[Majestic]

Looking great, though the last two are the same pic. What program may I ask you using?

 

[-RJB-]

Great looking ships and renders.

 

[Creed]

they rock!

 

[Lord_Trekie]

The renders were done in Lightwave 9, And the last two aren't the same. The preview render gave me the impression that the saucer of the Excelsior wasn't appearing so I moved it a little and did the second one. One of these days though I'll actually learn how to model in Lightwave instead of just doing renders.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

Those look really cool. Keep up the great work.

 

[Aerilon]

They look good Matt, though a suggestion of mine, would be to add a Starfield background to them, and maybe work on the positioning of ships with the scaling? - I know it is hard to work with sometimes, but on your renders, some ships look out of scale.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Yeah, the scaling was the one thing I knew I was going to have problems with, but at the time I was too tired to go look up length's etc, especially for ships that are nothing but fanon. Since they're .PNG though I can go stick any (almost any) ol' space background on there and call it good... Probably do that in a few days...

[-RJB-]

Thats one very well done scene.

Keep up the good work.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Thank you, I'll try. There was supposed to be a third, smaller, drydock housing an Excelsior but there was a huge problem with the lighting, one I didn't feel like dealing with at 4 AM so I just left it with these two.

I may try again sometime soon with more docks since I may be getting 'command' of a Fleet Yard within one of the RPG groups I'm in.

 

[-RJB-]

I get that problem myself from time to time and in the end I make a separate lighting rig for just the one model to make it look right. But thats the effort you have to put in to get the look you want sometime.

 

[Creed]

very nice work!

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Creed will vaguely recognise this, but it's a render I did for our front page, cropped slightly so as not to show off the useless stuff at the bottom.

Legacy by GKD, The rest of the models were from Lightwave Group 3's authors. Background, I dunno, but if someone does (I got this in a wallpaper pack) please tell me.

 

[-RJB-]

Looks good to me.

Well, I wonder what happened to this?

Spoiler: A gift to LT here.

Note I also did some light enhancements.

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Thanks Syf Did you do the stars yourself (hopefully in Photoshop)?

 

[Syf]

Yes. I do all my star material my self. I use Paintshop... An older version, but it works.

 

[Creed]

I'm reliably informed that he has also started work on the Hera class.

Please guys support his lrodship P ) on this because it's already looking cool
(and all I have seen is a nacelle)

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Well since the cat's outta the bag...

Spoiler: Hera Class Nacelles

 

[Syf]

I like those... I can't wait to see the rest of the ship!

 

[Lord_Trekie]

This isn't the rest of the Hera Class, but this is a reworking of the Antares Fleet yards piece I did a while back...

Spoiler: Antares Yards 2.0

Very nice indeed LT! ^^

 

[Lord_Trekie]

If you need a diff size lemme know...

 

[Jeddy]

nah it works fine on my new 32" widescreen monitor one of few that do!

(Ok, its actually a TV im using as a monitor, Res 1366 x 768)

 

[Lord_Trekie]

lol, cool, I've got a 61" plasma that I could use as a monitor, but I'd need a new video card and an HDMI adapter for it... Which since this PC is so old means building a new one...

 

[Majestic]

Plasma's are known to burn the image into their screen so it's best to not have PC's or console games or even those morning shows with those little clocks in the bottom corner on the screen. For that LCD's are better and while more expensive they also give a better image.

But a 61" screen, thats what I call heaven.

But yeah thats off-topic a bit, so when do we get to see the Hera, I am curious to see what sort of ship it is but guessing I'd say it's a Nova class replacement or something?

 

[Lord_Trekie]

Aye, that's the game plan for the Hera, I may work on her a bit here this morning before I go to sleep, it's a little after 3 am here...

 

[La Patience]

Wow i think there all great, id love to be able to do any sort of rendering/moddeling but dont even know were to start. i can't wait for the Hera and what you have done so far is great.

ill be watching.....

great stuff hee
