From Stargate: Universe... I found this beautiful model in .obj format on SciFi-meshes.com, and just HAD to play a bit. This thing is massive - even as far as the mesh goes. The polygon count was listed only as "A Lot." It took several minutes to load in PP 2012; I think P8 would have squealed and hid under the bed.... I rendered her at 3360 X 2100 pixels with NO problems at all. I'm lovin' PP 2012 more every time I use it. I was playing with Apophysis this morning while sitting in the service lounge, getting new tires on my minivan. Several Apo renders reminded me of nebulas, so I grabbed one and dropped it behind the ship in Photoshop. The stars were painted on a seperate layer with a large brush spacing, and brush dynamics set to vary the size with pen pressure. I duplicated the original ship layer and resized it to add a couple more ships to my fleet. Here's some stats if you're into that sort of thing: Aurora Class Battleship Information Alteran Dimensions: Length 1300m (4,264ft.) With 400m (1,312ft.) Height 200m (656ft.)
