:jaw: Wow awesome! I especially like the reflective hull feature you added there, but the picture is a bit dark.  Great work!

Yup, for both of them, not fun to render that for long but the result is good.

You dont need to use radiosity there. Theres not enough light in the scene to worry about it. You can get the same result by playing around with the light settings. Cuts down on rendering time...

Ditto...although I already did email him like 2 weeks ago...I think he's away.

Anybody know where Cobalt is?

Very nice renders! The way you make their skins reflect .etc. is exactly like those in the series.  Example would be the WhiteStar render.

Unfortunately not. I'm wagering on tough RL circumstances, though...

I know the feeling, as you noticed in the last few PM messages i sended you. Wasn't fun to post

Yeah, I understand. :(

But in the meantime, you can get all your renders together in the one place, in preparation for them to be organised into a gallery. :)
