What, you expect me to comment on two forums? That's it, I'm just going to quote this reply once I'm done and paste it onto SB.
Render's good. I like the view you have on the further ship, and the closer one has nice nav lights (you did a good job on the metal shader), and the sun is sweet. I still don't like you having your stars so bright (IMHO it shows a focus of the camera more on the starscape), but you don't look to have any signs of changing that anytime soon, so heh.
As a render, the quality is nice, but it's (unfortunately), meaningless. We don't even know if the ships are
moving anywhere, since you don't tell us, and we can't see any thruster glows (sure, they could be coasting, but with relativity and all, how would we know?). So for all we can see, it's just two ships sitting, sunbaking. Ummm...
woohoo! Work on putting some story into it next time (you've done it before, it doesn't take much at all).
Anyway, nice job. I won't steal your limelight by posting my three new renders.
