It
always annoyed me that LCARS 47 didn't have 3D elements in there. There
were a few tiny 3D elements, but they were done on the fly and let's
face it, they're pretty crude. Other bits just 'look' 3D through
perspective trickery.
Well, all that's about to change. I just learned 3DS Max... This image will become part of a "Molecular Analysis" animation for the medical systems. Click the image to the right to see an animated GIF version. It's basic, but it's 3D. So far, my skills are limited, but I'm told I have a warped mind, so I should be able to pick it up fairly fast.
Thankfully there are a ton of 3DS starships out there on the Internet already meshed up thanks to the generous contributors of places like Scifi-Meshes and so on, so I guess there's no knowing how far we could take this.
