Yes, I can see it now. Sorry for not looking more thoroughly(I didn't stare at the perspective view), as it is so obvious..!  I feel dumb.. Did you add something new since yesterday? Those dark parts...must be my memory playing jokes on me. All that to say that it's a wonderful job you did my friend!

Thanks vjeko, what ever happened to your programmer?

It has taken a while, but I'm getting somewhere with the plating on the front teardrop.

Looks like it will be ready for production soon. Filming starts later this month. Hope you can get online on Sunday. Gino and I are going to try that router trick.

Wooow! It's...it's... it's REAL!! Looks really authentic! Can't wait to see it painted.. Even when I was making expensive plastic models, they never looked so detailed.

Hey Ken, I just saw this. Maybe I can catch you and Gino.
Thanks to all for your gracious comments. I am such a fan of this ship design. It has really been fun trying to reproduce it. More to come as I finalize details and texture it. The bottom at the back of the hull needs work. Right now there is just a bulge there, but no detail. Hull plating is also needed on the inside of the engine pylons. There is more work on the back around the impulse engines. At some point I will be going front to back, altering and rearranging greebles to exactly match the movie models.
I hope you all are doing fine, and I hope someday Supremacy is finished. Which reminds me, anyone know how Mike is doing in New York? Mike, we hope you are dry and warm and fed (and have some electricity).

I guess we're like far away brothers. And when it comes to appreciate each other, we're all here. Furthermore, we've been working together didn't we? One last thing "bro' ", friend: When it comes to ART (note the uppercase), we're prompt to appreciate because we are dedicated to it. Weren't we the Masters of Art here? My sincere opinion...

Always been a huge fan, Vjeko! Incredible picture. I'll PM you a better angle of the D7 class (from below). Somewhere I had started a Klingon station months, or years ago. Have to dig that up, although it is small enough in your picture that any extra detail I add, probably wouldn't show anyway.
Here is a close up of the bridge area.

Thank-you. 163,787 polygons, and that is with being careful to make sure armor plates and surface greebles have no bottom polygon that you would never see. She's stripped down baby! And actually, the image will get better as I UV map and texture it. I am working on the mapping right now. The Bubble or Teardrop front is kicking my...

163,787 polygons is in a magnitude modern systems can handle with good LOD and not too many ships on screen in a few years maybe it's standard for the common pc, who knows looking forward to test it in realtime one day  so to say, you're years ahead dude!
