Looks very nice, except there's no turret there.  Spoils the effect slightly.

He is right, to the right down corner the beam appears to suddenly dissapear, not fading to the background.

Look at how the Deimos is oriented.  It's coming out roughly perpendicular to the ship, which means towards the viewer.  The perspective isn't all that off, if anything it should be getting bigger, not smaller.

    Hey Thats a Very Nice Render But 1 thing that I did notice is that you hurried the render all the other turrets should be facing the same way and to complete the Image a Ship recieving the Blast would be Nice. But Overall The Render is Nice.. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Good Job

To anyone who still can't see it, just use your mouse to select the picture...it should make it visible.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

About the only thing I have to complain about the beam is the glow at the firing end seems a bit too small. Other than that, looks like you have a very sevicable and sharp-looking beam going.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

maybe if you has you screen brightness turned up to 100 but if you have it on a normal brightness like 50 then it'll be unoticable and it'll look better (black will look black, not grey}
