And how did MattC gain access to the mode? And is the ship really called the Emmette? Does even have markings? I mean why write a name on the ship if it isn't even going to be visible. I liked to know the source of this info.
First of all, yes, Lightwave is a modeling program. Second, from looking through his post history, it appears that Matt is a CGI modeler who has worked on the Trek calendar projects. Apparently, he knows Mojo. Those guys have access to this stuff for reference.
As for whether the information about the alleged Emmette is true, we'll have to wait for him to come back and tell us in order to find out. I am hoping for pictures, too.

Yes, Essentially MNW best expressed the most-common sentiments around here regarding such matters, which some of us had already skirted around - who, why, where, when, what, how, that sort of thing. I don't think we're quite all affected by the Drought Of Trek to the extent that we're going to obsess about a ship seen for two seconds in the credits of the Show That Killed Trek.

It's a public forum, we can't guarantee that some lurker won't see it and post it in such a place, or someone here will send an acquaintance the link, and said acquaintance will then post it elsewhere.

MattC: I�m the webmaster of that domain, and I have always asked permission to post images and always credited the creators of the images with links to webpages or names. So I resent that accusation actually. But if someone emailed me pics which belonged to you without telling me, please name those pics, and I�ll credit you instead. I work hard to maintain my page, and get contributions from all over.
And btw, why single me out? Am I really the only one on the entire internet which have posted pics which belong to you?

Hmm, I got those in my hotmail-adress from a fellow who called himself Matthew, that�s not you?
Ok, there�s no need to use the board for this, you and I can pm eachother, but if I credit you for these pics, can I keep them? And if I can, how? If not, I�ll take them down.

Yup, I remember you emailing me for permission a couple of years back for some pics from my site. Most webmasters wouldn't have bothered.

Tells us the outcome of the battle over these pics.
Just ABOUT those pics anyway - never seen them before - was this model used on film - i.e. was this used in Generations or was that just all model work?
The Nacelles of the Excelsior class are interesting - never really seen an image of the Excelsior from above and from the back like that before. That pod that the nacelle pylons go into... do you think that whole assembly can lift out of the main body?
That third pic - the Ambassador says it's by a Matthew - is that you? The E-B and E-D is by someone else. It'd be nice to see the E-B lit like the other two ships are in that diagram. The Ambassador looks like the Ambassador done by those people over at that Scifi 3d art page that now can be seen in Ambassador Class investigation on Bernd's page. I think it was Tachy and Pedro who made it (Is the name "Tachy" allowed to be said around these parts yet or is it still atouchy issue?)
