Yeah, it does. I like that you added a lot of physical buttons and large access panels. That really fits with the Klingons' kind-of "old and grungy" look to their ships.

When I think of a Klingon ship, I think of the garage at the local gas-station.
It's noisy, dirty, greasy and has a bunch of strange men grunting about.


The mesh looks great - I'd say that your intuitions regarding changing this or that have all been for the better.

Hey, EG - I just wrote your Paris class ship into the animation.


It's not a major part but it's an important one.

Ok, when you get a chance let me know what size the texture files should be (YxZ) and I'll rebuild them so they're good enough to go with the set you've built.

It really does look fantastic.
I'm not blowing smoke either dude - it looks way cool.

Ok, cool deal.
And... really, you're damn talented my friend.
I wouldn't beat myself up over textures.
You craft a fine mesh.
I know I am going to get a lot of mileage out of this set and I'm sure many others will as well.

It looks great.
I hope that when I import it into Carrara that I get a nice lighting effect like you have going. You know, each program does it's lighting effects slightly different than the others - this pic looks really cool - It gives me a good refrence for when I do my conversion.

I'll spend the next couple of days working on some new computer screens.
With luck I'll create some that are good enough to go with the mesh.

Home run .. here is the first of few renders .. I have reached the end for this.. I will now pass this on to Fretslayer. who has been waiting patiently for this

I hope it works out ... once Fretslayer has completed this .. it will be uploaded to the downloads area

I have built a corridor // simple stuff .. for any shots that might be useful not able to stand up to close camera work ,,

the bright yellow panels are for texture .. controls and such .. as I am crap at that side of things I am leaving that to Fretslayer ..

Yes my generosity is something that has cost me many friends

It's stunning man, really.
I so can't wait to jump into this and being tweaking the computer textures and finally animating the scenes with it.

It's far beyond way cool.


I give it 10 thumbs ups!

Ok, I have the bridge in my hands now and I'm setting up the computer screen textures.
I'll try to post as many updates as I can so that this thread doesn't die.

With luck I'll have at least 1 to 2 pics to post today.
And I know I've said it countless times before but - Ger, you did an awesome job on this thing. I've been running cameras through it like a kid at an amusement part - it's that cool.

I don't have many textures mapped onto the computer screens in this shot - just a few - but I wanted to post it anyway because it looks cool with a Klingon hanging around.

*All of the same credits as before except now we have the Daz3D Xerr*

With luck I'll have the rest of the comp screens done in a few days.
I'm done for the night because now I must drink beer, eat chicken wings and watch my team play on Monday Night Football.
