Greetings, Trek fans! Here's a animation update - I've added explosions, plasma torpedoes, different music, and better shield impacts! The shields wont *not* cast shadows for some reason, so I have to fix that.
All the explosions and plasma weapon effects were made in Embergen - And I'm going to replace the mesh-animated shield impacts with more embergen simulations!
Really happy with it.

The original concept for this model is by AtolmAzel - here's his sketch!

The original Shangri-la class design is by Bill Krause!

As always this is rendered in 3DSMax 2022.3, using VRay 6 GPU Optix. I'm using a 4090 RTX. Render time averages were 1m30s and 2m30s respectively, with about .25s-.5s for post effects application per frame. It's 320 frames long at 24fps.
Post in After Effects, using Sapphire by BorisFX for the lens flares, and Red Giant Looks for the color correction.
