Title: My third render (1st encounter)
Post by: Star Dragon on December 10, 2002, 06:57:55 pm

Detecting unusal readings, a soverign and defiant class starships investigate the local black hole. They are astonished when a strange vessel appears from within the event horizon. Introducing The DarkStar... (It only works in Fred, the other two are fine)...

[Edit]: I ported the models and fixed small probs with texts (they are from KA) The back ground pic is from Sci-Fi.com So if you have a problem with the "Black Hole" Then that is your right, but an artist can interpret things differently AND I thought *Hey, that's a ficken cool a$$ed Black hole. Need to get this in FS2!!!*

sorry man but what the hell is with the freaky lighting a black hole sucks light in hence it should be darkish

A black hole would not look like that.
You made that by pasting things into your graphics program (Photoshop or PSP or whatever you use), didn't you?

Alright lads, get the fixed bayonets off the flame-throwers. Its a good concept SD, but I have to admit it could do with work.

First, the background is too low-res - its just... eugh. Sorry, but it is. Secondly, your ships have some very odd lighting and could do with higher-quality rendering options.

Also, you're the artist so its your choice whether to make a proper black hole or not, if not just make up some vague sci-fi-babble explanation why its not black.

Like I said, nice concept, but needs some work on the actual visualisation.

I am NOT the artist, I just wanted to show off the 2/3 ships I got into FS2 and I really liked that interpretation of the B.H. (it almost is exacly what I'm looking for for...) Anyway This is just a stepping stone... I'll probably NOT post another until I learn effects. But yeah to me I really liked how it came out so it's going into my fave folder archive :)
