I realy like background, looks cool, like the camera is trying to follow the ships as they streak past.

Nice!

Post by: Hunter on February 02, 2004, 11:05:28 am: Better to have just the energy blobs, can't say Narns use laser-shots like those - Never seen it. Only the Drakh use things like that, with targeting lasers and blobs mixed in. It really does look cool though. *remembers the Lines of Communication episode* ... Those Drakh weapons were cool!

Post by: Thorn on February 03, 2004, 06:16:50 pm: Shadows are a bit sharp. Use shadow maps and spotlights to light the scene. I find you get a much nicer result.
I think theres a decent tutorial for a good space lighting scene at ap3d.com
