Gotta agree with Lord Tribble, that section of the underside looks rather off like that. I know it's kinda like that in Richter's model, but honestly speaking, he did get a number of things wrong with his model, that segmented and darkened part of the bottom of the saucer being one of them. I hate being nitpicky, especially since you're planning on taking a sabbatical from BC modding, but I really think that the original source materials should take precedence. I do realize that the movie itself doesn't have too many still shots of the big E, but there is a resource out there, and that's the starship "simulator" of the Blu-Ray's special features.

Again, I hate being nitpicky, I'm just trying to help.

She really does look great, especially that aft view.

I have some select screenshots from it I could pack into a zip if baz or anyone else would like them for reference.

I don't have the blue ray so any refs you have send my way. I have remodelled the shuttle bay area. Picks to follow once I have remapped the area.

Lord Tribble · « **Reply #4724 on:** March 30, 2013, 07:01:47 PM »

I've got a bunch of screenshots from the bluray features (that I think I got from these forums actually), other renders of the ilm model from various places and a couple from the upcoming game. I'll pm you a link

Prefer .zip or .rar? And what's a good place to upload so anyone who wants/needs can get them?

Good ref lord,

Shadow, can you email them to me?

Lord Tribble · « **Reply #4728 on:** March 31, 2013, 05:34:48 AM »

One thing to bare in mind with the blurays 'vessel simulator' feature caps is that the view screen window doesn't match the size of the one in the film (probably because they didn't want to render a 3d interior for the camera moves and slapped a still frame on it), so the other ilm renders (especially that polar lights model box art render) and actual film screen caps are better reference for that.

Wiley, I'll send you the link too

Done. Gotta ask though, why rebuild the shuttlebay? It seemed to be pretty accurate to me.

Well as you can see it was well off.

Shadowknight1 · « **Reply #4731 on:** March 31, 2013, 01:14:38 PM »

Ah well. Now that I see it from that angle, I see what you mean.

Sorted the dark ring under the saucer. And had a little fun.

...I might throw up on you ;)

I had a look into the bussard transparency, this tutorial mentions it I think; http://bc-central.net/forums/index.php/topic,7161.0.html

cordanilus fixed up coloured transparent bussards for DJs Eclipse, might be worth dropping him a message

I've fixed that picture for you.

I'm not going to lie, it doesn't look half bad like that...

She looks great! I can see a couple of nitpicky things, but I can overlook them easily.
