Decent renders of my 1701

I think it looks great.

I'm not sure about the yellow landing leg hatches on the saucer... they seem way too big. Unless you did that on purpose, of course.

Yeah, the yellow triangles look like someone tried to do a ghetto paint job and add horns.

It's my version of the Enterprise, and they are there because i didn't want the bland dark grey leg hatches. In hindsight they are a little over the top. You fellas have any suggestions?

They're obviously a deviation from the original design, but there's nothing wrong in adding your own twist.
Perhaps if they were a little smaller they wouldn't seem so distracting? The colour scheme for the triangles is fine and certainly has precedent elsewhere on the ship

I agree, make them about half that size, and I think they would fit better.

Here you go, I've fixed the leg hatches!

 

[DanGovier]

That's much better, the larger triangles drew the eye away from the silhouette of the ship too much.

 

[martok2112]

Pretty cool.
Now, forgive my ignorance. What program did you use?

 

[Soran77]

Sketchup with Maxwell fire plugin for rendering

 

[publiusr]

Bright and optimistic.

 

[MadMan1701A]

Cool, those fit much better!

[martok2112]

Very cool, Soran.
I tried working with Sketchup, but couldn't quite get the hang of it.
Well done!

It's all about the extensions (Plugins) My sketchup is the free version, but my UI looks nothing like the standard you get with just the program!

Not bad at all! The little alterations are fairly decent too.
