I'm sure for those who've been following me have seen how much I love #StarTrek & loved working on #StarTrekPicard #VFX . But even I had a limit. This shot broke me. At this point in production, I was burned & had to take a few days after I finished this shot. Worth it though.

This was a fun shot to do. The amount of detail put into the cube is insane. It had a couple layers of greeblies to make the shape, but our FX guy created a massive interior to create volume. Then he made it go boom. Another artist made the flying fireballs. #StarTrekPicard

One last thing I did before we wrapped production on season 3. I took every ship model we had and put them together for a potential behind the scenes clip. Never finished it unfortunately. There's two Titan A models, clean and damaged. #StarTrekPicard #StarTrek

In case anyone is curious as to my #StarTrek starship credentials... I've made it my life goal to collect and build almost every ship seen on screen, at the same scale (1/1400). This is my completed collection, with about a half dozen under Refit or construction.

And here's one frame of the #EnterpriseD that I shaded and lit for the #StarTrekTNG Remaster back in... 2011? 2012? It was for the junkyard scene from Unification. Spent 2 weeks perfecting the bussard textures and lighting. This was in Maya and Vray.

Boimler throwing his leg over the saddle in Pike's office and yelling "RIKER!" was so frikkin hilarious and perfect. Learning that it was improvised by Jack Quaid and knowing Jonathan Frakes was right there, makes it the most perfect thing of all perfect things. Amazing.

We had an in-house name for Vadic's handler. It was Goo Face. Imaginative, I know. And along with the new Changeling FX, we had terminology for the look. We called it pizza sauce and cheese. "More sauce." "Less sauce, more cheese." Super duper technical. #VFX #StarTrekPicard

Because I've been asked, the size of the mega cube at the finale of #StarTrekPicard is 25km on a side. Not including antennas. IIRC, the antennas got about 10-15km tall at their highest. Titan/Enterprise-G: 560.5m Enterprise D: 641m We built all these to scale w/ each other.

The coolest part of #VFX and #CGI is being able to create crazy levels of detail. What sucks though is when that detail gets lost in framing, lighting, and FX. But it's good to know it's there in case we need it. Here's the damage to the Titan-A from the Eleos and Shrike.

Because it HAS to be said: The writing by @Kiley_Ross and @Sean_Tretta , coupled by, to my understanding, @TerryMatalas ' directorial debut(?), we were all gifted with perhaps one of the greatest episodes of Sci-Fi ever, and most definitely one of #StarTrek 's. #StarTrekPicard

My pile of #StarTrek and other scifi kits is significantly larger than my completed kits. I have a variety of #BSG , #Macross , #Evangelion kits, the Raza from #DarkMatter , #TheOrville , not to mention all the stuff I've 3D printed... Maybe when I retire I'll finish them.

#StarTrekPicard #Spoilers . . . . . . . . . . . . . Unless it was what Alandra was referring to in hangar bay 12, I love how none of the Starfleet officers even considered the cloaking device. Not being able to use one is so ingrained in their mind from all the training.

And in case anyone brings up the size/scale of the ship, AGAIN, here's what a 180cm person looks like in front of that same panel Vadic and her goon are flying out of.

As a legendary captain once said, "That was...fun." #StarTrekPicard Let's talk VFX and how I'm a lying liar from Liarsville after everyone's seen it. Super mad props to the writing team for giving the VFX teams a great sandbox to play in.

@DelaynaPS I had the honor of changing the textures on the Titan CG Model to this, and this was one of my shots. As a hardcore Trekkie, this was a dream. @BuckAdmiral designed a fantastic ship. I hope to be like him when I grow up and get to design the Enterprise H or I someday.

It just dawned on me that in the last 8 or so weeks, my follower count went from like 200, to 1617. Now, if I can get to 1701 soon, I'll be a happy Trekkie. So, for today's #StarTrek ship share, the USS Antares from the TOS remaster! 1400 scale w TOS Enterprise!

Hey #StarTrek fam, just wanted to say thanks for all the love recently. Also, as a reminder, nothing that comes out of my mouth is official, I just have insight on some of the VFX this season of #StarTrekPicard , and not much else. Don't take me too seriously, mmmkay? #LLAP

Was about to go into my 2nd viewing of Episode 2 of #StarTrekPicard , and it's totally oversaturated. Like it's double lutted. Any way the fine folks at @StarTrekOnPPlus can take a look?
