Title: Planetary Orbit(render)

Again, used mainly for testing more stuff...

Fixed the probs w/ my planet. And made my own nebula(the whole nebula by me w00t ;))   Because it was basically to test things, I didn't put any thrusters on the ships unless they already had them. Hope you guys like it... It's my new background

Groovy! A couple of things...

Are you filtering the skins? They look kinda... raw... could be bump mapping.

The stars are all the same size and color (mostly around the sun) which makes it look a little strange.

Aside from that, looking good!

Alright I'll have to remake my starscape to get diff colors...

And I noticed that the skins did look kind of raw myself... might have to mess around with the settings. As I'm fooling with some new things I'll be posting renders(in diff threads of course) ;)

About the stars... you shouldnt be able to see the ones around the sun, they would be obscured by the sun's glare...
And the nebula looks a bit dense...
But i like the planet.
