Well, I created the Ambassador on my own (with Simon). Doug just asked if he could use it.
It weighs in around 650000 polygons. About 60 lights, window boxes behind every window, all markings are modelled, detailed primary and secondary shuttle bays, ribbed phaser strips, etc.

Not too bad...but we've decided to do another one [Smile]

Could you share some pictures of your Ambassador, Matt? Or any other ships, for that matter.

I'll be home tonight, so I'll put up an image or two of the Ambassador and a couple of other things.

If you have any official Steamrunner images, I'd kill for those!

I have no idea why the heck you'd want to see any images of that thing. I don't have any, but sheesh, the textures were culled from the sovereign model.

Really? Well, it's still a beautiful design.

Awesome stuff, Matt. I think this is the first time I've seen someone separate the Amby saucer witht he requisite details. [Smile]

Awesome new desktop backgrounds for my collection! [Cool]

And though I never thought about it, it makes perfect sense for the Ambassador to have saucer-sep capability... except that the saucer doesn't have any impulse engines! [Wink]

I hope it's okay, I took the liberty of using one of those awesome high-res images and created a shiny background scene for it. (I just love the Flaming Pear Photoshop plugins... I may not know much about Photoshop [Elements], but their three space-theme plugins�LunarCell, SolarCell, and Glitterato�are friggin' awesome!)

I'm not sure I got quite the right angle for the lens flare, though... should it be a bit further to the right? I used the shadows on the engineering hull as my reference, but I don't have a whole lot of experience with this kind of artwork.

This is just a lower-res reproduction to show off, but if Matt's okay with it, I can post the full 1900x1200 version for large-screen monitors!
