New flyby coming tomorrow hopefully...this one showing off a lot more of the top. Always surprises me by what I learn when I render out these huge ships flying around!
Ha, I thought it was just me (and my lame PC) but now that you ask the same, yes it is stuttery ... ehm simple solution ... upload a lower resolution. Just a guess though, don't realy have experience with youtube as well
Thanks IRML, I think I might just do some stills next, although I tend to have a hard time thinking of sort of cool ways to go about it. Guess it means I need a little break this weekend
just a thought though that is a background shot from the spitzer telescope isn't it? the spitzer is infrared, i think your model is supposed to be rendered in visible light in this shot so perhaps consider a different background for this awesome model. still excellent colours, details and lighting.
as far as i can tell the difference in glow is minimal so both are fine but kronos 1 is somewhat out of focus in both pictures, it would look better if you were to shift the focus and make the klingon vessel clearer. "guess who's coming to dinner..."
The last image looks absolutely fantastic! I actually like it more with the Kronos One out of focus, it kinda looks more realistic that way, in my opinion.

Looks like a superb model. From a scene "accuracy" point of view, the refraction of the running lights (the "star" pattern they're generating) doesn't tie in with the visible DoF in that last shot.
My suggestion would be to re-examine which elements of the image are blurred. At the moment it looks like it's almost a radial pattern from the bridge of the Klingon ship. Using an aperture that would result in that style of refraction on the lights would normally mean that the vast majority of either of the ships would be in focus, with the other less so- depending on the photographers chosen focal point for the image.
Of course you might be going for the "miniatures" (or "tilt/shift") look- in which case disregard the above.

Well I'm using a zdeph pass to do the depth of field, if that's what you mean by "refraction". I thing what you may be seeing is the chromatic aberration node which I realize now is causing a weird effect, especially in the stars. That part definietely needs a tweak.

Edit: reuploaded with their recommended settings, dunno if it helped.
I like the darker tone of the images.
Add a bit Filmgrain and it will loke like in the original movie.
Yeah, got some crawlies in the specular pass I didn't quite catch. I plan on masking those out and reposting the vid at some point. Dang it!

absolutely wicked!!

Do you still have an earlier state of the model to give her two regular honor guard escorts?
I was thinking of making a regular version, wouldn't be too bad..
