Sorry, what was your question again?

Like I said before, these aren't my models, the entire point of the images is the special effects. If I were to simply render the models, all it would entail would be plonking one down in a scene and pressing the render button. That could only give the impression that I made the models, when I didn't. I'm not too keen on plagiarism, or whatever the hell it's called with respect to artwork.
If you really object to my choice of subjects, then I suppose I could have starfleet ships blowing each other up, but that would just be weird.
EDIT: Didn't spot this first time around.

The bright parts in the ISD trench are a bit over saturated, as well. Also, the Enterprise could use some motion blur to imply motion.
Thanks for the
constructive criticism. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble with my phaser effects, and the only way I've found to make them work is to have the launcher stationary, hence no motion blur (Lightwave only renders motion blur while objects are moving; I don't know how to fake it for ones that aren't). About the lighting, I'm not quite sure what you mean, it looks OK to me. Are you sure it isn't an issue with your monitor; does anyone else see what he's talking about?
