1280x1024 version (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/tap/dragonclaw/battleforvalor1280.jpg)

Another render... =)
This time it didn't reboot on me, I hope you like it. My thoughts on my own render is "resistance is futile", but then the GTVA fights even though they know they will lose :lol:

Comments would be nice... Enjoy!

Damn, reminds me of some of Dark's work.

Now the background nebula isn't quite like his stuff, but the way the glows look and such.

I would suggest not having that much bump mapping on the ships up close, plus the Hatshepsut on the right looks like a giant flat mess of polygons, not like a real ship.

Also having the lights on the ships and the red on the Shivan ships glow would look good. I think that the Ravanna there has some red glows.

Well, my only complaint is that the engine glow of the aeolus looks... "ill" :p

Oh, and next show 4 enormously large beams blowing holes through every ship on the screen? :D


Thx for the comments, I even think the bump mapping on the ships up close are too much, so i'll fix that next time...

btw the 1280x1024 version is up now.
