Despite criticisms, you and others on this site create things I can only dream of or that reside in my nightmares, you do create some excellent Enterprises, again another of many fine peices of work.

Thank you very much!

It's mostly the criticism that guides me, pointing out what I should do differently. Or I see something and ask 3D gurus like or on how to make this and that effects, and so on.

Nice, looks like the model.
Is the planet meant to be any planet specifically or just a red planet?

Thank you.

It's just one of those generic TOS planets.

Love the retro style my friend. I like that model, been playing with it in vue for a while , never been happy with any of my renders with it, so great job in capturing the spirit of the show with it !!

I finally got a plugin for Photoshop that does the "camera blur" plugin.

Whoops, I see now. Sorry.

So, if you can send me some drawings, I'll see what I can do.

Ok, where do I send them, because I don't want to upload them to deviant, and I can't send it in a note or something...
BTW, it wont be a very good drawing, but I'll do my best.

Ok, the lower left one is really bad... not that they aren't all bad, but, that is terribly horrific...
Sorry for the evil disgustingness, but that's the best I can do. Obviously it would be symetrical and stuff.

I see. So it has a saucer, a neck and a short engineering hull. From the hull comes a bent structre on the end of which there are two nacelles.

gopotter In reply to davemetlesits [2009-06-13 15:59:43 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I guess... it's design is the bases for the name, or is suppose to be...
And the nacelles are there a bit before it ends...

marriedman [2009-06-10 23:55:42 +0000 UTC]

Oh, by the way, I like the where the neck meets the saucer section. I had an old AMT model kit loooong time ago and that is about how I remember it.

For nostalgia I like the graininess of the image. However; for my taste this shot has a little too much. Grain definitely can lend to realism in renders, and I know you are going for the 60's special effects look, but I think this much detracts from the image.

I'm sorry Dave, I can't believe I said anything negative about any of your renders. Please forgive me!

Nice "screencap" again! As for the neck, maybe it's the area where it joins the saucer section... but yeah, I like the mesh, too.

the neck seems wrong to me, just finished watching the TOS-R boxed sets, something seems odd about this mesh. I'll probly put my finger on it when I've no net access somewhere lol, its always the way. Sweet rendering but something doesn't seem right about the mesh.
