It's the easiest way to get it into the matter replication system, ready for your next pastrami on rye.Whoa... So THAT's why we never see toilets on Star Trek! *mind blown*
Did you do the modeling and rendering?
Yeah.
If anyone's interested in the Lightwave mesh I've been posting images of, it's available now for download here:
Scifi Meshes
It's in LW 2019 format, with textures and a sample scene file.
Thanks
ETA: Okay, so I forgot you have to sign up over there. I haven't been particularly active in the community for about a decade, so I've lost track of such things - there seem to be fewer places to post meshes for free public download. I think the file's considerably too big to post here, or send through my email provider. So it may take awhile to work this out.

Nice work! I may download it and do some easy changes to make it more TOSlike.
Beautiful work all the way round!
Sick!
Totally impressive
Cleaner than the official mesh.
(I'll never understand how artists can build ships with all these inset windows without Lightwave's drill and stencil functions.)
In the before-times, a lot of modeling tools had invisible "negative objects" that would serve to "subtract" stuff from the model they were attached to, giving that "cut out" effect. Don't know if they still have them and are just called something else now. My knowledge on 3D modeling is, admittedly, 25 years out-of-date as my career evolved to focus more on a coding, database and web-based path. I used to love using Specular Infini-D back in the day.
Bolleans, yes. And they're what stuff like Maya has. Lightwave also has them, but for insetting shapes that follow along a complex curve – like windows in a ship's hull – the stencil tool can't be beat.
I presume Maya, Vray and Nuke are used for SNW CG?
This is the only Boolean I know of.
Customer: Give me "Pike's Peak."
