this one is actually good desktop background material.
Would it be too much to ask you to make a 1280x1024 version

"Certain" mortal beings that replied to this thread are asking for the the Judgement Axe to obliterate them.



Ow, and your brainzzz will be gift rapped and sent to Stryke for suction.

Not really, i suppose. Its not compressed much.       198kb

Thank you very much sir ^_^

I had an idea looking at those beautiful pics!

Have a search party scouring the wreckage for survivors or salavagable parts, like a few Faustus's and maybe some freighters, and of course a cruiser for protection.

You could also go really far with using search lights to light up some parts of the Diemos's hull, to bring out details in the hole and some hunks of debris also!

Looks wicked other wise...I should learn how to render...I got loads of ideas...

Yeah, you might be right, I have a nice bright flatscreen monitor, our curvier views may not be able to see it properly. :wink:

Anyway, a new background, and a new texture. Ooo, and new lighting.

Now that its less dark you can see the textures and damage and things - exposing my shoddy work

And as a bonus feature - brighter star:

Mummy, mummy, look what my plug-ins did!

I like the one with the planet in the background, its brightness helps to bring out the debris a lot.  My only qualms with that shot are planet-side lighting (why doesn't light on planet match light on Deimos) and the fact that you have given the moon an atmosphere.  Otherwise, great work.  I'd love to know how you gouged out the hull like that.

Your right about the lighting, but just cause it's a rocky planet doesnt mean it cant have an atmosphere

I used the object subtraction tool in Truespace.  I made a cylender and textured it with a damage texture, then aligned it with the diemos and used the object subtraction tool, under Boolean operations.  Its quick and effective, though add some extra damage detail, ie girders sticking out.
Some of the little chunks were from object intersections, and some i just made myself.
