Thats a very nice rendering, dave, I think you are improving.

What an amazing labour of love this is. I can relate, I built my own HAL control panel with HAL sound bites programmed to the analog controls. We are so lucky this film was made at all. The amount of time and money it took, no studio would ever risk again, let alone any director have the deep attention to craft as Kubrick did.

Wow, all the gaps left from seeing only the movie sets are all filled. I appreciate your project as a 2001 fan and somebody who struggled my way through two terms of Lightwave. Thank you!

The Discovery is one of my favourite places. Thank you !

Beautiful! Makes sense of the complexity of this beautiful spacecraft. Ahhhh.... to go back in time to 2001! Thank you Steve!

The pod bay is effectively zero gravity so in 2001 they showed movement while always holding onto something and with Velcro footwear, in 2010 they forgot this and just walked ‘normally’.

Amazing work sir,internally and externally this is a beautiful ship.

Martin Amer of BBC 12 could not have shown the Discovery better. Seriously, Steve, you have done a wonderful job on this. Thank you. I was not expecting much from the headline, but I was dazzled! It is totally immersive. Love this!

"Just what do you think you're doing?"

Can't believe I haven't seen this yet. Great job

Many many thanks for that ! An incredible reconstitution, we are on board in fact. Congratulations !

Gorgeous. Brings back so many memories. Thank you.

Starlog Spectacular (1990 Series 2) has the complete exterior/interior plans of Discovery One, but THIS comes very close to what the plans look like. Great job!

There is a VR rendering of the centrifuge section I use with my Valve Index. I assume it is available for other VR headsets as well. It is not super-detailed or interactive but gives a good idea of how difficult walking around the deck would have been. I don’t have any idea of the financial practicality, but I would think there is great potential in re-creating movie and TV sets for VR platforms.

Fantastic! I've been waiting to see something like this for years.

Very Nicely Done! THANK YOU!!!

I'm Planning On Making The Discovery In Minecraft, And This Video Really Gives Me A Really Good Idea Of The Interior Layout.

Love it! Thanks for making this!

Just an amazing video! Wonderful. I noticed that you bypassed the centrifuge completely. I've built a table top rendition of the centrifuge. I think of it as the primary set for the film. I believe it is rarely rendered because of its complexities. Seeing what you've rendered here, I know you would do wonderful work with the centrifuge. And, it would complete the areas filmed for all interior shots on the Discovery.

Good work. As an improvement, add captions to identify the rooms and their function. Also overlay a small map displaying the position relative to the ship.

Thank you for making this!!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you!

A number of topographical errors here, based on observations, stills and the actual blueprints from Adam Johnson’s book 1. The hublink is not situated on the same level as the flight deck. It’s much lower down sitting on the ship centreline 2. Where is the Bridge breaker panel situated behind the right seat?This reconstruction is based on the mirror gag used to give the impression of weightlessness, a picture that was used in the Life magazine article back in the 60’s. The padded area directly behind the command flight area and the breaker room/HAL Logic Centre vault is only about 2 feet wide. 3. The ladder access to the staging area/breaker room/flight control deck is much further back in relation and actually doesn’t open straight into the staging area.

Spectacular just like the movie.

Brilliant work ! You showed me a connection I'd not realized and an area I'd overlooked. Great job taking the known ship layout and using it to interpret the visuals from the film. Of course where the film skipped something we're still stuck scratching heads. I noticed you glossed over one unanswerable question-- "Where was the fifth spacesuit stored?"

While we were in the pod bay, I half expected to see an old version of Dave Bowman.

This is a great piece of work. I’ve waited to explore the Discovery for 53 years. Is there a centrifuge video ? I wonder if there were any living spaces behind the main sphere around the dishes ?..ie lifeboats etc but you got the detail quite right.

Thank you Dr.Hunter!

This is one of my favourite space craft and I would love to see a real one built!

This would be a great map for Duke Nukem 3D! Maybe great is too strong a word, but it would be heckin' neato!

OMG! Thanks for this!

Terrific work.. Thank you.

Love this! But you forgot to include the sleeping/galley areas. Would love to see that in conjunction with this vid!

what about the rotating torus? there is no tour shown on the rotating torus habitat.

Thanks! I have wanted to do that since I was about 8 years old.

brilliant work! o m g

Great job! We want more now. Reconstruction of parts of the film that have not been shown. Say, preparations for the discovery spacecraft to depart from earth orbit.Better yet, an alternative ending to a film where Dave would actually arrive in an alien world rather than a nursing home.

That was great!

1:47 omg it's Dave! 😂

Very clean and tidy. The ISS looks like a teenager's bedroom.

Thank you! I loved it!

I would like to say how much I enjoyed this …But I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that. 😄

“What do you think you’re doing Dave?”

Hey wait a minute! Weren't you one of the doctors killed by hal 9000?

