Star Fleet DryDock Type VI(Maya Class)

=============================================

     To all of those conversant in the Star Trek universe, you will re-
cognize this model from"STAR TREK:The Motion Picture" and "STAR TREK II:
The Wrath of Khan". It is the same type of drydock used for the refit of
the U.S.S. Enterprise. It is a welcome addition to anyone who has a col-
lection of ST objects,Lord knows if you've done any animations at all,you're
gonna need a place to fix them up. Of course, if you don't have any objects
for space I suppose you can use it as a decorative rose trellis.
     Now for the nitty gritty..... I assume you've seen the immense size of
this particular piece of equipment and said to yourself, GOD IS THIS GUY
NUTS OR WHAT? In answer to that, PROBABLY. This is not an object for the
faint of heart or low RAM. Uncompressed it originally was almost 2 Megs in
size. Which translates out to  a requirment of about 16Megs or better to
render.It was created in Imagine 3.0 with no "funny textures" or what not.
But for this file I converted it over to LightWave 3.5 using Interchange
Plus,as a scene file.This process allows you to remove whatever parts you
wish to make it small enough to render on your machine.To render it
completely it will take 8 Megs of RAM. To prove this I have included a 24bit
Jpeg file rendered in LightWave with no compositing used.
     I am a professional 3-D Modeler and Animator by trade and created this
little dodad as a tribute to Carmen Rizzolo. I have another object here on
this BBS which you can look at, it is a B-24J Liberator also in the
Lightwave format. There will be other aircraft coming soon as time and
patience allow. As always use this, or any of my other objects at your
descretion.All I ask is that you keep this file with the object. If you have
any comments or requests I would greatly appreciate it. You can reach me
