Description
A test image trying out anaglyphic rendering in lightwave. I remember doing lots of this back when I was still using lightwave 5 but I've since, in the intervening years and version numbers got out of practice. You'll be needing basic 3d glasses to see any difference, you can get them free here [link]Anyway I really need to get back into this process as it strikes me as being extremely useful for player handouts for the RPGs I'm involved with.

Lightwave conversion by myself
Thanks for looking.

Β Looks really nice in chrome. Sure it looks like a toy or model, and there it is unlikely that Starfleet would actually use such a flashy color scheme on a large-scale capital grade vessel, but she sure looks great.
Β Sorry to the OP, who will be unable to reply, due to being...permanently indisposed (what else was I supposed to say? Dead?), though I still hold out a faint hope that he can still see from the afterlife, that his works are still appreciated, and commented on.
Β Apparently, according to the primary comments section, this was way before my time, before I joined DeviantArt by over 3 years, so I'll never get to know the OP like so many other longtime members have. Which, telling by the comments I've glanced over, was my loss.

She's believable as a "missing link" between the original and the refit Constitution class starships. I especially like the chrome surface- something you can probably justify as radiation shielding.

Excellent... I love the "metallic" look. Very realistic.

That's the way the Enterprise should had really looked in the 2009 reboot
of Star Trek,Paramount Pictures should have use this recent version of her
instead of that unsightly disasterpiece that Ryan Church came up with.
They should had used your concept for her,this lovely lady is the perfect
balance with the Classic Movie ver with Matt Jefferie's design.

Hey Karanua, that's really good work mate. I think that's honestly one of the best blends of TOS and TMP Enterprises that I've ever seen. One small personal niggle though...if you're gonna have the deflector dish remain that gold/bronze colour, it needs the little prong antenna thingey that stuck out of the TOS version. Otherwise, I think it would look better shaded in blue. Apart from that, you've got yourself a nice slice of awesomeness here.

Ohhhhhhh. Shiny. Certainly an interesting look for the hull texture. Can't decide if I like it or not...but it is certainly eye-catching.

I like it! the only comment/critique i would have is to turn down the spec/reflection on the metal, wouldnt be that much light play on the surface in space i would think, plus i ahve been watching too much star trek lately

Don't think I've ever seen a ship looking quite so...metallic. Is that part of the effect or a texturing choice?

Texturing choice. Its a ship from one of the game groups hereabouts that they wanted shown all sparkly and new like TMP enterprise.

Aha...well, I suppose if it's by request. The TMP Enterprise was never quite that shiny though, as I'm sure you know. But hey, who am I to second guess it. Still looks cool.

"sparkly?" Is that a technical term?
Shiny it definitely is.
