Honestly, everyone's first Star Trek inspired model to create in 3D seems to be the TOS Enterprise, probably because it's quite easy to make relative to ships like the NX and whatnot.
I tried to argue the very same thing once on a Star Trek Facebook page, and I got immediately shot down. I'm glad to see that other Trekkies/Trekkers share some knowledge of history and aesthetics.
Ah, when I was a very little girl in Glasgow, early 60s, My parents would take me to see my granny. We would go by the urban electric train. At a certain point in the journey, I could see the Clyde and the boats on it. I would always look to see if a boat with a star on it's funnel was there. If it was, I would point and yell, "look mummy, a starship, a starship!" I wonder...🤔...😄
YES! You have reintroduced the magnificence and beauty of the original Enterprise. Indeed, you have raised it to the precise level of the TMP Enterprise, which I thought would NEVER be matched. You have earned my thanks, my admiration and my respect.
Beautiful! Thank-you for creating one of the few fan-made TOS 1701’s that do NOT have ridiculous glowing blue nacelles on them. Thank-you for honoring and respecting Trek canon. Just lovely.
But you have no problem with the glowing red impulse exhausts? They were never glowing in the original show. I have no problem with the glowing blue nacelles.
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 It’s not much of a stretch for the impulse engines to glow red considering from within engineering they very clearly glowed amber/red. So why wouldn’t they appear red on the outside? Extremely minor. The huge glowing blue warp nacelles however is a radically major, non-canon addition lifted directly from The Motion Picture re-fit- many years before they were installed on Starfleet vessels. It’s glaringly wrong. Adding a twinkle here and red hue there isn’t a gross violation. There are 3rd and 4th degree canon violations- and then there are FIRST DEGREE violations. There’s a blatant difference. First degree canon-breaking is illogical, confusing and screws up in-universe continuity. Just cuz’ it’s pretty, doesn’t mean we can change history. Hey- let’s give the TOS Enterprise quantum torpedoes, and swoop back nacelles. Let’s make TOS Kirk black and Uhura Latino. Hell, give (non mirror universe) TOS Spock a beard. They did THAT in Discovery. Why? Because that series doesn’t give a damn about legacy or history. They do whatever they want- damn respect for canon. Which is why I won’t watch it.
@@aw3752 The point was, if you're gonna be anal about not including blue glows on the nacelles, then you ought to be consistent and not do red glows for the impulse engines either. If you're going to add red glows, then why not blue glows too?
@@noppornwongrassamee8941 Expecting reasonable respect for canon isn’t being “anal.” As I said, small tweaks that don’t effect the overall appearance of 99% of the aesthetics aren’t first degree offenses. You do see the nuanced difference, do you not? The glowing blue nacelles are glaringly large and stand out tremendously. It’s not a small addition. It effects the entire look of the ship. It’s too much. In fact, if you look at the remastered efx TOS series that was done years ago, you’ll see that the creators painstakingly adhered to design canon. They lovingly enhanced and beautified all the effect shots. BUT- even they added the subtle glowing red impulse engines. It didn’t effect the spirit of the original series’ aesthetic at all. It’s so small, you almost don’t notice it. But- had they added the glowing blue nacelles- it would just be ridiculously wrong. So they didn’t. So what you call “anal” I call respect for canon and generally advocating for keeping with the design appearance that came before. That keeps things congruent and consistent with established in-universe Trek history. It’s quite simple. Call me a purist if you like. I can accept that. If the show runners of Discovery and Strange New Worlds didn’t want to hold to TOS design canon, thinking it would put off younger audiences, then why not set these new series years after the Next Generation era? Then their super-advanced designs would make sense and there would be no inconsistency or need to re-design the past. OR why not set the shows in the Kelvin timeline where at least the design changes made to the TOS era have a logical explanation. But for the producers to double down and insist this is the prime TOS universe is just completely irrational and utterly nonsensical. There’s no explanation given for why everything looks so radically different. I don’t think my perspective on this is unreasonable. I would happily watch and support these Trek series if they could just provide some rationale for their trashing the TOS legacy.
Hello Scott, thank you! Your model and a few others inspired me to make this model. I like your revised U.S.S. Enterprise, too. For me your Enterprise is magnificent (included your videos)!
VERY NICE! I think what you accomplished was done very tastefully, and it's true to the original series. I think they should have done with the stars what you did with them when they re-did the effects on the original series.
Nice. I *still* say someone should do a faithful remake of the entire TOS, with the same stories, keeping all the hardware faithful to the original, but with better effects and more believability.
@@jv-lk7bc I've seen a few of those episodes, which were pretty good, but I didn't think that the hardware and effects measured up to what a big budget studio could do. There's also "startreknewvoyages" which is similarly good but it has the same problem.
Production values are great, but the best episodes offer solid stories, good direction, and fine performances. Remaking "Journey to Babel," "The Doomsday Machine," or "City of the Edge of Forever" would be as pointless as that Van Sant Psycho remake. As for the rest, all the rewrites and production values in the world can't salvage the bad episodes like "Spock's Brain." A live-action "Yesteryear?" Oh yeah, I'd watch that!
I only have 2 nits to pick: the impulse engines should not be glowing (running) when at warp and the warp nacelles should have the blue light radiators lit up on the sides. Even though not shown in the series for technical reasons, the coolant for the warp nacelles has to be as shown in all later Star Trek vessels.
Its a beautiful animation but I always had an issue with the star field. If each streak or point is a star, the Enterprise must be bigger than an entire solar system
It was my understanding that the warp nacelles provide the warp field, but not the forward velocity. The impulse engines do that. You can make a warp field around a ship but without the impulse engines it’s going nowhere.
Beautiful rendition and man do I miss that old music! So full of hope and primise
The Enterprise has to be the single most digitized space ship. Everyone wants to create a render.
This one was particularly good.

