Hmmm, I dunno... the lack of lighting on the Galatea seems to contradict the lighting on the planet (Arrakis, anyone? :p ).

The perspective is also kinda.... fishy. ;)

The Ship's angle has her looking a bit distorted to me.

And what's so bad about flaming pear done BGs? For ppl just getting into rendering I wouldn't expect them to completely model and render a nebula :)

Sand...if you have any luck with that .... lemme know,...I've tried the neb as well as the phaser and photon torp tuts there with no luck at all :(

My torp came out looking like a North Star on crack :D :lol: I think it was really written for either an older or newer version of max than 3.1

Hehehe - will do, but you know, there's always either Photoshop or Illusion... Here's some examples of both:

Photoshop - my memory is horrid, or I would give credit to the person who rendered the original Enterprise here, but I forget who it was. Anyway, I simply added a phaser in Photoshop.

Second, an example of what kind of animation work can be done in Illusion - a number of examples, actually. :D

I've got some semi-decent nebula results by just using an inferno lensflare on a light.....

Post by: PSYCHO on November 22, 2002, 11:42:58 pm
Hehehe Well first you use FlamingPear and build a nice looking Neb then using PSP or any other PaintProgram that has a tool called Pinch or something like it .... Group an area at the center of the Image and just pinch it ...easy.........8) and Iam glad to be back haha
