[color=66ff00]I'm confused; you guys think that's bad?!? :wtf:

Personally I find it to be quite impressive for something that's a work in progress.
Maeglamor gives it his nod of appreciation. :nod:

i'd suggest getting rid of those lens flare effects from around those beam points... they look out of place..:nod:

Do not overdo it !
Explosions at the beam impact points would be necessary of course.
Lens flare comes from the flaws of optical lens. Why do you insist on imperfectness ? :D
I agree with Turnsky on this.

It's a good render !:yes:

Thnx

The reason why I'm not rendering this in 3D Max is:
Converting from cob to 3ds doesn't keep the textures or turrets.
I don't have time to re-texture and re-turret several ships just for a render, especially when I can do it in TS...

TS can do quite a good job as well. Anyway MAX requires much more work to set up correct lighting.

But COB to 3DS conversion DOES preserve turret textures. Try PCS and Deep Exploration to convert the models.

Or download the Ravana model (3DS) from my site and give it a try. I will upload some more V models in 3DS format soon.
