Anyone have some good CGI images of the Akira-Class? Preferably, ones that aren't on the mainstreams like sci-fi-art.com..?

Do you mean non-official CGI pics... stuff done by fans?

scifi-art.com's akira is VERY detailed and VERY accurate to the actual ILM model. everything else i have seen online has been crap. why don't you want scifi-art's? [edited] well, the one above, which must have been posted a second before this post looks NICE! but as far as i know, 3dgladiators doesn't really have a site right now, just a forum.

What ILM model???? The Akira is a CGI ship! So were all the new Starfleet ships from ST:FC save the E-E.

And it was made by ILM, I believe. The term "model" does not only refer to plastic ones, y'know...

when i said model, i meant the CGI one. They still have to MODEL the ship, you know. and all the FC ships were made by ILM. by the way, while the E-E did have a physical model, much of the film was made with a CGI model.

What IS it with 'homegrown' CGI!?!
The contrast with that picture is WAYOFF... all I can see in that pic - is the sun and the glowing nacelles and a bit of the hull... it makes it look so fake. Especially when there is no glow on to the adjacent hull...
Hmmmmm... Its just BLACK!
hmmmm.
