Star Trek Danube Class Runabout - UE5 Render

[@roysten712]

Stunning render! Looks so real you could touch it. Bravo!

[@korzyn1978]

Thank you. It's my first render in Unreal Engine 5. More amazing renders will follow. I'm texturing the inside of the Runabout at present - but it will take some time.

[@ozelhassan8576]

I love the Danube Class Runabout it’s a Awesome ship, if Starfleet was real I’d definitely get one for myself and circumnavigate the entire federation.

[@viceroy7792]

Gorgeous

[@NLaertes]

Starfleet's most awesome mini-van

[@HelenLannister]

Does a great job at underlining just how large a runabout actually is… it’s not the size of a car, it’s the size of a yacht!

[@fordprefect9749]

Have a runabout land on Moonbase Alpha launch pad, and then the pad lowers to underground. It's looks about same length as an Eagle, but a little wider.

[@nicholasklangos9704]

Then it finds the Jupiter 2 saves the Robinsons, then it lands inside the TARDIS says this thing really is bigger on the inside. The Doctor takes it back in time to stop the Cybermen from helping the Nazis...

Is it normal to have a full body trekgasm watching this? omfg yes.

Nice. Beautiful render and model.

[@EvilTheOne]

Perhaps I'm biased because DS9 is my favorite Star Trek series, although I feel that the Runabout is the nicest looking Starfleet vessel.

[@knytrydr73]

It's the RV of the Star Trek universe.

[@tra-viskaiser8737]

Always my favorite smaller ship... starfleet rv... I even have the delusion of one with a rivers name where I grew up. Most fun for a person or two to get around. Always needs the navigation/weapons pod.

[@kathrynjaneway5346]

nice, but, could you do an inside the ship look please?

[@korzyn1978]

Of course. Actually as you can see in my other videos the interior is ready to be textured but it’ll take time…

[@Firefox13A]

Fantastic!

[@JM1701ABCD]

Great work. Any updates?

[@korzyn1978]

Not at present, in the Winter I guess. Id like to make an Animation where the Runabout switches its Mission specific module. Also a full takeoff and flight to the orbit, through clouds etc. - that's the goal.

USS Rio Grande NCC-72452!

[@DanielBrainbox]

Sehr cool

[@korzyn1978]

Danke! Für einen ersten Versuch, ist es etwas geworden. 😁

[@paktype]

Wait - the runabouts had USS prefixes and NCC numbers?

[@RogbodgeVideo]

Well, they technically qualify as mini starships!

[@VulcanJEDI]

I would add just a tiny bit of noise to the red cones. It's too clean. Other than that flawless.

[@korzyn1978]

Mayby you‘re right. It is my very first succesfull work in ue5 so I’m happy with it at all. The next will be more spectacular

[@liamanderson4992]

Interesting that you assume it would fly like a helicopter. Nose fown to go forward, nose up to slow horitonral velocity.

[@korzyn1978]

Proove that I’m wrong. 😉 No, it just looks better that way.

[@mazack00]

Why's it so dirty?

[@korzyn1978]

It was sunday and the runabout wash was closed. 😉

[@ПавелКононов-о3ю]

Why does it land like a HELICOPTER (this is strange) and why does he land on the pylons of the WARP engine O_o!? Почему он заходит на посадку как ВЕРТОЛЁТ (это странно) и почему он садится на пилоны WARP двигателя О_о!?

[@korzyn1978]

Why do you hear sounds in space in the show? Why do the spacecraft in the show lean to the Side while flying curves? Questions over questions....

[@ChanceSarsis]

what does it take to be able to test that model and actually see it ? Been following your work for years, and been very much interesting trying to contact you

[@korzyn1978]

What do you mean, please?

[@ChanceSarsis]

@@korzyn1978 I have been waiting for the runabout update on Stage 9 which sadly was discontinued after the cease and desist from CBS. Ruining my chance to have one of the best replica there is from the runabout. Then I found you and been watching your progress for so long. I been trying to reach you out because I would love to collab with your work to make to possible to visit the spacecraft in VR. I am someone with fibromyalgia, who have a dream of traveling, and the ability to go anywhere in VR is very pleasant, even better when you can go to location you always been dreaming about.

[@korzyn1978]

Oh, understand. The thing is, I was working on the project very sporadically since stage 9 was cancelled and the progress depends on how my mood is. At present I'm continuing my work and I'm concentrating on texturing the exterior. It's worth to say that after I'm almost ready with it and it's imported to the unreal engine. Next I'll continue to texture the interior. First the fore section, then the back part. Once it's done I'll create a kind of unreal walk through 'game' like it was possible in S9. Unfortunately I won't share the project files. I could offer you a access to the playable game - once it's working.

[@ChanceSarsis]

​@@korzyn1978 If you ever need help with texturing, or unreal, do let me know and i would be more than happy to help. I am not that great with modeling, but texture wise is where I shine the most. If you rather work by yourself, this is also perfectly understandable. Just know that I am willing to help you. Good luck on your project, I am really glad that someone is working on the runabout at least.

[@sarcasticstartrek7719]

Why'd you make it so dirty, it looks like it came from a scrap yard.

[@korzyn1978]

Because it was on a mission on a dirty planet and there was no open runabout wash as they came back. 😉

[@1978rharris]

Nice. But why’s it so dirty. This isn’t a star wars ship.

[@korzyn1978]

@@1978rharris The starfleet is diligent and no runabout wash was open on Sunday 😉

[@1978rharris]

@@korzyn1978 ha! Fair comment. Don’t let my little nitpick take away from your awesome work. Love me a fine runabout. 😁

[@korzyn1978]

@@1978rharris No way dude. But the time ist not that good with me 😁

SHIP DIRTY WHY NO CLEAN

[@korzyn1978]

As I wrote before it was Sunday and the transporter wash was closed 😉

[@pillepolle3122]

@@korzyn1978 okay makes sense

[@khanfauji7]

Seems like a bad design. I would not want my expensive warp engines touching the ground and get damaged.

[@MS-qx9uw]

that might be the case irl, but trek shuttle design has had the nacelles as giant landing skids (with some suspension on the actual footpads) since TOS and i don’t think any screen-used designs have deviated from that template except the Type 10 from DS9

[@TheNinjaSandwichGaming]

Those aren't the engines. Nacelles simply take the Matter/Antimatter plasma and use it to power a Warp Bubble, the engines that provide thrust are actually the Impulse engines. Even at warp.

[@robloggia]

Well they're communists with ubiquitous fusion power and matter replicators so cost isn't really something they worry about.
