beautiful - gone before her time. Sovereign class looked good in First Contact but I'm sure most Next Gen fans would have preferred seeing the Galaxy class fighting the Borg one last time. if the Enterprise D went out defeating the Collective it would have been a better finale than her ending up in the dirt of Veridian IV.
@colorado121 I see your point and I respect it. But The Enterprise E couldn't stand against the Scimitar, how is it going to handle a Cube? And don't forget that the alternate future version seen in "All good things" is still a galaxy in its core. Enterprise D could have been upgraded. But still - the E is an absolute beauty.
Me and my high school buddy used to fantasize in the 90s about a new Trek series with a Galaxy class ship and this music as the intro. I can't believe I'm seeing this 25 years later. Made me cry actually.
A Galaxy class masterpiece. You kept this ship in its original glory, kudos. The Earth space dock looks great. The blue hue reflecting off the Enterprise is a really beautiful touch that you do not see very often. Live long and prosper 🖖
@@alfabiajs7009 How could you not notice. The artistic abilities are incredible. I know nothing about cgi other than what it means lol. You have such a unique way in which the eyes are drawn all the details, including the small ones that if you were not a fan of Star Trek you might just miss them. I watch each of your videos multiple times just so that I can enjoy all the nuances of your work. It is probably obvious that I am a huge fan of your work. Thank you very much for sharing everything your FANtastic works of art with us the fans 🖖
@@mikep1592 Again thank you so much! Frankly speaking I still feel like a beginner in CGI, however I tried to optimize the look of these SciFy scenes that way that I like it.
@@alfabiajs7009 Never let anyone, including yourself, tell you that your art is inferior or just so so. I have seen movies that do not have your abilities. Keep pressing forward and enjoy your art. 🖖
Such a beautiful ship! My personal favourite. Shame she went down to soon! But “let’s make sure that history never forgets,the name,Enterprise” For she lives on, here! 😊 I have and always will be a huge Fan of Star Trek The Next Generation and the Movies that followed!
Late to the party but there’s one nitpick I’d like to make. The Space Dock is turning at a noticeable speed. It houses the Enterprise-D, so it must easily be multiple kilometers in diameter. At that turn rate the centrifugal forces must be enormous, probably way higher than 1 G at the rim. We can probably correct that with inertial dampening fields, but there’s no reason for it to turn in the first place.
You are absolutley right, the rotation would cause a lot of problems. I've done it only because it looks better than a stationary space dock. Physically it makes no sense.
One of the best fan pieces I’ve ever seen. Really Very Nice. Bravo!! Which one of Jupiter’s moons was destroyed to make this? The proximity looks like Io. What’s the backstory on that?
Thank you very much! I thought I should use one of the 3 Jupiter's rings (seen here as asteroid belt), I did not intend to destroy a moon :-). However if you look carefully the ring plane is not centered to Jupiter, artistic freedom...
Also! Sometime in the near future I’m thinking of making a fan series based around next Generation and was wondering if please could you make a title sequence for the series? Using this magnificent ship! But for the intro ending could you use 1:39 to 1:53 as it’s a fantastic angle and warp out
@@alfabiajs7009 thank you 😊 I was thinking of having the titles at the beginning in style of next Generation with enterprise D then after the logo it goes into the style of voyager but with the Enterprise D of course. But 2 things, could the enterprise D be called DEFENDER and look similar to the mirror universe version for Enterprise D via the pattern and gun on the saucer? But not a third nacelle on the back! Could the logo be in Voyager Style STAR TREK THE LOST DIMENSION Based Upon ‘StarTrek’ Created By GENE RODDENBERRY The names are as follows Starring SAM SPARKS as Capt. Vern Hawke DAVID LAGADU as Cmdr. Jim Shayne JOHN LEAHY as Lt Cmdr Richard Neto ANDY PRYOR as Lt. M’kor DOUGLAS BARRETT as Dr Wayne Fendall And near the end with Special Guest Star HATTY TERRY as Guinan Created By GENE RODDENBERRY But all the names and “Created By Gene” in the font of TNG
But for the intro ending could you use 1:39 to 1:53 as it’s a fantastic angle and warp Also I have the theme tune I’d like! Obviously it’s TNG How do I send it to you?
@@drwhofan90tardis14 That is already a larger thing. I would like to work on it, however I promised to finish some work for another fan group, still several scenes to render. When coming to this I would need some storyboards and so on. Please have some patience.
Well done! What rendering engine did you use? I have a Voyager model I made a long time ago, and haven't been able to a good render of the ship. Would love some tips!
The Enterprise D was too big for Earth's Spacedock. The times we see the ship inside a Spacedock like station, they are actually at bigger stations in orbit of alien worlds. Other than that, awesome job.
Elastic sizing, like the Klingon bird of Prey model appearing as the B'rel scout and then the K'vort cruiser. You may know that Andrew Probert had meant there to be supporting dock structures added on the underside of the filming miniature's main saucer specifically for capturing Galaxy class ships (and presumably Ambassadors also) to maintain visual consistency. Instead of taking the time and spending the cash, it was decided it'll be cheaper to just reuse all ST III's footage as is and simply suggest identical alien orbiting spacedocks were much (much) larger than Earth's. In fact reading all that back, I'm not too sure if Probert's intended additions were as a considered response to the decision of reusing the earlier film's footage or whether he came up with the idea first and the producers said "no, we'll go with footage we've already got and paste in Ent D? It's another base around an alien planet - who's to say it's simply not bigger?!" Anyway, I would love to see Andrew's solution of Galaxy class ships being parked outside under Earth Spacedock because they were too wide for the doors represented in a fan film sometime!
Um... Alfabia... I know that this is a lot asked, but... Please make me a personal favour. I'd like you or someone else to make a 3D model with the following design (and show it in a video): 1. Take a Nova class ship, remove its warp nacelles and their pylons, and stretch it forward by 50%. 2. Add drastically oversized Sovereign class nacelle pylons, so that the ship starts looking like Discovery. 3. Add 2 Emmet Till warp nacelles (check QuantumDesigns AZ) 4. The name? USS Eulalia NCC-9842721.

