Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Hey, I...

Well, I'm taking exams. And working on very big things. Like a two-minute-long movie, on a program and res-level where two seconds of animation can translate to an hour of rendering
Webpage. Yes.

The beam looks great, except for the muzzle glow. The explosion is fantastic; it would be even better if that was the exit wound. But please, anti-alias the edges of the Moloch!

well what's the point. I don't post renders for the pleasure of posting, I post for feedback. I have no feedback. no feedback-> no render.

Not everything. The explosion was made in Lightwave though and guess what, with no particles or hypervoxels. I used a much easier method. Beam and other effects are made in Photoshop and remaping and bumpmaping was also done in LW.

What? The explosion? I used volumetric techniques. Besides, I am not sure how many particles you would need to make the finest details. Not to mention how much time you would need to render it all. Anyway, this seemed simple to me. I don't even know how to work with particles. I also have a render of an ocean which isn't done with particles either.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestions on the deimos guys. I fixed the render a bit and here's the result:

:yes:
How are you getting the glows on the moloch's "spikes" and the diemos's windows?  Just draw them on manually?

No I don't draw them. Actually I point at them and then the glow creates it self using the color of the surface that I pin-pointed. Of course, it wouldn't look that good on ordinary models. The maps need to be altered in Lightwave first so that they can be manipulated later on.
One more thing. The explosion on the second render is different from the one on the first. The first one looked too blurry and foggy so I altered it a bit.

I liked the fog! It was Freelancer-esque, simulating the leakage of gases, fuel and atmosphere from the damaged section.

The Deimos and the beam source look miles better than they did. Good job. :nod:

Though I'd still like to see the beam go through the Moloch rather then just graze it.

Hm I have just throught out a concept on how to bring that to life. Now that I know how to work with layers, I may just try to do that. Thanks for the idea. But on the other hand, the second explosion kinda looks more clean to me.

Though the muzzle glow on the Deimos seems to have shrunk... RTFT while you're at it. I really liked the way you did this Moloch and the previous Deimos.

That's the best comment I got yet. By the way, the glow didn't shrink actually. The beam just got bigger. It is a different beam from the one on the 2nd picture. As for the turrets, I still ahve to figure out how to rotate them. ;)
