The only thing it's bad at is consitency -> in the nebula's appearance (once you're using still images from the motion picture, in other scenes it's a more gasious anomaly, one that we're accustomed to with DS9/VOY/ENT). Other than this one tiny nitpick - a perfect recreation, hats off to you, Sir!

@topasyout This is very old... I've made a far better shot more recently.

@CJCA915 We must see it! This is great CJ! You say you have a better quality? I can;t imagine when will we see it? This is amazing you got some amazing talent. How did I not see this before! Damm it i'm going through your video history! lol

And you made this in 2009!

@smileygabe22 I already have it uploaded, well, a few clips, I didn't finish it...

Very nice Chris. Looks awesome. 1 slight point, less bump on the moon closeup. For larger details try a sisplacement map and lower bump settings.

@CJCA915 I see, so you're against slang usage here. Thank you for clarification.

[CJCA915]

@Bobopoa Retard means to hinder or to hold something back... hence mental retardation... ones mental faculties are hindered or held back... Airbus aircraft's GPWS often use "retard" upon landing, telling the pilots to retard the engine power... or to hinder the engine power... if it's used in any other way, that's when I have a problem... calling someone or something retarded to say that they're or something is dumb or stupid, is exactly like calling something "gay" for the same reason...

[Bobopoa]

@CJCA915 Curious here. Is it the form of the word "retard" that you find misplaced? Perhaps your preference is not to use "retard music" as it simply denotes a type of music directed at retards, as opposed to, say, "retarded music" which is a sound anthropomorphisation? Or did you have a more fitting expression in mind?

This is really nicely done. What would've nailed it though, is if you'd worked past the technical stuff that makes it feel computery. 2d Motion blur in the Maya render settings will help a lot. The starfield, moon texture and nebula pattern drags this down a lot for me. I would also suggest a DVD ripping program that will give you proper audio. James Horner is The Ultimate, but without the sound effects this feels a bit hollow. The ships look great though, and I love the torpedo effect.

@gobias6 Have you ever seen The Wrath of Khan?

However, this video is 1 year old if not slightly older, before I'd found a better way to make more realistic torpedoes.
