The cutting edge VFX of Star Trek IV
Updated: May 14
As goofy as Star Trek IV is, it had some cutting edge effects for its time. It was the first movie ever that used 3D scanning! While the resolution is not comparable to todays standards it's still quite amazing to see! In this video we go through the process ILM went through to create the scans and while we're at it test how close we can get - with minimal equipment - to Star Trek's results
