This is a current 2012 update! I felt this piece needed an overhaul, since I've learned quite a bit in the last year or two.

Check below for the original to compare:



The Defiant had been pounded by the Borg Cube. "Report!" bellowed Worf. "Main power is offline, we've lost shields and our weapons are gone..." reported the ensign manning the helm. Unwilling to give up, because perhaps today was a good day to die, Worf ordered, "Prepare for ramming speed!", but before the ensign could input the commands he reported the new reading the sensors were indicating. "Sir, there is another starship coming in. It's the Enterprise!"

Based on a scene from the movie "Star Trek: First Contact".

    

ORIGINAL COMPOSITION: Scene and lighting setup in LW, final composition in PS. Final modifications such as glows, blurs, phasers and photon torpedos, shields etc. done in PS. Added slight blue-ish tinge and grain for TV effect.

UPDATES AUG 2012: Enterprise resize, wide screen, worked over Nebula and Anarchist classes (more clear), changes photons, added Excelsior refit & phaser blast, added additional explosion, added different image blendings, added Earth, added new starfield. Total ~ 3 hours work (on top of the original 7) with another 160 layers or so on top!

MESHES: </b> Borg Cube by Magma. Sovereign class by Ralph Schoberth, Defiant class by Skye Dodds & M. Christou, Nebula class by Luca Silingardi, Akira class by Ian Bremner, Anarchist class by Casey Sullivan & Exceslior refit + Earth (modified by me) by Fabio Passaro.

ORIGINAL SIZE: ~3000x1500 in, 265 layers.
