i finaly can extract the HW2 ships, so i decided to make a simple render. Not my best render but i still like it.





The Sun is made by Thorn.


Comments?

I finally put my finger on what's wrong with Thorn's sun.  Give that sucker a corona.  Put a huge glow around it so that you don't go from sun to background in one quick drop.

Good perspective though.

that sun sure doesn't look like a huge fireball...

[Ashrak]

it definately needs some work......

Maybe a sphere gizmo around the sun with a fire effect implemented? It definitely needs a glow though.

Erm....it has a glow.

[Nico]

need some special glasses to see it?

I like it, but I think the glow (which I can see) is low enough to make this a very, very cool star. Like, to the point of dying. I really like the composition, though.

Not glare-y enough.

He send you some special glasses?

I think I see the glow too, now that I look for it.  Trouble is, it's atmospheric (no more than 5% wider than the star itself) which would look great on a planet but which is completely lost on a star.   Make the glow radius somewhere in the neighborhood of 200-300% the size of the star, and see how it looks.
