Chip, Great model! I can't wait to see the final one either. I do have a couple of points, though, not to rain on your parade, but because sometimes it's hard to get a fresh perspective. 1) The texture on the ship looks like it was run through MPEG-4 compression a few times. I think a much higher quality, perhaps even procedural texture would be just the thing. 2) That font doesn't really fit with the scene. It's so Arial. :) Maybe a more futuristic, dirtier looking font would be the way to go. Overall, though, I'm excited. How long is the render time gonna be? Hoborg
