Hi all

Some of you know or not maybe.

I have been working on a Tutorial for the original USS Enterprise design in lightwave and I have more or less finished all the modelling aspect of it.

Its one of the best models I have built since I started to do cgi modelling 6 years ago.

There are no textures everything is modelled,.

Excellent work! The original and still my favorite of all Enterprise ships.

Do you plan to texture it?

Thanks all.
I do plan on texturing it. I am very rusty in this area so I will have to practice in the new year to get used it again.

I don´t have photoshop any more so I am looking at some art free programs to fill that gap..
Paint.net, Gimp, and see if I can get some good results.

I never liked what they did in the Smithsonian with the weathering job they did, it over the top for me.

That is really awesome work there T! Beautiful. :salute:
She is one of my favorite designs along with the "Big G" :D.
I do have a fondness for the ST-TMP Enterprise, a VERY close second design-wise to TOS Enterprise (IMHO of course) ;). Both are very elegant and graceful ship designs.

Thanks for the comments mates....

Its the design I dreamed about the most find it one of the most elegant as CBSG4ever points out.

for the textures I only want very subtle ones so I have to work on that.

But I am working on a update and will post later I hope.

Happy New Year 2012 to you all.
