Here it is!! The Star Trek Animated Intro I did 15 years ago, resized and spruced up in 1080p!!

But because of the max size here, it's only 720p.

very cool art! I can imagine how it would look in 3D and you can see into rooms inside all the windows.

It would be so cool to see!

good good. One last bit of advice. When painting always ADD. Never subtract.

When you select a bone, paint the mesh to add vertices it will control. Never free control.

Giving up control can give control to some weird bone not adjacent.

Thou, maybe programs are smarter than 2010ish.😊

Like greyscale but from red<-->blue.

Joints start with 360 movement, but you can limit it to one axis, like your knee joint.

The basic principles are easy. I'm sure you can do it. I'm sure you've seen rigging bones before. You select a specific bone. Then paint the mesh. In Blender Blue means it 100% moves when the bone moves. Red means it doesn't move. a shade of purple means it partially is effected.

Very cool! It looks very well proportioned. Perfect so far.

Do you know how to rig? That would really be cool if you could rig it.😁

I'm curious which episodes you like? I actually like this one. But I can see how it might not work for others.😊

One thing I love about this is that space amoeba. Extremely well done for 1960. Even good for 2025. And slightly better than the revised cgi. The newer one was too cg on the black bit

He used to say every drawing you will make is already inside of you. To get to the good ones, you have to get out the bad ones first.

Keep drawing! Again and again.

Not because you need it. I say because its what my drawing teacher believed. The more often you draw, the more you can make your dreams alive.

And he was Glenn Vilppu. Head of animation Calarts. Lead instructor Animation Labor Union

I've noticed that my spell check seems to prefer i over o.

Of becomes if
Love becomes live.

Absolutely great work. I would love a place like that. Just ground level please.

But the fragile look of the home did make you feel that Tom Cruise was living in a fragile place that could end at any moment.

I've always loved the design work in that film! The copter, the guns, the computer table, and especially that home.

I love the design of the home but it scares me. 🤣
