    Does anyone know if there is a Nemesis style uniform for G8?  I looked at page one, and didn't see anything.

    Oh nubbins, G2 clothing does not work on Genesis 9.  Also OOT's G3 Sweater Dress has some wierd fitment issues with autofit in the crotch area,  We really need some new uniforms that will work on G9.  Can't have a Startrek adventure comic with everybody in the buff.

    Thanks but I am looking for TOS & TNG mini dresses.

  • What about the universal dress (sp)?

    I said SP because I wasn't sure if I had the spelling of the product correct. I was doing it from memory. Posted the link here after I had a chance to look it up.

    Sad to hear that. So many of the TOS Trek crew have made the final journey. crying

     

    On a slightly happy note, my Carrera is finally working again! YEA! Thank you, Wendyluvscatz!!

    To celebrate, I present a fellow who's litterally been "waiting in the wings" to finally show up:

    For now, this is just a static pose. But I do have some ideas about how to make the body feather suit move with the figure.

    So, I upped the feather density, applied separate instances to the figure's covered body parts, to set up for a posable outfit. I'm very pleased with the results:

    I'm not quite as happy with the head morphs used here--I'm going to go back to the earlier version. To get that conical peak on the Aurelian/Skorr heads, I'm going to use prosthetics in their place.

    And my aim to make the feathers fully pose with the figure they're parented to, I was not entirely successful...

    Fortunately, there is a workaround:

    While doing research on them the last few days, I've come across some interesting tidbits. Prior to this, I was leaning 70/30% toward the idea that the Skorr and Aurelians were seprarate worlds & species, much like the Romulans are offshoots from Vulcans, or the possibility that Caitians may have evolved from the K'zinti.

    Indeed, there was someone who makes a compelling argument in favor they're not the same--however, that person focused on features like the size of their necks and presence/lack of a pelvic fluff. Instead, a better argument would be made by taking a look at their hands--Skorr only have 3 fingsers & thumb while the "Aurelians" have 4 fingers & thumb. 

    (BTW, Despite notes that were in the original script, Aurelians are never actually publically mention as such until the Animated episodes were novelized by Allen Dean Foster, who also happened to be the first to publica;ly call M'Ress a "Caitian").

    The species was never named in the "Yesteryear" episode. Hell, for that matter, that specific BIRD isn't even mentioned by his/her/its name, and they're frequently speaking to him for much of the scenes where they're together!angry (again, his name was mentioned only in the script's speaking role list: "Aleek-Om")

     

    But then I took a closer look at the screenshots of "Yesteryear" and discovered...

                    ...Four fingers...                                                     ...THREE fingers...                                             ...And Look, Ma! NO HANDS, AT ALL!! cheeky

    So, this whole debate seems to be rather muddied by simple animator errors.

    (or the guy was really a changeling and he was just [messing around] with people to see if anyone would notice.... Kirk clearly wasn't the ONLY one to fail a perception check)

     

    Since "Jihad" was the later episode, T'Char's thicker neck and missing pelvic fluff were likely just meant to be variations between individuals and intended to make the character look different from the one who appeared in "Yesteryear" (Yeah, the one from the Clint Eastwood movie: "The Bird With No Name").

     

    So, now, I'm 50/50% about whether they're different planets/species/races.

    Indeed, I might even be going 80/20% in favor that they're the same race when considering the hightened risk to the galaxy if a Federation member world were suddenly to go apeshit nuts over a missiong icon--the Vedela's worries might very well have been justified.

    I suspect insterstellar relations between the Skorr and the Caitains have always been strained.  Every time they attempt negotiations, the Caitians can't resist staring hungrily across the debate table! wink

    They're certainly lucky they only had to face T'Char and NOT Tweety!! If they had, Kirk and Spock would have both ended up at the Elba Funny Farm with their minds permanently scrambled! laugh

    Well, with Krow's help, I definitely Skorred with this one:

    Isn't there a morphing fantasy dress type thing for the latest Genesis? Or one that can be converted? The sleeves of the universal dress wouldn't work for a TOS uniform.

    Does anyone know if there are any models of the DS9 Command deck?

    How about, "Star Trek: The Really, Really Naked Time"?

  • Because they had to take it down.

    I was kinda hoping this thread may have been updated. Especially as we have had lots of cool new stuff in Discovery, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy and now Picard.  Anyone have any sort of indication of when we might be getting updated?

    Most of this stuff was made towards the tailend of Star Trek's heyday.  I don't think we'll ever see the same volume of fan content again.  For one, Paramount has gotten much stricter on that kind of stuff, and two, the franchise as it exists now just doesn't have the same hold on fandom as it once did.  

    If the current product were better, and more consistent with the Roddenberry/Berman era of Star Trek, I think we'd see a lot more people inspired to create fan art.  That's just my opinion, of course.

  • There's content out there. They're just making it for STO.

  • TimbalesTimbales Posts: 2,333

    I don't think there's as good of a base for making uniform textures as the Gen 4 Valiant/Courageous combo. 

  • randym77randym77 Posts: 276

    Agree that Valiant/Courageous is a fantastic base. For everything, really, not just Trek. I hope the new Poser figure comes with something like that, but it'll probably be just clubwear and skintight stuff that's hard to make into anything else.

    IMO, the issue with new Trek isn't necessarily quality (though I have some beefs with that), it's that it's only available through rather niche streaming subscriptions. It means not a lot of people can watch it, compared to the Trek that aired on free TV.

    Has anyone been working on the uniforms from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? (Love that show)

  • blutobluto Posts: 838

    MAYBE
