GTVA operations in the Dubhe system (warning: large renders)
Been working on some renders, mostly practicing my cbanim-creating skills. To link the cbanims together, I've centred my works so far around the Dubhe system, its nebula, and one (so far) of its planets, Dubhe IV.

You are a part of the Dubhe system task force (I could make a campaign out of all this), typically flying patrols around the system, and occasionally administering close-combat support to armour columns and marines that drop onto the surface. GTVA is investigating reports of NTF forces leaving this section and suspects there is a hidden base on the planet.

Most information is delivered from the GTA Penfold, the combat group's AWACS support. Here are the stills:

 

You lot should have seen this one before. It's on Venom/Darkage's render wars thread.  

 

Made a nice looking nebula by accident, and decided to make a scan of it. Ta-da.  

 

This one kind of grew out of control. A bit of work with terrain and varying times of day, lighting, fog, and a wireframe schematic of the landing zone. Like I said, it grew out of control and it ended up very complex and cluttered up. But I think it turned out okay, actually.

What else can I say? Pat yourself on the back and resize those things to 1024*768 stat

I wonder how long the bottom one took to render.....
WE ARE HARD LIGHT PRODUCTIONS. YOU WILL LOWER YOUR FIREWALLS AND SURRENDER YOUR KEYBOARDS. WE WILL ADD YOUR INTELLECTUAL AND VERNACULAR DISTINCTIVENESS TO OUR OWN. YOUR FORUMS WILL ADAPT TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE.

I dunno, resizing kinda screws up the proportions...  

Just leave it at centre. It looks nice there.

Well, those are the cbanims. Except, they'll be... smaller.

I might just make a series of stills and carry along the storyline.

What little there is of it   This is just the setting so far.

"...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

...I'm guessing them be good gulps   I'm waiting for Sushi to find this thread and give me his usual reply.  

This is kind of different though... I still want to know what he thinks.

Yeah, I play Diablo 2. I even completed the whole game and its expansion. Baal was no match for my Level 36 Barbarian and his meager Level 3 Leap Attack. Not to mention my super duper rare giant axe.

I put the crazy jumping Barbarian there in my signature to grab attention.

One criticism though - why is your AWACs name after Dangermouse's sidekick?