“When I was here, I could tell you the speed that we were traveling by the feel of the deckplates....”
Scotty, TNG episode Relics.
Before the Enterprise, there was no such thing as a Starship. She is one of a kind, beautiful, and SO original.

That's one beautiful ship.
Gorgeous ship, and great scene. With the music I was waiting for Kirk to start a captains log entry.

The movement makes the Enterprise look so graceful.
Excellent clip. The Enterprise looks real and thank you for uploading this video.
Absolutely beautiful! I love the subtle panel lines while still retaining the smooth saucer section look. 👍
She's Beautiful Classic Starfleet with Awesome lights speed !!! 🖖👌👍🖖❤
That was my favorite theme. Set up great anticipation.
Yeah , I love it !! 😎👍

Verrrrrry nice!
My gosh! That was wonderful! Or should I say, beautiful? How about both?
This is lovely ❤
They broke the mold twice with this ship, in her original configuration and her refit mode.
Excellent work! Very good attention to detail, it pays off.
This is magnificent. Better than my 2007 model. No comments or critiques to offer. It's A-1.
Hello Scott, thank you! Your model and a few others inspired me to make this model. I like your revised U.S.S. Enterprise, too. For me your Enterprise is magnificent (included your videos)!
"All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by...."
She might be 58 years old but the design is timeless and beautiful.
Goosebumps.
Very Nicely Done!!!
wonderful! I love star trek! keep it up and more!
The one in Airplane II was a laughter too!
I like that the Space Backround is slightly Blue. Reminds me on Wing Commander 1
Magnificent
How anyone could believe that model needed updating is beyond me
Sorely needed. Thank you!
VERY NICE! I think what you accomplished was done very tastefully, and it's true to the original series. I think they should have done with the stars what you did with them when they re-did the effects on the original series.
Could snw start an episode exactly like this please. I would probably cry lol.
Awesome work!
Queen 👑
Way way better than the jar jar Abrams version
I just love that music.

its called Star Trek Continues

No. Remakes suck. Stop with the everything needs to be remade bullshit. Nothing can beat the original.
No insult intended, but the _Enterprise_ will always look best shot as a model. Cgi just can't compare.
I agree and i wish people would stop doing it.
See, CBS, you can light it! ;)
Very cool
Nice.

Good looking out ! Now sit back and enjoy your Romulan ale with the rest of us and relax bro.
Wow! That is great!
It feels as if we're treated to an alternate opening of "The Doomsday Machine." 🖖
Fascinante!!!
God I love that ship
Beautiful Lady
Its a beautiful animation but I always had an issue with the star field. If each streak or point is a star, the Enterprise must be bigger than an entire solar system
Space..the final frontier
Awesome job! It looks amazing! How did you do the moving stars?
I've made a "tunnel" with points in Lightwave, set them to a 1-point polygon and illuminated them with glow.
Hey, do you mind if we use this in an intro for a podcast? thanks! :)
Hi, no problem. You can use it in your podcast.
Very good, I am trying to produce something similar - I have a long way to go, you have set a fantastic benchmark!
I like you're profile pic.
Hey Aggi! Do you mind if we use this for the intro to a music video that we are filming at Neutral Zone studios in a few weeks?
Hi BackstabberPunk, please feel free to use this animation.
@@aggi250 Thanks so much and keep up the awesome work
At warp > impulse engines off
It was my understanding that the warp nacelles provide the warp field, but not the forward velocity. The impulse engines do that. You can make a warp field around a ship but without the impulse engines it’s going nowhere.
Hey mind if I use this as clip for my video? I left your name in the credits!
Please, feel free to use the video as long as you credit my name.
good work ... but this clip should have been accurately titled. This is not footage from the original series.
Dont get me wrong the tos Enterprise is good but god damm that neck is way to high for my liking and to smooth
that is how warp speed should be portrayed in real spacetime no stupid hyperspace tunnel effect because its not hyperspace. warp is not a jump drive
Nice, but the CGI is invariably given out by the deflector dish
Holy smokes I thought this was the orginal stock footage, guess not. I was fooled. I would have preferred the orginal stock footage.
The ship is beautiful, but I'm not a fan of the star streaks.
There’s no excuse for CBS to have done such a shitty job on their remaster.
Looks fake.
Well, you're not wrong. This IS a work of fiction.
@@MattJohno2 If you're trying to make a joke, okay. But fiction can look real.
I like it 👍
