IMAGE DESCRIPTION: I am a big Star Trek fan so this is a ship in the Star Trek universe.  It’s  my idea a what a small scout ship or gunboat might look like.  It also might make a good private yacht.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: This is my first complete raytraced image so it was mostly trial and error (lots of error!).  There is nothing complex or fancy about it, it’s just basic shapes and colors.  The  texture on the saucer and nacelle are gif images and the stars are also a gif image.  I’m not really finished with it.  The planet.....star?  is just a red sphere and if you look at the underside of the ship you will see that the saucer and nacelle aren’t actually attached to each other, but from this angle you cant see that.
