[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] No, from what I gather, the fact files only worked from primary sources, sometimes to a fault. [/qb][/QUOTE]Nope- the Fact Files version has some sort of Defiant collage [URL=http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/scans/factfiles/norway-5views.jpg]thing [/URL] for the ventral side (which was never actually created for the movie due to the CGI model's low-res nature). It was never intended for scrutiny and so never bothered with- the downside to CGI models. we'd be far better served by getting ahold of whatever sketches were made to work from. Or just use [URL=http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2210/657989/1937516/64900300.jpg]this![/URL] Or [URL=http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2210/657989/1937516/64900355.jpg]this![/URL] Seriously, that Fact Files thing bugs me no end- stretching parts of the Defiant's [i]top[/i] view and pasting them on is a lazy ass thing to do. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well ILM also did a low res (read mostly photo maped) Defiant model, yes? So it's possible someone just slapped the Defiant model's image map on the Norway's otherwise flat and featureless underside? Actually I'm almost certain that's what happened because the underside of the Sabre's saucer has what looks like the Galaxy's bridge substructure and ILM just so happened to have a photo mapped model of the Nebula they made for Generations (for the warp effect at the end.) That sounds more likely to me than the Fact Files just making it up. Not that I hold them in high regard or anything, I just don't credit them with that degree of imagination. Case in point, look where they've put the red/green beacons on the saucer. I'll bet you a fiver that's an artefact of the mesh lights being set away from the polys. [/QB][/QUOTE]
