Why would the windows be blacked out if they are working in the ship :P

Well, if they're not working inside the actual ship then having the windows on would be silly.


Also this isn't a BC shot :P

I know, but DJ made the ship so that it would work in BC and BC can't illuminate windows from the inside. The active windows have to be textured so that they appear online before the alpha can be added.

What would be better is if you could use the Bumps that DJ uses for the NanoFX Viewer....

Then we'd see the ol' four footer making her CG appearance :D

Looking great there Kirk.

But in his mind, it isn't a war galaxy. Its just a normal galaxy with a different deflector.

My love

He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.

His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

These are beautiful, Kirk! The drydock one really struck me too with the lack of stars. It helps draw the attention to the focus and at the same time gives the illusion that the sun is very bright.

You irritate me, sir!  :funny I need to get off my butt and try doing this stuff sometime, there's been so much inspiration showing up on this forum recently, your renders included.  ;)

NASA's been at the airbrush again... :p

Loving the new warp look Baz. If I remember correctly, there was a TNG episode where you saw the Enterprise go into warp but from inside the ship, looking through a window. Is this the effect that you are going for?
