I've finished the nacelles. Speculars and alpha channels will be coming soon. :)

Nice work Wiley! Those nacelles really made it all come together.

I think I saw a post say it was built into the ship instead of sticking out like most starships.

At any rate, superb textures!

bridge is hidden... also what bumps?? you mean the white ovals?? those are the single seat escape pods.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

Have a cookie Wiley.  I think out of all the ships you've done thus far, this is my favorite.  I love this design aesthetic.

Nice work, the textures flow with the shape of the hull very nicely.

at least have some sort of border around that grid design... right now it looks to odd and doesn't conform around the edges.

I sort of have to aggree with that, would make them look better. More detail to match the rest of what you have done with the hull textures.

Love the engines, she's right on the money now.  :thumbsup:

Cookie from me too. Ship has turned out very nice.

Alpha channels and speculars are done. The speculars are not shown with these rendered pics, they will be more pronounced in-game. I am now exporting the mesh and hopefully I will have no problems. Not bad for a 3.6k poly ship. :dance

Looks like a design cue leading up to the ent-j.

Speaking of which wiley, have you considered taking another crack at that ship now that there's some actual ref images and even a fly-by clip?

Warp plasma manifold. A similar design can be seen on the Enterprise-J. Thanks for answering. I have thought about re-doing the Ent-J. There is enough reference.

Decoration. I think these were on Galen's Legacy-class.

You wouldn't happen to have that last image (Proteus3.jpg) in a widescreen desktop size? :P

1440x900. Would look awesome as my new wallpaper.
