An old ships final journey before decommision. *starting it's final journey, is what I mean*

I probably coud've tweaked some things more, but... meh.
Thanks to Ten of Twelve and Stunaep for the helpful comments. :)
I added some noise and text in PS, but nothing else was done in PS. The noise idea is really Reaperman's, or that's where I got it from anyway.

Gosh, they just made that ship not one month ago, and already its being decomissioned?! Wowser. :p

Very nice - you know I love widescreen. :D I like how many of the fighters are only visible by their engine glows - very realistic. :yes: :yes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Not really.

I rendered out the image in 'widescreen' format. Thing is, you don't get the black bars at the top/bottom.
So, open up Photoshop, open the image and create a new image, with whatever resolution you renderd (in my case 1280x***. So for me it would be 1280x1024), and copy your render to the new image as a layer.

Fill the first layer black. And there's your 'widescreen' render.
Then I added text and a little noise to the render.

But otherwise this image was entirely rendered in MAX. Models, lighting, glows and motion-blur.

excellent lightning :yes:
my only comment: the ship looks like it's made out of concrete, but that's really just nitpicking. great work.
SCREW CANON!

give it a bit of specularity and also mmove some of those cannons around - they're too regularly space on the hull to be effective

Its a nice shot, though :)

IIRC, I did add some spec to the carrier, though it would probably benefit from having real Spec and Gloss maps, though.

Wow! :eek2: That's very nice, and I agree with Sandwich that it looks very realistic that those fighters just have engine glows or they'd be hard to spot. :nod:

Gee, if only my Max skills were anywhere near that...  Very cool stuff Ryx. :yes:
