I remade my deflector dish using Gary Kerr's illustration. The same illustration is being used to create a newer, more accurate dish for the Enterprise Restoration. That one is being built out of acrylic.
You seem to do just fine. I built my model in TrueSpace and in an early version of Blender. When I pulled the model into the latest version of Blender, I clicked on each piece of the model, recalculated the object and then I mapped the textures. Does that make any sense?
Did you download both zip files? The reason you are seeing Pink textures is (probably) because scifieric's using image textures, and if Blender cannot find the graphics for the Image Texture node(s), the resulting material is coloured pink. Hope my guess is correct.
Hi Eric,
Would it be possible to export your Enterprise to an FBX format? I really don't know Blender so am kind of lost when it comes to locating the textures and their names in the blend file. I tried exporting to OBJ and looked in the MTL file and saw that the file names were somewhere in an Eric folder on your C (I think) drive. Cinema 4D doesn't play well with OBJ files and my attempt to export to FBX didn't work very well due to the folder structure and not being able to find the texture files.
Thanks in advance...

I found out how to load the textures in Blender and they are now appearing when I do a render. However, when I export the file to either FBX or OBJ, the textures and materials are not appearing properly in C4D. I would have loved to work with your excellent model, but I think I may be out of luck.

I'm working on a blu-ray resolution version of the Season Two version of the titles.
Sorry for the late bump.
Thanks for looking in!
That sounds really cool.

As a very passionate Star Trek fan, and a very big noobish Blender learner, your work is really incredible!
I salute you, sir!

Okay, here we go:
The textures.

The Blend file:

Of course, I ask that you credit me if you can actually use it!
thank you for the beautiful mesh. Unfortunately, the textures are not correct. Blender only renders in
pink.
my english ist not good.
What do you mean by that ?
I have selected all objects but that does not help.