That would have been a fitting ending for the old girl.
Agree
Galaxy has more curves than the Sovereign and that makes the Galaxy sexy

That point when comments end up aging QUITE differently than originally intended, lol.
Now that was just beautiful. The Enterprise-D in all her glory and soaring like the lady of the stars she'll always be.
Lady of the stars....yes tear in my eye

I think the D will always be my favorite Enterprise.
“Remember when we used to be explorers?”
Bravo! I really like the color and lighting. Keep up the amazing work.
Thanks again! I very much appreciate your comments. Waiting for your next master piece...

Beautiful, love the way everything looks.
I love that this was modeled after the 4ft model. I always liked the beefier look of the deflector.
This is simply for me the best ever CGI USS Enterprise D.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful!
That was incredible
Galaxy class starship... The most beautiful ship in Star Trek. For me, it has some mystical cosmic feel...
Star Base looks amazing
Amazing!.....
Outstanding! Just makes me miss this ship in her glory days.
So amazing.
Beautiful and the camera work was amazing well done.
Impressive! Not just technically, but is artistically harmonious with Star Trek!
VERY good!
Never disappointed! Beautiful work.
Thanks a lot!
Wow that lighting is beautiful. Very nice render
Thank you very much!

Beautiful work! She’s such an easy lady to look at.
It was sad to see her crash land in Star Trek 7.
Top work 👏

Absolute beauty!!!

I know, I know ... Most people consider the old enterprise A to be the most beautiful ship, but the damn big D is much nicer for me
This video is TOTALLY WORTH WATCHING! Just because you included the EARTH SPACEDOCK!
Where did you get the 3D 'Mesh'(?) to include in your video?
Thanks a lot! You can get this beautiful model from Alexander Klemm's web page www.alex3d.at/.
Thank YOU, for your very prompt response, And the information about the Earth Spacedock 3D 'mesh'!
Thing o’ beauty she is
Whats the music?
From the horseback ride of Kirk & Picard in Star Trek: Generations, composed by Danny Elfman.
She went way before her time, great vid, I do love the Sovereign but I wish the Galaxy-class could have at least made it to insurrection.
I didn;t know RUclips allows porn videos... this is pure starship porn!!!!
Love it.

Unfortunately I am not a model maker, I only can adjust some details and texturing. The people creating these models earn my greatest respect.
I came to watch this after the disaster that was Picard. This is much better.
