Arrival

Final shot of the Enterprise's arrival at the Unity Device.



It took 3 days to make this shot. Recreating the perspective was difficult, as there has been no high resolution texture of the surface of the Unity Device.
The idea was that it would be a giant spherical machine, with accesspoints all over its surface.
Even in the original game shot you will notice the vast cities build on the surface.
The closest thing to it is the planet-wide city of Coruscant as seen in the STAR WARS movies.
I took it as a basic shape, looked at all possible screenshots and made a texture based on the circular cities as seen in the films.
You will also notice that the blue and green mountain-formations from the game are missing.
I tried adding them in some test-versions but it never looked right. It downsized the whole scene... the Device would look much smaller.

When the Enterprise now passes by, you get an impression of how huge this thing is.
