It's a first pass getting everything setup for the lights. I need to watch some of the original episodes to get an idea of where I want to go with the lights and the vanes.

Pass #2

**Four Mad Men** · 01-03-2007, 09:22 PM

And off with the AO...

And this one is for you Eric. Thanks for the inspiration.

I did exactly the same thing!

Wow! The "off with the AO" is already close to the look of TOS. With some tweaks in lighting, you'd be pretty much there already!

I'm honored! Thanks 4MM, that's a great image! Your work is so extraordinarily superior.

I, uh, can't resist!

Thar she blows! err... warps.

OK, quite very pleased with this one...

Maybe I can stop tweaking now, my render finger is starting to hurt.

I think that last one definitely qualifies as a beauty shot!

Spectacular work 4MM. Just gorgeous!

You've been rendering with your finger? Use Blender! LOL!

Eeeeexcellent. Any chance of seeing those domes animated anytime soon? And you simply MUST let me have that recipie. Any new Blender stuff used in it, or is it just a great use of the same ol' same ol'?

One suggestion, anytime you try a new nacelle dome method, render from the SIDE too.
