USS Archer: The Animated Series - Part One

Added 2025-11-05 18:16:15 +0000 UTC

It has always been my dream to make a movie.

One year ago I was working on my longest and most ambitious Daz Studio project: USS Archer. It features all of my characters, transformed into an all-female crew on a Constellation Class starship. The story is 110 images, available in full here on Patreon. Very recently I had the idea to try and animate it. The animation capabilties of Daz Studio 4 are incredibly slow and limited; however new technology has made it possible to give my story movement and my characters their voices.

I have tried to stay 100% true to the script I wrote for the original storybook format, and to the Star Trek TOS aesthetic. I've worked hard to find the sounds and music to make this feel right.

This is just the first part. Animating it has been a lot of work using new tools. The results blew my mind. I hope you like it. Whether I continue and attempt to animate more of the story is entirely down to feedback - likes and comments - that you leave. Some of the scenes may be tricky to animate, and I may need to do new renders to make the story flow and provide the necessary angles. Again, let me know if you want to see it.

SIDE NOTE:

Today I wanted to post my first ever video to Patreon. I now discover that, because I responsibly flagged myself as an 18+ creator, I have reduced privileges, and cannot upload videos - only embed them from other platforms. I hope that this embedded link from Vimeo works. I don't think that downloads are possible like this. Let me know if you try successfully to download, and how you did this. I don't have a paid Vimeo account, so the functionality available to me there is limited. The video should play at 1440x1080 resolution. Please let me know if it works like that for you. Thanks.
