Veeeeerrrrrra nice! I find the yellow windows give it a touch more DS9, something I like.
"To live on as we have is to leave behind joy, and love, and companionship, because we know it to be transitory, of the moment. We know it will turn to ash. Only those whose lives are brief can imagine that love is eternal. You should embrace that remarkable illusion. It may be the greatest gift your race has ever received."

Very Nice. You could throw USS Challenger (NCC-71099) on it and release it as part of the Delta Quadrant Pack as Geordi's ship from Timeless.

Maybe we could have expected the old D to look something like this if it had survived Veridian III.

Ok for a few days we've been messing around with the bump situation. The way ive been doing it originally was using the bevel effect... but last night i decided to actually use the bump map effect which is in photoshop. Once that was done limey applied it to th model then "burned" it to a texture... This however didnt really work, so i used the bump maps & applied them to the normal texture. If you dont understand it, thats fine, as long as i do. :P

Anyways i think the bumps look a hell of a lot better, probably more like you sorta get in a game which supports bump mapping.

Here's the pics

I agree, that looks much better (and I'm glad I understood all of that :D.)

Excellent job! This looks awesome.

Will these enhancements be released by themselves or will they be part of a pack?

I hope they will be just stand-alone.  :)

Well for now i've only done the Enterprise, if i have time i'll do the Venture, but that will be it. I may supply blanks, depends on what people want.

Thanks Luke, Yeah ill put the blanks separately. I think this new way of bump mapping will certainly enhance a lot of visual aspects of the game... no more bevel effects. :D

DJ did give permission for this to be released after summer, just to let the original find its feet on bcf, so me thinks you can all get ready for this. Ill need to re hp it because it was waaay too strong.

Glad you all like it

Hey JB, dunno if you've noticed but there's no escape pods on it (unless i've missed something you said earlier). It should look like this shot from Generations.

Thats the Generations Enterprise with refited escape pods. The Season 4-7 Enterprise which this is based on has pods similar colour to the hull, as ive done ;)

Yes you're right. But I have spotted something else.

I got this screencap from S6 Birthright. The hull colour looks different here but I don't know if it's just the lighting you've used in the system. But by the looks of it, it doesn't have the red on the outside of the registry and those yellow bits below the registry are longer and thinner ;) But I don't know how canon you're going for.
