How i imagine an old federation star-ship to look.

Battered, dirty and war scared, with lots of panels.

good ship :cool:

CivX: No hijacking. Not nice. Bad dog.:mad:

The Animal:

I really love the style you got there. The shape is very pleasant to watch at.

You probably should have larger scale dirt and wear textures too, it’ll make the texture pattern look to be less repeating.

bigbad is just test is not Finnish
no bad dog i am not bad dog if you can
just tell is good not bad dog !!!

Cool, nice render,
I dont know about you but, add something to give the size of that ship, the windows on the ship do but any thing thats not with the ship,
I like the way you light.
no Post-pro?

@ Civx Dude, we work hard you know, I pass this one for you this time! :RocknRoll:

question: how did you achieve the effect of the glowing engine? how did you get it to actually emit light?

Lights can shine through transparent objects. I just used the nodes to make the engines look non-transparent again and i used the nodes to make it glow. As far as the lighting is concerned, the blue and red bits don’t cast shadows.

I like it a lot!

Could you please go into more detail or reccomend a good n00b friendly tutorial on achieveing lights like that?

the space looks like an asphalt.
