Felt like doing something with my sun in it.
Nothing too complex, since it takes bloody ages to render this thing close up...

Nicely done. Is it in any way inspired by either the sundiving stuntship in HHGTG or the time-travel attempt in ST IV?

It's got a White Star in it,  that I always like.

Plus it's got a dam cool sun.

Nice, only 1 prob... The sun appears to be slightly angular :p

Very pretty. :) Still think the star ought to be more glowy, but can't argue with that render quality.

Image composition is good but the chromosphere is too opaque.

Get me on ICQ and you can have a textless  one :p
Yeah, the sun is angular now that you mention it.... I've never rendered it this close, so it didnt show up before...
Turning up the smoothing should fix that...

Actually, from what I've been able to tell, smoothing doesn't help angles that you see at the edges of meshes, it only prevents the sharp breaks in shading across a surface of a mesh.

"...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

That is correct. :D
If you want to fix angularity use meshsmooth.

Yes... though to do that I would have to rework the particle effect. Which I dont want to do.. that was the hardest part.. The emitter is based on the objects verticies...

Thorn, have you tried using Subdivide/Metaform in modeller, that will probably round off the star a bit more, though it pushes the poly count up a fair bit :)

You're right.. I keep thinking I have to freeze the mesh after I subdivide it... (exporting to other formats)
Layout can set the subpatch detail....
