Cool ship venom2506, as for the background it needs a little more quality in detail.

Keep up the good work

Oh she's pretty, Venom.

For the record, I can get the Arcadia into Iwar2, but I'm having to reapply the textures by hand. 3dExporation didn't export the map data in a way that Lightwave would use.

Oh yes, and that's my new background.

You're using Lightwave 5.6? All later versions will support the kind that 3D-Exploration outputs...

ACtually, I'm using LW6.5. For some reason, 3dEx exported it from cob with no textures. Quite annoying. I'm going to try to have Truespace save it as a 3ds object and then have LW load that and see what happens.

You sure you got "Save texture maps as ..." clicked?

Good question. I'm not sure, really, as 3dEx expired on me and I'm not sure yet that I want to register it. Too many other things to spend money on. Like a Cougar HOTAS rig.

Wow! That is nice!! Love the design.

But I agree the background needs a little more work.

Actually, I think the backgraoud is near-perfect - it makes it seem like the render was actually a picture taken with a camera that had a short focal length, so that the subject of the picture is in focus, while the background is slightly fuzzy.  

I like.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I still think a sharper background would be better.

Of course, each got his/her own tastes.

It should. The Arcadia is Harlock's ship. Harlock and Starblazers are from the same creator. He's got a penchant for making spacecraft that look like old Earth naval warships.
