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: April 29, 2011

Started work on main engineering. On an interesting note, most technical diagrams place the horizontal intermix chamber on deck 15, two decks above the cargo bay. In order to fit the second floor of engineering inside the model as well as angling the intermix chamber into the warp pylons, I had to move main engineering one deck lower than most diagrams.
