(JTVFX) Star Trek III The Search for Spock - Genesis Battle (Recreation)

A trimmed down recreation of the classic battle over Genesis.

[@JTVFX1]

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I realize that the cloaking effect isn't the greatest/too noticeable and I have noted your observations and they will be improved on in future videos. Please try to understand too that despite my talent, I have only been animating for about six months and am far from being fully versed on Blender, tho with each video I make I learn something new. :) Thank you for your understanding.

It's a disgusting sin that we don't have any modern video games of classic Trek with graphics like this!

Good Star Trek games were overall few. I've got Elite Force. Some years ago, modders added an SP campaign based on TOS, and released part of it. Not sure if they ever completed it though. The settings were great, with classic TOS sound effects and musical cues.

[@chienforcer]

@@royroblox Right! STO Had potential for a bit, then the PEW PEW crowd got a hold of it and it went in the toilet... queues and shooting are all it is now... but for a while there were some actual stories and missions that you actually wanted to run with your friends... it was shortly after fleet starbases were introduced... and the foundry was kicking up big time... when they had random mission generating missions for the edge of the map areas and when you would beam to planets... and could explore stuff... nobody likes to explore anymore... it's too hard to think for simpletons... gotta be spoon fed or they quit with a tantrum

Sounds like a niche market, ripe for the pickin'. You game?? (Pun intended!)

[@lamelama22]

Star Trek: Bridge Commander does when modded. It's probably the best and most faithful Trek game ever made, being able to target individual systems like each separate disrupter / engine, and it was super easy to mod. People then added higher quality models, all the classic Trek ships (original game was TNG movie era), all the classic bridges, and lots of extra / improved features. Only down side was that the engine wasn't super optimized...

[@AvengerBB1]

Nice! I will always love Scotty's line. "I didn't expect to take us into combat ya know." Scotty, it's the Enterprise and Jim Kirk is in command. Combat should always be something you expect.

Incredible. Loved how the photon tube on the Enterprise 'powered up'.. the only 'constructive' criticism is there were times the cloaked Klingon ship was too easy to spot.. maybe blurring the cloaked edges would make it more mysterious? otherwise - wow - simply incredible!

[@yortsemloh1156]

In the original movie you could see it after it cloaked and on the view screen.

[@ianwestc]

@@yortsemloh1156 It was visible, but I think it was TOO visible here. I mean, at 1:42 it's super obvious. It's something that pops out at you, it's Bird of Prey ship-shaped even, but Kirk, Chekov, and Sulu are staring at the screen for quite some time until 2:15 when they theorize on what it is. Amusingly, to make this work, a few shots from the film are omitted here, where Kirk points the distortion and Sulu says that it gets bigger as they closer.

[@builder396]

I would actually go a step further and not use the BoP model with a shader effect over it (because you can clearly see even details like the torpedo tube) but only make a vaguely approximate shape with a much more subtle refraction effect, as thats likely closer to what the cloak would looked like originally.

[@luminaire4946]

Even in the normal movie you could see the ship move as the BOP cloaking system was not perfect. Remember klingons canonically (fuck discovery) Got cloaking tech from the romulans but it was several generations inferior to top of the line romulan cloaks. This is why in Elan of Troyus the enterprise could detect the klingon ship on sensors but not see them (the did the same in Balance of terror but NOT in the enterprise incident as the romulans had developed a far better cloak by then.)

[@ianwestc]

@@luminaire4946 I'm not saying there's no distortion at all -- in the original movie they can visually spot it. We're just saying in this remake video it's maybe a little too obvious, too quick and easy to spot, much more so than in the original.

Your new footage matches James Horner's movement here PERFECTLY, hammering home the sense that this poor, battered starship, our old friend, is still gonna give her last battle all its worth.

She had the history in her, of three years of television stories, novels, comics, everything that had been built up around her mystique since the original series ended. The ship Kirk fought to get back. And she died protecting her crew, one last time. People give Star Trek 3 crap, but it's honestly a great film in my eyes. It's the middle of a trilogy, which is the hardest part of any story to tell. The script may not be as tight as Wrath of Khan or as culturally grabbing as Voyage Home, but everything involving the crew and the Enterprise is amazing.

@@florbfnarb7099 has to go somewhere. Of course that would burn out all the circuits as it did in WNMHGB requiring replacement, but massive energy finds the weakest system to burn out.

IMHO the most beautiful starship design in one of my favorite scenes. Thank you!! VERY well done!!

[@k1productions87]

Did you know that unlike most other Trek films, the new ship designs in this particular film were made by ILM, not Paramount. Leonard Nimoy knew enough to give ILM the ball and let them run with it. And from that we got some of the most iconic designs of all time - Spacedock, the Excelsior, the Klingon Bird of Prey, the Oberth-class Science Vessel, event he Merchantman Freighter which gets redressed and reused in TNG about a dozen times

[@disorientedbear]

@@k1productions87 Yet another reason to love that man, thank you Mr. Nimoy, llap. I would assume that ILM was also mainly responsible for the Miranda-class as well. Those things are amazing and REALLY long-lived. I half expected a bunch to show up at the end of ST: Picard's final episode. Oh well, we'll probably get a few in season 2, they have to be still in service.

[@k1productions87]

@@disorientedbear No, the Miranda-class was an in-house thing, then approved by Nick Meyer, the Director (upside-down). The Miranda looks cool and all... but its basically just kitbashing the Constitution with some extra details.

[@disorientedbear]

@@k1productions87 Oops, II and III melded together in my head for a second. Makes sense. Star Trek has a wide (and awesome) history of creating "new" designs by gluing various components together (i.e. other designs, WWII battleships, common household items (razors)). The freighter design you mentioned before is a really good example. The TNG Romulan scout ship and various shuttle-sized craft seen in TNG's 11001001 are other examples. Yes they reused the Spacedock model in that episode, but it still worked. As long as the products are good, I'd tell them to keep "stretching" that ranch.

I think that’s usually an approach taken because of the actor’s need to give emotional weight to certain lines.

Too bad, it always does seem kind of silly.

[@ScottGammans]

I am loving these visits into key scenes of Trek! I do have one little comment about the photon torpedo firing sequence: since TWOK established that photon torpedoes are actual physical objects (and not blobs of energy), when the starboard torpedo fires, I expected to see the weapon exiting a tunnel-like torpedo tube rather than a flat orange plane. That’s it… that’s the only constructive comments/criticism I can offer. I am stunned and envious at your rate of production. Marvelous, just marvelous!

[@Zagadka42]

The current trope for space battles is lots of fast cuts to a multitude of different angles and highly dynamic ship movement. While a Bird of Prey might have an advantage of maneuverability over a Constitution Class vessel, we are still dealing with incredible amounts of mass on both vessels, and that they are fighting in the gravity well of a planet. While there may have been a couple shots that were slightly too static, overall this was an immensely satisfying and realistically more dynamic combat sequence than the original footage. That you have only been doing this (at the time) for six months or so is truly impressive and I really commend your work.

[@tmcleanful]

I'm going through all of these - so good. I've wanted this for classic Trek films for a while now - these are the scenes I watch over and over on KZbin. I have a dream, though - Babylon 5. I HAVE A DREAM that one day Babylon 5 will be re-released with updated special effects.
