A little bit closer now. After having to redraw the roof, because it wasn't round but an arrowhead shape, i'm now working on the LCARS screens. Unfortunaly there are a few dozen and i don't want to use other peoples textures. Also playing around with the lights (normal and red alert mode).

Chainsaw!

This will be the biggest job of your life.
Seven months of continuous work.

Do not make the things running.
This your work will be a great experience for you and for us.

688 Objects
81 lights

Left is a diffuse map with a self illumintion and a falloff map
Right is a diffuse map with a self illumintion
