It might just be the lighting, but I liked the darker gray better. But I'm sure you'll prove me wrong.

Speaking of nacelle FX, anyone see the Remastered Firday's Child? Remastered “Friday’s Child” Screenshots and Video [UPDATED] | TrekMovie.com

**Four Mad Men** · 01-09-2007, 07:17 AM

Actually the lighting is the same, just using one of the new relfection shaders. Anyway...

It does bring out the detail. Although the grayness is lost. So although many of the TOS scenes show most of the ship very overlit I've backed it down somewhat to reclaim some of the aforementioned grayness that I like and don't think I want to loose.

So you we're absolutely correct Tallguy...

From a distance.

And a little closer to the camera (and a lamp).

got the playing texture right, i think, but the color is supposed to be off-white gray, no? it still looks cg, for some reason. but it is very close to perfect!!!

**Brickhead** · 01-09-2007, 08:41 PM

I think it looks like a screen cap off the show. Perfect 4MM.

**Four Mad Men** · 01-11-2007, 06:59 AM

Well I suspect it will always look CG. While I am trying to duplicate the feel of the show I'm not trying for photorealistic.

Thanks BH. Thanks everyone. The work continues. Tonight's episode is called: Light, Color, & Specularity...

P.S. I'm still trying to get the warp domes to look decent in a power down state without having to tweak the material settings back and forth. And not with complete success. Ah well.

I think it looks terrific 4MM. And you're right, the tools that we use betray themselves in their product, do they not?

The setup for your warp domes in a power down state ... how are you doing that?

**Brickhead** · 01-11-2007, 10:53 AM

Fantastic job 4MM, the textures work is most impressive and really put the finishing touches on a great model.

**Dr-Timelord** · 01-12-2007, 10:17 AM

all you need to do is add some grain to the pic lol

**scifieric** · 01-12-2007, 01:01 PM

Yes, it is an outstanding job and 4MM's attention to detail betrays his love for the old girl. Excellent work!
