Later, after Herman Zimmerman discovered John Eaves did illustrations and drawings at a very high level, he asked him to be on Star Trek: Generations, the 1994 film where Eaves worked with Michael Okuda and others on the Enterprise-B sketch concept design. Eaves also talks about how Zimmerman asked him to come on board to Star Trek Deep Space Nine soon there after. Part 1 of a 2 part interview.
