What is this lens sim you use? Is it a build in feature or an addon? Cause the result looks amazing!!!

Fairly new add on, designed to physically simulate actual lenses. It's on BlenderMarket. I swear by it, it's amazing!

That sounds awesome! How much is it?

looking really good!👍

I think what would look good is to mimic how they lit her up. Always a row of lights above her. And they often lit the saucer lip so it cast a shadow on the saucer edge but not the thicker hump

You're welcome!

When CBS redid the ship, they didn't pay attention to the old lighting rig. So she looked a bit dull and depressing.

Also they were obsessed with avoiding light hitting it. But in space its BRIGHT! That never made sense. Only time its dark, is in the shadow of earth.
