently I'm naming them after prominent physicists, but that could easily change as the mood takes me.
New wallpaper. The Defiant takes as hit when a Starfleet task force encounters a Dalek raiding party.