Great job on this!

Terrific work! I was hoping to see the centrifuge though...

great work!!!

Really nice great job

Nicely done, all we need now is a jog round the carousel.

No Pepsi is permitted in the HAL compartment.

Fantastic! Wow. Thanks.

lovely work... :)

A brilliant creation. I take it the gravity area of the ship won't actually fit into the ball section? If you ever update this it would be interesting to see some transparencies of things like the memory core from the outside...

Excellent!

very enjoyable - thanks!

I noticed you avoided the dreaded Centrifuge. It never fit into the ship because there were huge amounts of confusing between Kubrick and the Makers of the time. In the end Stanley didn't feel audences pre-moonlanding would be sophisticated enough to notice the spacial issues. So, they just moved forward with this flawed exterior design.

Excellent ! I subscribed.

Nice work, keep in going.

Great stuff!

imagine being stuck in that thing forever, damn I could do it if I had all of YT onboard

nice work, but there’s a number of topographical errors. The Bridge doesn’t sit on the ship’s centreline, rather above it. This walk through is based on the sets being linked up. The huge padded room behind the bridge is only around two feet wide and the Bridge breaker panel is behind the right hand seat looking into the Command sphere window aft. Shame I can’t load pictures here.

The design of Discovery 1 is so fun and fascinating and a childhood fave! But the centrifuge section never really works out not to mention it would’ve never provided gravity at best it would’ve been like a dizzying ride at the carnival Don’t get me wrong I love the film and your representation here is wonderful

This is such a cool video.

The padded area behind the pilot seating is too big, this is the mirror gag to give the impression of weightlessness.What is actually behind the right hand pilot seat is the Bridge breaker panel then the rest of the breakers and access to HAL’s brain room. The embarkation area is not at the same level as the Hub Link, as this would put the command deck on the ship centreline and off centre too. The Command deck is above the hub link you climb down to access it. Also you don’t access the embarkation area straight from the lladder from the Athena room, you have a linking corridor to the embarkation area.

I appreciate the effort put into making this. Thank you. The designers of the ship wasted a lot of space I noticed. Some connections and support rooms were badly designed,for real functionality. I had always wondered about the layout of the Discovery,now I have a better idea.

Amazing Thank You!

Awesome!

Nice, thanks.

Was there ever an explanation as to the weird orientation of the command deck seats? They don't look like are in the right position to resist acceleration forces (and I'm not sure the Discovery to generate that many g's under thrust anyway)

Great work, thanks for posting! still wondering where the hamster wheel is though...

This is really cool ... what is it based on? I always was wondering where that room was where Hals memory modules were?

Nice! Thanks

Would have been nice if you had named the different rooms and levels and had gone into the center hub . Other than that , perfect !!!

I see one major desgn flaw, I´ve somehow missed before. If the pod bay doors, for whatever reason, stays open. Then the crew would never be able to rertieve their spacesuits. They are in the pod hangar as well. In the vacuum of space..?

very cool

Great please continue the tour?

Impressive

Wonderful! I hope someone makes a simulator or game someday.

Why are the seats angled down forcing you to look up to see out the window?

Cool.

Awesome.

Outstanding work! Two things, if I may. One: A map of the ship with a "You are here" indicator would be a welcome addition. I kept losing track of where I was inside the ship, in relation to the exterior. Second is only loosely related to the ship. The circular corridor that rotated to generate artificial Gs. If you jogged AGAINST the rotation of the corridor at the right speed, you would negate the rotation and remain in one spot in relation to the rest of the ship. Wouldn't you then return to Zero G and float?

At least she does not have a SPORE drive. Nice Khachaturian music. Gayne Ballet? It’s featured on Telarc CD

Awww, we didn't get a look inside the centrifuge?

Wow, this is really impressive for 2001.

NIiiiiiiiiooooce👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

2:21 why Captain Skott (star trek) are in Discovery 1 (2001 a space oddissey)???

Well done

Fabulous. Of course, minus just one little thing....

2:22 I never understood why the seats were angled like that. Did the designers want the pilots to wreck their necks looking out the windows?

I still can’t figure out where the centrifuge is located

It is my opinion that the design for the Discovery might have been influenced by Matt Jeffries' early sketches for the Enterprise. Also...Trek Veteran Gary Lockwood was featured in "2001"!!!!

Why isn’t the centrifuge shown with all the workstations and the hibernation vessels?

this is like MYST... cool

00:20 Disturbed by not confirming outer door closed before moving on...

Wish we could see the rear section

I still don't understand exactly wear that loop is in which they could jog in circles. I do not see any room for it.

Could probably do this really well in Unreal 4. Might be easier too, for a similar result. I always wanted to learn to program the Unreal Engine.

Kubrick would have truly enjoyed this .

Cool 😀
