ok, some of you probably have this already. for those that don't, here you go...
the image is of v1.2, for max. it's a little different than the version hosted at SFM, in that i've desaturated the hull colors a bit, upgraded the lighting setup, and resized and/or reduced the color depth on many of the maps. this one should render a bit faster, without any noticeable decrease in render quality. here are the links:
max 3.1 version, with maps for defiant and valiant
optional map pack, with maps for 18 additional non-canon ship names
lightwave 7.x conversion by christoph "digitalsnake" troitzsch (includes the optional registry maps)
note #1 - the lightwave version is still the same as the previously released one, except for the replacement of the maps with the newer, more efficient ones.
note #2 - if the links stop working, it's because i've temporarily removed them from the server to conserve bandwidth. in the unlikely event that this happens, just try again after the beginning of the following month.
cheers,
