I'm not impressed, but I guess it's passable, sheilds, weapons and the planet are all new things I was testing

they would look better animated, but as I said, it's not that great, the planet was a fractal shader I should have done more work on it

Looks like a big stripe running down around the herc, I think it's a herc. I love the shielding though.

The lighting, as always, needs to be tweaked. The planet is thouroughly unconvincing... either add an atmosphere, or make it pockmarked with craters. Either way, detail it more and improve the lighting.

The planet doesn't look like a sphere, it has way too visible angles.

And the weapons, well.... :wtf:

the planet is suposed to be a nurbs object, but I think you're right

I think the experement with the weapons was a decided failure

with some modifications I think I can save the planet though

then they are just lens flares, I'm thinking maybe the'll look good if I flip the outer layer or invert the opency

Those shields are the best I've seen in any render around here.
