Star Trek: Phoenix - New Fan Series

Star Trek: Phoenix is a new fan based series set 42 years after the events of Star Trek: Nemesis, in the year 2421. The series is scheduled to premiere on January 1, 2009.

We’re looking for anyone who might be interested in working on the show. Whether you work with 3D meshes or CGI or something else, we are now recruiting.

The series will be filmed in Seattle, Washington but no matter where you live, if you or someone you know would like to be part of the show, please visit our website.

“From the ashes of time comes the birth of a new saga”

Reminds me of the guy advertising the “star wars” fan movie. All of the models and textures mysteriously showed up on turbo squid for sale 1 month after the project was canceled.

Sweet! Signed up!

I am currently involved with this project on the CGI. It is going to be completely done in blender. I am currenty modeling everything from the ships to the interiors, but it is alot of work for just one man. Any help would be appreciated.

I can’t model, I’m hopefully animating.

We could use animators as well. Modeling is one thing, but building a scene is something else. We could also use people who will be willing for us to use their computer to render scenes as well. With the complexity of some of these scenes, it may take hours to animate a one minute scene.
On a seperate note, I am trying to talk with the creator on making some of the alien species in it CG to give this fan series a little more of different light and for me to use the new features in blender.

have you seen my model fo the star trek nemisis drydock?
if needed, I would be willing to donate it, plus any other mjodels I make. (I am working on a star trek mod for a game)

EDIT: since it’s been 42 years, baybe I can add some wear and tear in the stations texture. maybe some burn marks, meteor hits, broken areas, faded paint, that sort of thing.

Phoenix is like the default name for every project :stuck_out_tongue: looks cool though, never was a fan of the new star trek series’ I’m more of a Shatner man myself haha.

Yoda:
Really do appreciate it. Any body that donates models will recieve full credit either by a “blank model by:” credit or will be included in the credits as a CGI artist. You will be given kudos for your help. The dry dock looks good and we may need it. What other models do you have?

This is the first one I’ve seen. Could you post a picture of the Phoenix?

And lets not forget Marcus Fenix!

But none of this has anything to do with this thread, I was just making a funny :RocknRoll:

Oh, I thought you meant fan films.

Nah, I was just being an idiot

thanks!

and this is the only star trek model I have made, however, I WILL be making more in the future. the only problem right now is getting to the 3D file to finish it and send it too you. my computer won’t work, and I can’t do anything with it until it is fixed.

cheers,

Hmmm. Do you guys have a series bible? Excalibur and Farragut used to hand one out, after prospective collaborators signed a non-disclosure, of course.

How interesting, i happen to be designing a federation star ship.

I thought of a few more things I could do. if you need some concept art, i am your man. also, i never thought about it, but I could probably do some costume design. also, a question: will this show have new aliens? because If it does, I have several alien races I have invented over the years, (even background, how their tech works, how they use their tech, how the race acts. how the race reacts to other races, what type pf planets/stations/ships the race has, and what they look like, everything)

and I have made drawings of several of them. including this one, which I am quite proud of:

name: Amourieyans (can change)

history: the Amourieyans are a quite, law abiding race. they do not like violence, and will go to any length to prevent it. however, if violence is unavoidable, the entire race enters into a total war, as to end the fighting as soon as possible. once, the Amourieyans were forced to do this, but the enemy had a special weapon, that attacked the amourieyans immune system. the race nearly died out, but managed to preserve themselves by placing a quarantine on all of their planets. the race still lives, but they have no immune system. the common cold could kill one of them within minutes. therefore, they go to extreme measures to preserve purity. all of there planets have state of the art filtration systems, and no one is allowed to enter or leave their domain without being purified.

tech: the Amourieyans use crystals that cover the surface of their planet, (Gre’hedre Zå) the crystals can absorb energy from rifts in the space time continuum, which emit a form of anti-matter. the crystals absorb the anti-matter and than release it slowly over a period of weeks. the Amourieyans found that if you cut the crystals in certain ways, the crystals will either store, or release the energy with more force. also, all Amourieyans wear a specially cut crystal around their necks, because it cleans the air around them.

ships:

Amouriyan ships are remarkably similar to the human concept of light sail craft. except instead of using light as a direct force, the Amourieyan sails are made of crystals woven together. they absorb the energy from Space time rifts, and reflect it back with more force than when it was absorbed. however, they can also use a magnetic field to alter the shape of the crystals, so instead of reflecting the light, they pass it into batteries within the ship, to be used either as a more powerful Anti-matter torch, or, if absolutely necessary, a weapon.

diplomacy: the Amourieyans are usually welcoming to new alien races, so long as the stranger allows himself to be purified. they usually are more than happy to share their tech with them, in exchange for new tech from the alien.

phew! got a little carried away there… sorry :slight_smile:

there’s a LOT more, But I am getting tired. let me know if you find all this at all interesting. :eyebrowlift2:

cheers,

Yoda.

EDIT: forgot to mention. I have never tried to model the Amourieyan’s, but I am thinking of trying. if you are interested, I will have a go at it :wink:

Hmm, as far as a series bible, I don’t know. I will have to try to get Leo to answer that question for you. At this point in time I would have to say no.

Yoda: There are going to be new alien species and with it, new ships and technology. Your alien design and ideas are interesting as well as the ships. I will get Leos attention and see what he thinks about it.

The last 3d/ fan film of star trek I saw had some bad lighting in the cg ( and okay lighting in the live action footage)

needs work :slight_smile: - eg: make it look paramountish /use 3 point lighting or at least a dramatic sunlight / different warm colors
-amdbcg

I can barely model :D, and I’d be willing to render some
