A personal project, I first found a concept design by Chris Madden for the Enterprise-F back in 2011. Here is the original image.

I first developed it in 3DS Max (rendered here) which has since been used notably by Alfabia JS).

This inspired me to revisit the model. I imported the old mesh into Blender, retopologizing it into quads. To reduce polycount I used decals for windows, paneling & markings. This reduced it from 820k tris to 145k when the model has 2 subdivision levels.

The aztec panelling was produced by rendering images of my Starfleet Material, available here.
