The 2027 Ships of the Line calendar is up for pre order. It was a pleasure being a part of it, together with my friends Lewis, Lauren, Howie and Thomas. I hope you all enjoy it! #llap #startrek a.co/d/09Kwrxt4

Well, it's taken a little over a week of grinding away at this shot, but I finally got it done! Modeled and Rendered in Blender by me Composited in After Effects with Red Giant Suite Edited in Premier. #blender3d #startrek #scifi #3dmodeling #animation #spaceship #vfx #scifi

Moar texturing on little detail pieces from the suit, just applying final touches to things...

My ship, the USS Atlantis, was briefly mentioned in this week's Spacedock video: youtu.be/KN6I87EWkdI?...

Today is Star Trek Day, so I feel like some (pretty gay) Star Trek art is in order

I guess a little late, but here's a render to not let Star Trek day pass by. The USS Atlantis and the USS Kaneda side by side. It's cool to see both generations together! #startrek #llap #scifi #starship #spaceship

"Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning" TOS Enterprise model by me Modeled in Blender, Rendered in Cycles Composit in After Effects with Red Giant. #blender3d #startrek #3dmodeling #scifi #spaceship

Double post today! A rarity! Just a couple of quick renders of the USS Atlantis for a request. I'll have more news on this soon. #startrek #ussatlantis #starship #scifi #space

I wanted to post this right after the Kaneda, but it need some more time to cook. It's a remaster of my Connie model I did a few years back with a bunch of details that I had missed and/or chosen not to do before. www.artstation.com/artwork/5Wg64J #startrek

Michigan [ #art #startrek #startrektos #3d #blender ]

Here are a few more renders of how the Bird of Prey is looking right now... Does anyone know when the extra panels were added to the top of the wing, between the 'pyramid' and the raised ridge? I'm thinking maybe for Generations, but maybe it was earlier, when they were removing the.. 1/2 🧵

Fan animation by Lewis Niven - a recreation of the opening shots of "The Return of The Archons" in CGI whilst keeping the look and feel of the original www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR8g...

It has been a while since I've posted. Work and personal life took priority over the past several months, but I'm working on my projects again. Over the next few days and weeks I'll start to post them. To start with, a TOS version of the Akira: www.artstation.com/artwork/rlnavO

USS Michigan, first of her class, in orbit over a distant red world circa 2266... [ #art #StarTrek #TOS ]

"Wolf pack!" Enterprise by me, Klingon D7 model by Robert Rose. Modeled in Blender 4.3 with Lens Sim Rendered in Cycles Compositing in After Effects #blender3d #3dmodeling #startrek #scifi #scifiart

Starfighter.

3D model of HMS Agamemnon that I completed in... *checks in horror* ... 2004. Horatio #Nelson was captain of Agamemnon, a 64-gun third rate ship of the line, between 1793 and 1796. Later, the ship took part in the battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar (amongst others). #NavalHistory #Cinema4D #CGI

I like TIE fighter. You like TIE fighters. youtu.be/4OPr7q_bW4U?...

Here's the updated Star Wars Cockpit render from last night - More MFD details, 4K render, better lit button flashing, and a ton of other improvements. Still to add: Joystick, pilot hitting buttons to trigger MFD changes.

Time for a #Klingon #BirdOfPrey update! I have been detailing out the main hull over the last couple of months. Still have the bottom panels and the rear to do, but I think the worst is out of the way now! 🖖🖖 #Qa'Pla #StarTrek #TNG #DS9 #LLAP #Cinema4D #Redshift #CGI

Resin render #hardsurface

Cleaning out my Instagram account since I haven't been using it lately. With AI stuff and the app being generally garbage, no point. After removing about 400 follows, I went to take a look at my feed. First 2 posts were of people I follow. The next 30 are either ads or suggestions. Total fail.

