[QUOTE]Originally posted by MattC: [QB] [QUOTE]Considering that the ship was one element in a whole scene full of special effects, and given the lower processing power of computers at the time, and given the low resolution of standard television, it seems a reasonable decision to use a low poly model. There's not much of a point in putting a lot of detail into a model that simply can't be seen. In a similar situation, I seem to remember reading that the NCC-1701 digital model used for TOS Remastered has been revised to include less detail since they were using up valuable computer power and time to render details that even high definition televisions wouldn't catch. [/QB][/QUOTE]Absolutely true. :) As a comparison, the Excelsior used in the ST:NV episode with George Takei in it was about 800K polys. So there's an example of a fan production having more detail than the tv/film stuff. M. [/QB][/QUOTE]
