I'm gonna be rendering again as soon as I get everything reinstalled, but I do have some stuff still, and so I figured I might post something....

Hmmm.

Lens flare circles = :no:
Funny blob things = :no: :no:

Its also a bit wierd how the background in light blue.  It makes the darker patch round the edge of the flares look wrong.



Edit:

Post 800!!!!!

you need to work on your photoshop technique my friend;)

a good way to use those lensflares is to add it to it's own separate screen layer and then set the layer tranparency to less than 60% or something, that way the flare isn't too bright.... i did the same for this:
(http://users.bigpond.com/turnsky/images/orbit2.jpg) there's a lens flare in there somewhere...

It's supposed to look wierd. The lens flare is in its own layer, but using some blending option like difference or something. It's an experiment for something else, and when it's done, it'll look like subspace (or something like that).

Meh...

Yeah, it's interesting... you can have some real fun playing around with those layers. :nod:

Nice starscape, Ryx. ;)

Corsair: :yes: I like it - it's not "realistic", which is why I like it. :p Perhaps make the center of the star more white.

Turnsky: Verruh verruh nice

Ryx: Never thought I'd be saying this to you, but :no: I can see what I think you're trying for - stars, lit-up nebula, and unlit nebula, but it's not there by a long shot.

Oh, and Greg Martin. :nod: :yes:
