Jordan renders


The always industrious Jordan sent me some recent samples of his CG work. Jordan notes, "My equivalent to [collecting] is downloading CGI models from online modelmakers' trading sites, and then working with them to get better at CGI. I DID NOT BUILD this TOS bridge model but I added the ceiling and re-did the surfaces and the lighting and then did these renderings. Work in progress."

Seriously though, what an interesting and cool hobby!

The original Enterprise bridge is the ultimate chill crash pad. Are you kidding? You ask "Library Computer" to play some Beck.

But I love visualizing what that room "actually" looks like (Kirk's bridge) rather than the whole place lit up like a concert because its 1960s television with inferior film stocks that needed those brilliant lamps shining on everything. This model shows the "bridge" in your mind's eye; the way it actually would look as a low-ceilinged, highly-technologically-sophisticated metal room.

Now I'm imagining Beck covering "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen"...

Purists will also note: whenever I'm rendering the "actual" TOS Enterprise interior, I always politely ignore the damn pastel-colored lights shining everywhere on the show. I just made an executive decision: "Those peach/aquamarine floodlights? Those aren't there."
