Description
I know, I know, I'm all over the place! My recent images have included a landscape, a pin-up, a portrait, an animal picture, and now sci-fi ships - what's going on! Just my endless experimenting I guess.
These are the first images that I have posted using Vue 7 Pioneer - the free beta - I seem to be getting more crashes with this than previous versions of Vue! Still it is free...
I am indebted to Chipp Walters - a real Vue hero - for his technique in modelling this kind of ship right in Vue. The ship was modelled from scratch entirely in Vue, textured and the scene set up in about 30-40 minutes start to finish, plus a similar time to render each image. You can find his tutorials to do this here:

The light beams were added in postwork. I hope you like - and forgive my eclectic approach recently. Thanks for looking and for all the recent comments, I really appreciate the feedback! Phil

Pretty near perfect render, I'd say!
