What sells this shot is the subtle motion blur and the green-blue fill lighting from starboard. Beautiful.
This may be my favorite render you've done so far, deg. So subtle and understated. It makes the Enterprise look magnificent.
Thanks dude. Yes, I quite like it for the same reasons myself. BTW, your avie cracks me up! Spock... Help me Spock... wait a sec... Bozo..., is that you? Well then... Bozo... Help me Bozo... deg
Thanks. Evil clowns! Let's also thank Mr. Jefferies. This is hardly a new observation on my part, but the NCC-1701 looks so good from so many different angles and lighting. It has majesty from almost any direction. Even the belly view we get in Tomorrow is Yesterday, an angle we almost never saw the Enterprise from, makes it look strong. As opposed to the NCC-1701D, which looks good from only one angle, a 3/4 bow shot from underneath. Again, let's applaud the design genius of Matt Jefferies.
The 1701 always had that certain elegance about it... excelent render Mr deg.. you managed to capture that tall ship feeling very well.
Awesome work! One request - please put the Franz Joseph phasers on top of the E, and add the aft torpedo launcher from the Defiant's appearance in Enterprise. They fill some very precarious gunnery blind spots in the Enterprise, and make it more realistic in my opinion. Keep it up! James
Perhaps instead of being one giant leg, the two long triangles are either a sliding open door for the real leg, or a multi-segmented leg, enabling it to become a flat foot on the planet surface to distribute the weight of the ship, including an aft leg concealed with the dorsal. James
Thanks very much guys. She finished at this point JJohnson. That's an interesting concept for the tris though. deg

Check out the intro bumper music when the Enterprise is shown orbiting the planet in the very opening scene of "By Any Other Name". Now set deg3D's image to motion and play that music with it!
Fantastic work. Are you planning on doing any other ship designs from TAS or any shuttles? Keep up the great work.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again... those are the BEST ramscoops I've ever seen on any Trek ship.
I totally agree. It seems you are really providing fantastic building blocks for a visual re-creation of TAS (Didn't you also mention a Klingon D7 project somewhere?) With those beautiful ship-meshes of yours the space scenes of "More Tribbles, more Troubles" could be perfected and with stock footage from "Trouble with Tribbles", half the work on that episode would be done already.
