Thanks evil_genius_180!
Here's a less-than-spectacular shot of the Bussards that I took while I was building her.
The bussards are a strange combination.
1. A modeled plate with 10 small hemispheres with an animated texture that simulates the lights, flashes and spill.
The plate is nestled within:
2. A hemisphere with a spinning blade texture.
The inner hemisphere is just underneath:
3. An outer hemisphere with a semi-transparent base color (kind of a pale pink/orange color) with a random noise bump map displacement and animated flashes and shadows.
So I guess the answer to your question is ... both!
