so consider this V1 or just something to enjoy till I d something else. one I started a few days ago and fought for a while then took a break, now Im being rushed a bit to get something out so it isnt fully looked over. I will probably refine or just do a different thing altogether. Fought the HDRIs on this then just resorted to a few gizmos instead. Lots of bounced light in a attempt to match the planet I shoulda just flushed the planet, oh well.



clearly a unfinished model lacking some lights on some things like the ship name etc. But wanted to render something with it.

one thing I have found is I need to target a output, be it a high color lcd or various high nit output screens. The Klingons (the final post) for example look really good on my high nit gaming panels and TV, but are not as impressive on older screens say 200nit even though they are set to 10bit color, shrug?

Final iteration of this scene I think so off it goes to final work.

Just had an itch and figured I would spend a few days with whatever models I had available in vray. (sadly so much is locked up in mental ray land and conversions give me ulcers.


I really do need to finish this Klingon model and rejig at least the way the impulse engines work.
older iterations:

Mmm going the cheap route. . . . . lol Though could be cause Doug is busy with other things too.

A second go at this still meh about it. Kinda annoying how it'll look ok in viewport but when you start compositing you see the flaws.



Slight change to the image can be found here

Dumping this here as I am not sure about the comp so it might just still be a WIP.



consider it my 2025 sotl entry as I never got the call this year. I only worked this 2x rez from output so it has that rough feel vs anything output at a higher rez.

Think this works better even if it adds a set of lights.



ok the unevenness triggered so update to the update. Also yanked the lights on the transporter emitters area cause it was just too busy.
