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.

Continued work on main engineering. Modeling the intermix chamber, especially the plasma effect, was a challenge. I'm currently modeling based on The Motion Picture set, since it's simpler and contains the basic structure. I intend to eventually model the Wrath of Khan version with the dilithium chamber room. Last image (May 16) adds control panels and the two transparent lifts.

I decided to try to model a character. So I modeled the Wrath of Khan era officer's uniform.
