everything can be improved  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

j/k

I think the background and lighting effects need work  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Lens flare seems too original as well

Use a local light for all the ligthning. For the first renders, it's enough I think. You'll have better shadows then. Mmh, in fact, you'll have shadows lol.
Mmh, I think that's Setekh who told this to snipes: let you pic tell a story. Don't just throw some models in front of a pretty background. First decide what you want to show. A fleet? A capship fight? Anything? Take the time to place your ships hwo you would place them in fred and then imagine how they would move in fs2(yeah, that sounds dumb, but I think it works well), Then move the camera around to have the best point of view possible.
But my main advice is related to the shadows: Try to have contrasts, contrasts make the mood of your pic, and you can only have contrasts thanks to lightning.
Ok, that's my two cents, I now let render masters like Setekh giving better advices coz my neuron is now almost dead from a very exhausting night  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Are those capships? Because I think a scled down version would make a kick ***  fighter... Intercept most likely, it looks fast...

Damn... I'd have a kickass B5 render for you, but I need more RAM to render the 409 000+ poly scene  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I'm just curious. What is it about lens flares that they MUST be in every render?

Yeah, but you might want to wait for it´s ´facelift´ to be completed.

Yeap, but I doubt this one will have a general release before the MT release itself... or maybe I missed something
