Description
"Ahh, little Jedi. Thought you could escape us on a tramp freighter?""The thought had occured to me. What did you do with the crew?"
"Tsk. Tsk. I'd be more worried about my own life right now, little Jedi. I've cut all of your ship's power, dealt with your little pirate crew, and now, dear little Jedi, I shall deal with you too."
"You talk too much."
Happy May the Fourth everyone. I wish it was a happier one this year. I rendered this one up a few days before I heard about Peter Mayhew, and I thought about doing something with Chewbacca, but I just didn't have the time, or a wookie to use.

Excellent render! I've seen so much of your fantastic modelling and design-work, I haven't seen much actual rendering from you. Can't imagine you have much time left over after all the epic modelling you're busy with. I just went through so much of your work, both old and new and cannot believe how much quality modelling you've done. You must be a speed-modeller or something with all that fantastic work... various corridors, ships, meeting rooms and every type of futuristic environment imaginable. I also didn't realize you test stuff out and/or render with Daz (if i understood what I read correctly on some of your work), I thought the modelling software you use had some accompanying render engine it used or something. Didn't think your sets were even Daz-compatible...that's awesome if they are. Whatever the case-wherever they're rendered, I never get tired of looking at your models and WIPs

Thank you!
Yeah the modeling is a means to generating renders on down the line. When I first wanted to play around with this, there weren't many sets in the era I wanted to play in in Trek, so I could either pay someone to build sets, or I could put my mind and 3D skills to it and build my own. I'm by no means a speed modeler. Well parts maybe, but I get frustrated really easy and will end up setting something aside for a long time. My Civilian Trek ship and interiors, the main shuttlebay on the Galaxy Class and the Stock YT-1300 exterior and interior are a few good examples of this lol.
I build in Truespace 3.2 which is old and mostly reliable (there's a version 7 out but I haven't taken the time to play with it enough). 3.2 does have a render engine that's decent enough but it's not good enough to get me the realistic style renders I want. Plus, DAZ gives me a lot of options for characters within the sets and iray ends up looking great despite the long render times.
It takes a bit of work getting them ported over, Truespace 3.2 doesn't have a native export to OBJ, so I save them in their native object format and convert them to OBJ using a program called Deep Exploration and then I can import and texture in DAZ.
And thank you!

May The Fourth Be With You... Always. I remember playing the original STAR WARS video game in the old darkened Arcades, with Classic Heavy Metal Music blaring too loud throughout the whole building. Quarters were like Gold and they didn't last you long. Playing that trench run over and over trying to hit that target with the graphics that we thought were so awesome and advanced and super cool. Alec Guiness's voice over the game, like Obi-wan guiding you. THAT is what May The Fourth reminds me of. Over 35 years ago and I still would love to find that old arcade machine somewhere.

When I was growing up the arcade at Darien Lake Fun Country in Western NY had both the sit down version and the stand up version. I blew soooo much money playing that but it was a blast.

See, most kids today will never understand that feeling of a dark arcade and spending a fist full of quarters. With all the tech today they must get sensory overload. I had a great childhood for the most part. School was tough, with bullies, but those days had the best feeling, not like being an adult. When I was a kid I longed to see the future and now that I am in the future (2019, I mean WOW when you really think about it!) I look to the past for comfortable memories. Maybe I just let myself get old...

nostalgia hits everyone at some point in their lives. I definitely get that every now and again.

Fair warning, it might need tweaking. I remember the first time I tried it back in the late 90s it hadn't been adjusted for new PC hardware and ran so fast you'd have to be a Jedi to play it. There were adjustments in the emulator you could make to slow it down but I that first time I didn't know what to make of it lol

After talking (typing) with you, I decide to check an online retro game site and found the original NES version of both STAR WARS and The Empire Strikes Back. They are a bit hefty in price but I am considering getting them as I have the console for them. The old ATARI games of them were almost impossible to find back in the day, so NES versions are probably as close as I am going to find.

I wish I still had my Atari and NES.

Yeah, most of us didn't keep the old Atari consoles. I actually had an ATARI 7800, which was cool as I could play both the 7800 games and the older 2600 games on it too. The middle console, the 5200 had weird cartridges which looking back were more like the NES ones but the 5200 never took off which was kinda ashame as the 5200 did have superior graphics, even better than most 7800 games. I feel the 5200 was too ahead of its time and if it had been released like five years later it might have cemented ATARI among the NES and SEGA Master System sales and appeal.

I had the really small version of the 2600. I got it much later than my cousins who had the giant brick version with the wood grain. And my NES I had my own 13 inch black and white tv to play it on. They didn't want me hogging the 40 inch ginormous floor model Zenith TV.

Yeah, for my consoles A relative got a new TV and I was given his old 19 inch color TV and we had to get an RF Adapter back then to hook up consoles to the screw leads to a coax cable connection. The TV had screws that were used for antenna, it was that old and had no remote and had the old twin dials that lead from channels 2 to 13 on one then you turned that first dial to UHF and turned the second dial for higher stations. It was the early 1980s and we had no idea what a remote control even was yet.

Heh. YUP. There are days I remember that little TV fondly, and then I look up at that big 50 inch display and the fact that my phone is like half the size of that little old TV and I'm very happy to not be stuck with it. lol

I do feel 'spoiled' with my smartphone and computer and other things that I couldn't have dreamed up like twenty years ago. The Cable Modem with built in WiFi, Email, Socials Media Sites like this one. I never imagined any of this way back when, thinking about the future. I wanted the future to have flying cars like on 'The Jetsons', Space shuttle buses from the Earth to the moon every twenty minutes and spacecraft more like Battlestar Galactica and Star Wars than Star Trek. I love Trek but I thought that Star Wars ships would be one step to start and the kind of ships in Trek were much father away that I would not see it in my lifetime.

Even the Falcon uses a standard fuel drive for sub-light travel. Yeah it's a highly efficient future version, but it's still something we could achieve. That's the one thing I loved about Star Wars, their regular sub-light propulsion is huge and gangly and then the hyperdrive is this compact little unit attached to those engines. Whereas Trek it's the other way around. The warp engines are massive and your regular impulse drive is this compact little thing.

Thanks! I like it when my art muse whims end up working out
