Heart of Stone (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 14) Odo tries to keep Kira’s spirits up as she is slowly consumed by a crystal; Nog seeks Sisko’s help to join Starfleet
Rewatching ST:DS9 In a runabout, Kira bickers with a grumpy Odo. Kira: You’re right. Next time we are invited out for dinner, I’ll make sure you are the one to say no. Odo: I’d appreciate that. There’s warmth under the snark on both sides, though as usual Kira isn’t aware of how much she means…
Lighting makes a difference. The officers’ pub from the interplanetary cruiser #steampunk bedtime stories I used to tell my kids. #blender3d #aesthetics #design #blender3dart
The first officer’s office adjoins the officers’ pub, because of course it should. Working with lighting and textures for my #steampunk #neovictorian #blender3d project. #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Learning the hard way, by making mistakes and starting over. The fore section of the fantasy #steampunk spaceship from the bedtime stories I used to tell my (now adult) children. So much brass and glass! #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Life Support (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 13) Bashir keeps the gravely injured Bareil alive to help Kai Winn secure a treaty with the Cardassians
Rewatching ST:DS9 An accident aboard a transport arriving at the station rattles Kai Winn and seriously injures Vedek Bareil. Winn suspects the accident may have been sabotage, infodumping to Sisko that Bareil is crucial to the success of secret peace talks with Cardassia. Winn admits that since she won the election as Kai, her former…
Another #steampunk interior. High tech garden gazebo or away team dropship? Why not both? #blender3d #aesthetics #design
Random #steampunk workstation with a porthole, because why not. Most of the surfaces are flat, with lovely details added through bitmap magic. Those curved stairs, when stacked, form a spiral staircase. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
First time experimenting with depth of field. The pilot’s perch in a fancy #steampunk cruiser. #blender3d #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Combined, base color, roughness and metallic passes. #Blender3d steampunk control panel.
Many things in the world are awful. But creating this #steampunk #blender3d control panel helped me pass an hour or two quite joyfully. #design #aesthetic
Past Tense, Part 2 (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 12) Sisko must channel social unrest on Earth in 2024
Rewatching ST:DS9 After the recap of Part 1, Sisko, in the persona of Gabriel Bell, reminds loose cannon BC (from the “ghost” gang) that they have to keep the hostages safe as their bargaining chips. Just when BC starts showing Sisko some respect, the veteran cop Vin tries to be a hero, and Sisko has…
Past Tense, Part 1 (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 11) Plot contrivance particles strand Sisko, Dax & Bashir on Earth in 2024
Rewatching ST:DS9 The Defiant is ferrying Sisko, Dax and Bashir to Earth for a Starfleet symposium. After a nice bit about how “There’s no place like home, no matter what color the water is,” and some social comedy about tonight’s formal dinner with an admiral, we get a video call from Quark that fills out…
More #steampunk #blender3d goodness. #design #cgi #blender3dart
Fascination (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 10) Comic crush after crush; that’s about it.
Rewatching ST:DS9 A character-driven farce, in which most of the major cast and several recurring characters get massive crushes and/or are comically crushed upon. Jake is sullen because his now-former girlfriend Mardah has left for school, but reluctantly agrees to attend the Bajoran Gratitude Festival with his Space Dad. O’Brien is jittery because Keiko and…
Defiant (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 9) Riker visits DS9, and it’s he who’s titularly “defiant”
Rewatching ST:DS9 After an overworked Kira snaps at Bashir, the good doctor’s prescription is an evening at Quark’s, which includes a chance meeting with Commander Riker, on leave from the Enterprise-D. The next morning when Dax pries her for details, Kira insists they just talked. That evening, Riker bumps into her on the promenade and…
Meridian (#StarTrek #DS9 Rewatch, Season 3, Episode 8) Dax falls for a man from a Bridgadoon planet
Rewatching ST:DS9 Kira tells Odo about the pleasure of drinking too-hot coffee and, in order to escape the attentions of the smarmy merchant Tiron, role-plays that she and Odo are lovers. (She doesn’t notice how Odo reacts when she takes his hand.) On the Defiant, a “commander’s log” lampshades the fact that this episode features…
Tweaking yesterday’s #steampunk workstations. Now with darker wood (better contrast with controls) and more pre-rendered texture detail. Brightened a bit in post. #blender3D #blender3dart #design #aesthetics
Above the Forward Ops conference platform we see the chief engineer’s station and a glimpse of the pilot’s perch. Nice reflections on those beautiful control panels. #blender3d #design #aesthetics #steampunk
