Here are some renders of the constitution and various other ships...
I am going to try make her look more "coffee" stained....kind of like the studio model...i'll post renders as soon as I do so, let me know what you guys think!

Wonderful

fantastic

Some of those look like they might have just been taken out of one of the StarTrek movies Firball!

Very cool. If i "had" to critisize a bit it would be that the glows are overpowering as on bussard section you cant see the mesh of bussard just the glows.

The nacelle glow is a bit too much too, but everything else, wonderful

I dunno... The glow in some episodes gets pretty intense sometimes.

I think the issue is distance, the glow is OK looking here when the ship is close to the camera.


But here, very far, they look a bit weird.

lol yup indeed, this is using the built in stuff from 3ds max, it's kinda poor post production on my part. It is pretty dependant on distance, you gotta edit it for every scene if you want to make it look just right.
