I’m so glad there are people out there with more time and talent than I have to dedicate to amazing passion projects. The one I stumbled onto last night has been something I’ve wanted since I was a little kid, but couldn’t possibly hope to accomplish.
It’s early in the project, but one man has made fantastic progress creating a virtual tour of the USS Enterprise D, from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The twelve minute video shows only a couple rooms in the absolutely massive ship, and he’s trying to recreate the entire thing on a 1:1 scale using the Unreal 4 engine.
It’s ambitious to say the least, but starting out with just that video…I have to say, I’m hopeful. If the project doesn’t get hit with a cease and desist in the near future, one of my childhood dreams could be coming to life.
Be sure to check out the project’s website if you enjoyed the video.
