Lady: Thy Name is Beauty

Roliba

Just something I was working on.

I hate to sound clich?, but I don't much care for those nacelle caps - too pink for my liking. And there seems to be a slight black fringe around the Enterprise, as if it was pasted onto the picture of the planet? If this is so, then a simple Photoshop black matte remover should do the trick. But overall, the image is nice.

Relly Good Work, It looks like TOS!

I agree with Andrew. It's a good pic of the fine lady, but the nacell caps are more of a grey/white color with colored blobs inside. (I've just watched half of seaon 1 on dvd).





Also, the original models used frosted glass (or was it plastic) domes (which have since been lost) and a spinning wheel with actuall Christmas lights on it to create the effect. The nacell caps were never supposed to be a solid red, though those were what replaced the original caps for a time before that was discovered and the Big E herself was reworked for the Smithsonian.

The truth is that when it comes to the 'bussard collectors' it's pretty hard to get a nice looking effect, since they looked different on almost every single shot in TOS. And the same for the color. I've tried a wide variety of setups myself for my Enterprise and none of them have convinced me at 100%.





In this case, Roliba has created an interesting 'bussard collector' effect which doesn't look that bad.
