Did a little texturing on the Navigational Deflector / Main Sensor Dish (big dish in front of the Engineering hull) tonight.  Last night I came up with my own version of a "glass" shader.  It is being used on the bridge dome (upper planetary array), the lower saucer dome (lower planetary array), and the "lit" dome above the shuttle bay.  Some may not be aware that the first pilot for Star Trek (The Cage) had no internal lighting at all for the models!

Some people who are paying attention have pointed out some things that I had on this model that technically didn't appear until later.  I think I got most of them, but there may be more.  If you spot something "wrong", please point it out to me.

I hope to accomplish a little more day-by-day.

Let me know what you think.

She just getting better and better with each update!

Thank you, Dean!  That's kind of you.

Dude, that deflector material is sick. I love the domes too.

LOL!  I'm hoping that a sick material is good?

Thank you, Chris!  The warp domes were fairly quick.  But the deflector, I spent some serious time on that yesterday.  I wound up using my own texture and a principled shader to get CLOSE to what I wanted.  I figure, this will do for now.

Working on texturing a little.  Neck and upper saucer.

I am freaking loving this!!

Looking great, bro.

Ah, good!  LOL!  I wanted to make sure I was doing things okay!  Thank you, Chris!

A little fun and some different settings.

I like that.

Love it!

This is 15 years ago.  The Enterprise ... and her commander, Captain Christopher Pike.

Just having a little fun.

crazy man.

I love the shader tools now. They match to the ones I use in Godot almost 1:1, blender to live 3D.
