Klingon D7's and Planets

[Starscape]

After finding some tutorials on the 'net about creating planetsin photoshop I decided to combine my first few experiments with my most recently finished 3D model - a Klingon D7 ship from TOS. Here's the results:





Oh, and here's a D7 flying under Romulan colours:

Nice work

 

[Forbin]

Nifty!

Very nice, is that the flaming pear plug in? I was looking at the Galileo 7 preview over at Trekmovie last night thinking how the planet didn't much better than planets made in PS using that plug in.

Beautiful, especially the Romulan ship!

Thanks guys!!

No, I didn't use that plug-in. I did try it but I did particularly care for it... it all seemed a little too quick and easy.
Instead, I found a few tutorials on the 'net on how to make planet scenes, devianART has some good ones, and created them the old-fashioned way (i.e. building them up one layer at a time).

I love that design, but something's always bothered me. Where's the shuttle bay?

It's the rectangular door on the upper portion of the impulse deck.

AH! Thanks!

Oh by the way, the pictures are good. The D7 model looks great. The planets are sort of lacking a three dimensional quality, though. If you're doing them in photoshop, maybe spherize them some more?

Thanks for the feedback Icy_Penguigo. I use Paint Shop Pro 7 which doesn't have a spherize function, though it does have something, sort of, similar. I'll have to have a play around and see if I can improve things.
