OK, I guess the only way to get my thread back on-topic is to post a new animation!

The warp engine nacelle texturing is completed and I am now working my way down the pylons, then forward along the secondary hull, up the interconnecting dorsal, and finally the saucer section. The texturing is going MUCH slower than I anticipated, partially because I'm going for an insane level of detail on the texturing maps. You can barely see some of the weathering on the upper side of the port nacelle in this shot, but that's OK; the effect is supposed to be subtle (as opposed to the over-the-top job done on the studio model back in '92).