A couple of USS Atlantis details. Hope everyone has a great year! #llap #startrek #starship #spaceship #scifi #cgi #3dsmax #atlantis

Okay! Got an update to this ancient shot, but it looks *muuuuuch* better than it used to! No music yet, but I'm just really happy to see this coming together to look like what I see in my brain. :)

Not much happening with end of year and all. So have a couple of new USS Atlantis renders! #llap #startrek #starship #spaceship #scifi #cgi

More renders from my #HMS Tremendous project. This is as far as I've got so far, but intending to return to it in 2025. Here, the internal side planking at gundeck level has been added. You can also see some of the funky 'cast' knees, curved to avoid other timbers below #NavalHistory #Cinema4D

After the #LowerDecks finale, what’s next?! A MOVIE?! Come on let’s follow #StarTrek tradition make the Cerritos hit the silver screen at like warp 8, or something. Go all Sovereign Class. Maybe even a 4D immersive experience with a collectible popcorn bucket. (Concept poster by me) 🍿🔥🖖💫

A Happy Holidays to all 🖖🖖😁 #StarTrek #StarTrekLowerDecks

The Vulcan Science Directorate has determined that Christmas is a time to be "jolly." If you celebrate, enjoy the holiday! #StarTrek

Another busy day at Starbase One. . . Jacoby (Fitzgerald class), Intrepid (Constitution class), and Dulles (Cantwell class) models by me. Starbase One by David Metlesits Rendered in Blender 4.3 Composited in After Effects with Maxon Red Giant #blender3d #scifiart #3dmodeling #startrek

Quick test with a chunk of my Y-wing model that I will return to next year- I made a demo Substance Painter smart material to mimic the kind of paint details ILM did on their Y-wings. Everything but the yellow paint mask is procedurally placed, so you can randomize the seeds to generate variations!

Poor, inexperienced, pre-rigged Blue Rookie!

NEW — #StarTrek dives into #LowerDecks in a new art book celebrating the animated series in 2025, and dives into the making of STAR TREK III in a hardcover retrospective More details: blog.trekcore.com/2024/12/star...

We're winding down the year here at Cryptic, and to celebrate the holiday season I wanted to share a piece of amazing concept art by @scorpiondesign.bsky.social of another STO starship remaster coming to you early next year. The Hope is the ship that dares to ask: What if Vesta, but roumd?

Continuing with the USS Atlantis interiors. In the first image you can see the hangar control room, and the conference room. Closeups in the other images. Need some finishing touches. #llap #startrek #starship #spaceship #scifi #atlantis

The #Enterprise-D comes to a full stop as a #Romulan #Warbird decloaks directly ahead. A frame from my Warbird Encounter animation. #1701-D model by Lewis Niven with a few modifications by me. #StarTrek #TNG #D'deridex #GalaxyClass #LLAP #Cinema4D #Redshift3D

In the process of figuring out how to set up a good lighting rig for the animation. Models by Chris Kuhn and Lewis Niven. #b3d #lighting #rendering #animation #startrek #ds9 #enterprise #tng #fanart #3d #wip #cycles #learning

And it's done - I really like how this looks. Happy with the new cockpit, happy with the updates to the character and overall animation. Hope you like it!

Witcher 4 was properly announced today, but it's hard to feel excited when all comments online are about Ciri being old, or being a woman, or whatever bullshit reason they come up with. CDPR has always made great stories, I trust they will pull this off #witcher

Some interior work I've done for the Kusanagi. This is the lounge on either side of the ship. You can also see the mess hall in the last image, thought that's still wip. #llap #startrek #interior #cgi #starship #spaceship #scifi

New Artwotk - " Migration "

Here is my take on the Cheyenne class, from about 15 years ago. There are a number of changes from the model built for the graveyard scene in Best of Both Worlds, most noticeably the neck windows being smaller to fit the deck plan I worked out for it. #StarTrek #TNG #Starship #Borg #LLAP

Monday's suck. That is all.

Spacesuit and thruster pack design by Jack Johnson for Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

And today is the 45th of Star Trek Motion Picture. Not my favorite, but one can't deny the impact this movie had. And it gave us what is, imo, the best Enterprise design. I didn't have time to do anything special, but here's a study I did of a scene from it a while back. #llap #startrek

My God, that's a big ship. Happy anniversary to my personal favorite Star Trek film, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. To celebrate, here's a teaser from an upcoming STO ship c-store bundle...
