Now with actual volumetric lighting... this is the second of three runs at it, but since I'm not posting the final one here, this'll have to do.

Ummm...its ok...interesting quote. Nice render but do something to the engine glows cuz they're pretty bad.
Everything else is pretty good. :nod:

The engine glows are nonexistent- the Deimos is drifting. The Percy has some thruster flames coming out the back, they're as good as particle effects get when placed inside a volumetric cloud.

Ah. They're as good as particle effects get whem placed inside a volumetric cloud, which is pretty good. They're supposed to be white, if that's what you're thinking.

Pretty good. I would have chosen different colors for the cloud though.

The nebula? Only color it can be- I wanted it to look like the FS one (you can't tell in this version, 'cos of the shadows, but these are some of the NTF ships that made it through), and the scene could only get brighter- any darker and the volumetric shadow dissapears, the actual background is almost black as it is.
