The Enterprise in Virtual Reality

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.

Development Log: February 14 - 17, 2011: More than the Bridge

I started to integrate my model with Eric "GuitarEC" Clark's Blender conversion of Dennis Bailey's amazing model of the refit Enterprise. Retrieved from Star Trek: Blender (URL no longer valid)

It actually fits, how about that.

I also started modeling the A Deck airlock as seen in Star Trek: The Motion Picture and adding the control and display panels to the defense station. The Engineering station also gets textures for the display screens.
