After learning how to use Blender and Unity in CS 527 Computer Animation what do I do next? Model the bridge of the Starship Enterprise? My motivation was a long desire to create a model of the bridge of the starship Enterprise as seen in the first four Star Trek films. I have seen many digital renditions of the bridge of the Enterprise, however these tend to be the original TV, Star Trek V/VI, The Next Generation, or The Next Generation film versions.
Initial modeling of the bridge. As with the original set, the model is divided into 12 sections. I started with the turbolift sections, followed by the security station.
This is a project I started for fun after learning to use Blender and Unity while taking a Computer Animation class. As time went on, this project continued to grow from just a model of the bridge to a full virtual simulation of the Enterprise in Earth drydock for the CAVE2(TM) Hybrid-Reality Environment at the Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago. Modeling the original motion picture Enterprise since most of the other projects I see are Next Generation era.
