Pretty. The POV needs playing with and the lighting could be better, but for an animation shot, that's pretty damn good.

Nice, nice, nice :yes:

Perhaps a little more light but I love the layout :nod:

There should probably be a little bit of blur on the Omega, those things come outta hyperspace pretty damn fast. It could also do with looking a little grubby. It's far to clean.

Now that you mention it, i totaly forgot about the motionblur.

Meag: There is allot of light in the scene anymore and the pic will look horible. I think it should be a bit darker;)

Anymore sugestions?

A tiny bit darker and soften the light a bit.

Thanks for the feedback guy's;)

The animation starts whit a group of 4 whitestars jumping in and attacking a Omega destroyer, As the destroyer can't defend it's self as it's weapons are disabled it asks for reinforcements thats where this part comes in:)

Styxx: In B5 it's called Hyperspace;):D

The pic is updated, made it abit darker and added motion blur.

Subspace looks more like a 1 way road. Hyperspace is red and is like a openfield:D

Less Omega blur, more top starfury blur.

I like the new Hyperspace tunnel thingy.

Mmm.. Oh yeah.. ahhh.. thats the stuff....
Hmm? *ahem* What? Oh.. yeah.. Nice render :)
Like an0n said, less blur on the Nova, more on the 'Fury..
And you could just call them Windstars...

Something about B5 ships always take my breath away. Probably because I have so many good memories of the series. Looks GOOD, darkage.

I get the same feeling, i can't describe it but it's just so cool to see these puppy's fly and fight.

And B5 has a good story line while ST whit it's technobable no one understands ( maby shrike does:p ). thats one of the many reasons why i Like B5 and not ST.;)
