Cool. Unless you didn't make the model, in which case... well, it's still a pretty background.

I am not a Star Trek fan, so do not look me stupid ... but is that the USS Enterprise?

oh.


well, the last time i saw DS9 was 6 months ago, so don't blame me. the only crap they show here are VOY (somewhere before S4, Kes doesn;t really enhance the plot....) and Ent, somewhere during S1.

i knowm but during S4, she really helps the plot, by dieing.

well, not dieing, but turning into a devine being.

A frying pan with a star background. Beauty shots don't do much for me. There's nothing happening here, no dynamics. The framing is good, but that's about the only thing I like.

one bad critic and a few random spam posts concerning the ship and the galaxy around that ship isn't all that bad?

Ash: Well, it's not like you exactly did anything, I don't see where you're getting this self-righteous attitude. You've made a render featuring a shiny backdrop and a model you didn't make... and nothing else. Okay, the background- it's nice, but other people have posted similar takes on that tutorial before, and honestly it's not all that much cooler an effect than a well-done Glitterato one. And... what? The ****ing light? Ooh, I'm impressed, so much to say there, it looks like it's practically the default settings. Oh, and you put in a noise filter in Photoshop and some text- stunning. Nothing of interest here is yours. There isn't even a composition that could reasonably be called yours. There's barely one at all. You have nothing to comment on, period. Either model something worth rendering, make a render that's more than just importing a model, slapping a bitmap into the "environment" field and rendering it, or quit *****ing like you're so God-damn underappreciated.

Christ, kids these days.

Which part of "no dynamics" did you fail to parse, Ashrak? You've got a ship that's sitting in place. There's nothing here to make us sit up and go "oooooh!". Is she moving or is she floating dead? In either case, why is she doing so? Give us some context IN THE PICTURE for what we're seeing. Otherwise, its just a beauty shot of a ship and those are just not interesting.

That's a nice background, if you did some high res backgrounds for the Source Code Project that'd be great :)

Indeed, the background is great. I like the style of it, I'm quite a fan of well-used fractal noise. :yes:
