OK WE’RE ACTUALLY LIVE NOW
a little hiccup at the start but we’re here
The Enterprise-D is all set up in the top right corner of the canvas.
Obviously, the ship is the highlight, here - I’m thinking we should probably outline it in black, and then fill it in (ideally with better colours than the ones in the template - I just used those for shading).
The starfield is less important, and should provide a nice space for people to blend our template with the others.
Have fun!
And it looks like it’s just a matter of holding the line now.
I think it looks great!
I’m no longer available today, but I was working on replacing the light blue pixels with light grey - it just seems to look better.
If anyone is able to finish that, awesome. If not…still awesome!
I think a lesson learned for future years is that we can’t have any significant sections white pixels.
White areas are just an invitation to populate with other things.
I’m wondering if @ValueSutracted or @Corgana could save a screenshot of the Canvas pixel colour set. That way, next time a template is designed, it could have more of a one-to-one correspondence with the options in Canvas.
Other lesson (although it wasn’t a problem in previous years) is that if we want the website banner, we may need to get that sketched out very early.
For future reference:
Fantastic!
And it looks like we need to hold the line again.
Someone seems to think the plain grey area on the left hand side of the saucer needs another decal.
Here’s what I’m going with for the colour replacement:
The darkest green in the template = “medium grey”
The lighter green = “light grey”
White = “light grey”
Light blue = “light grey”
I worked out what to do with the red for the Bussard collector I’m the right nacelle to match the left.
But what colour is the light cyan blue in the middle for the dish supposed to be? Should we go with a blue of some kind since we’ve used all grays?
Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and enourage everyone to get creative with the dish, and find what looks best. A blue/red combo that resembles the show should probably be possible.
People are already drawing “over” our template - this is absolutely fine, since they almost certainly can’t see it, or what we’re doing.
I think it will be cool if we can just go “around” their stuff, so it appears that the Enterprise is in the background of whatever they’re doing.
Think of them as decals!
In the end, it looks like the Big D is just blowing through some holograms or perhaps an asteroid belt.
Engage the main deflector array!
It’s fine for the Enterprise to have corporate sponsors…right?
Ok
I clearly have forgotten how to be able to see our template.
I am logged in as a StarTrek.website user but not seeing it.
I ran into an issue where once I was logged in, I had to close the tab and re-launch the template from the link in the post. Annoying, but it worked.
Thanks - I tried closing my browser view but when I relaunched from the link here, I just see the outline rather than the template.
Third try from the embedded link for the template and I am there.
