That's a fair point. Managed to drive a coworker of mine a little batty trying to explain why I thought it was a mess when it looked as good as it does.
You didn't come off that way. I understand that feeling. I was like that for a few years, but I've been getting better. I'm sorry if I came off as preachy. I just don't want anyone going through this to think they are alone.
Maybe it's because I've never been as much of a Star Trek fan as I have been a Star Wars fan, but if you hadn't told me that was a render, I would have thought that was a still from the original series. Seriously, this is a really good model and your rendering skills are superb.
