Hello:
 It was so interesting how the Defiant represented a total change in Starfleet's ship policies. You did a great renders of that "Tough little ship" .

It sure did change their policies.  Sometimes you have to.  Good thing they did because of the Dominion War.

Hello:
 Even though it was originally part of the Anti-Borg programs they have, hehehe, but amazing how effective this ship was against the Dominion .

 Your renders made justice to the ship .

Hello:
 And you are welcome! I always look forward for your next renders .

 Speaking of renders, how long does it take to make a pic like these ones?.

This particular one wasn't too long.  Maybe 10 minutes to render.  It takes me longer to compile it all.  Placing the lights or model.  Now, if I use a Battlestar like the ones I use, that sometimes take 1-2 hours to render.  So it varies.

 Then I was guessing correctly that the time for renders can depend on the ammount of polygons, because TanJ's battlestars are very heavy in polygons.

 But I bet you love the final results in your pics .

Yeah, they are high.  Maybe several hundred thousand.  I will have to find out.  You got me thinking now.

 Hehehe, it should be interesting to know those models' poly-counts... for fun .

 But since you don't seem to have problems handling them, then maybe your pc is very cool.

My pc is 6 years old going on 7 years.  It works good but it is showing it's age.

 All PCs will eventually show their age, but I hope yours is still giving a fight .

 And cool is not necessarily equal to new.

 That's awesome, because I have seen PCs that are little less than exploding at the first sign of trouble .

That's not good.  My screen did bust though.  Funny story too.  My hard drive went out on it a while back.  So I replaced the hard drive.  As soon as I had Windows up and running, I knocked the laptop off the table and on the floor.  Needless to say it busted my screen.  So, I had to replace it too.  I haven't it running too long.  Maybe 4-5 months.  She is a good one.  But I do know that I will have to buy another in the future.

 Sorry about your screen, and your hard drive, and your laptop.... ouch.

 I also know I would be needing a new PC in the future, but I think that as for as long this PC can handle my needs and working fine, then there is no problem and no hurry at all.

In time we both will get ourselves a new one.

 Yup, but not before .

 Even in Star Trek they had to do that, from Kirk's era panels to LCARS from TNG.
