Ok, yes, these are late in coming, I apologise. However, here's some pics I wiped up of the USS Defiant as she was used in the episode. Sorry for the lateness, but it's amazing how life creeps in and then it's weeks later!
Thanks Rob! I noticed everyone gave you a break for a while and didn't hound you for'm. At least publicly that is. Hehe. I'm sure you needed the break, that is if the perception is correct and you really got one. LOL!
Excellent pictures-even the "rust ring" on the saucer. If I might ask a question, Rob; are these models textured with Lightwave or do you use another app for that? I've been teaching myself Lightwave for a while now-nowhere near your level though.
I'm actually making a short CG animated film myself. Here's one of the shuttlecraft I'm in the process of creating; the Icarus.
There's a definite "sporty" look to it, in fact the sound FX for it include a racecar subtly mixed in! Actually a lot of influence came from another craft I really like; the Proteus. Icarus is very similar in that the pilot sits behind and above the crew. His controls are very much like a wheel and throttle quadrant of todays jets.
Nice shuttle Jeff. And yeah, it does look sorta Nostromo or rather "Leviathan" shaped from the "Book of Alien" pre- production art. Which is cool! :thumbsup: (oh and yes, we model and texture in LW. Use Photoshop for maps)
As for who Dave is and his model, I know nothing about. Koji wholly built the Defiant we used. Nacelles Lighting and certain textures tweeks by me. It was done at EdenFX with reference help from Doug Drexler from the Art Dept and by extension whomever gave him reference. That's it.

Rob, those are some excellent renders! They will come in most handy for many of us! While at WonderFest, I picked up a 1/1000 shuttlebay. Once I pick up a chase circuit from Cult, I plan on decking out a PL kit as the Defiant! Thanks again for the wonderful referneces!
Well oops and sorry. But Chuck was saying a "Dave" person had there Defiant already seen on the show so I got confused as this was not possible. I didn't make the connection that it was you they were talking about. Maybe I missread the post. DOH!
Defiant High Res Orthos...HIGH RES ORTHOS...HIGH RES ORTHOS...
