Starship Enterprise: In "Cool 3D" Format

[Jerry Jones]

Here is a model I found on the Web.

The guy who made it spent an entire year on it using Blender.

So I exported from Blender into DirectX format.

I then pulled that into Corel Cool 3D Production Studio.

BE SURE YOU DON'T USE IT FOR ANY COMMERCIAL ENDEAVOR AS I BELIEVE THE ENTERPRISE IS COPYRIGHTED.

Unfortunately, one can't use Corel Cool 3D Production Studio to modify colors of these DirectX models.

So it would be better to develop such a model from scratch using the tools in Corel Cool 3D Production Studio.

My Cool 3D Production Studio skills -- unfortunately -- are not sufficiently advanced to do it.

This could take a long time.

I understand the fellow who developed the model in Blender spent an entire year on it!

But this model shows how close one can get in Corel Cool 3D Production Studio.

I forgot to mention... you have to use the "resize" tool in Cool 3D to adjust the ship's proportions from "fat and thick" to the shape that is in the actual TV series.

After you do that, it looks pretty amazing (as far as shape is concerned).

Of course, the colors aren't right.
