very good, especially the shield work...but the cube could use a bit of work; it looks a bit too much like a cube with a texture plopped on it, maybe you could accentuate parts of it somehow.

Good start, but the weopns are a bit wrong,

The fed phasor are always a orange/red color (thay were only blue is tos, in the rubish Enterprise there orange/red - continuity anyone!?!)

The borg's are green and always fire from the edge about 3 quarters of the way up (who knows why), thay only fire the torpedo like things from the flat surface.

If you need a half way desent pic then try to get the "making of first contact" book, thats got one about as good as you will ever find.

the scale is a bit off as well a borg cube is about 3km and the intrebid is only 342m

Not bad......can't see much detail on the Voyager, but the borg cube is a bit simple. It needs 'holes' in it, with multiple layers of 'stuff' inside. Some of the original physical models used 'sprues' from plastic kits, which looked like scaffolding and structured pipework and such. Nice image though.

Thumbs up maybe you should try ...

SLEMOINE,
naybe you should try using the greeble plugin to creat more detail on the cube so it does not just looklike a cube with a texture on it.

maybe have some lights showing through in some of recessed areas to give it more depth . and add some more ships to the battle. maybe a ship destroyed here and there and some debrie floating around in space. and a partially wrecked ship here and there.

all in all I think it looks great .



B.W.

Thanks for the crits. The torpedoes were being fired from the starship...maybe I got the angle wrong in the effects/ star diag jimwalters. oops. thanks for the detail of the borg technology; I'll get the book. The shields on the starship might be a little dense. The detail is there it just can't be seen through the shields. I'll lessen the opacity on the map. thanks again.
