starting with an exploding x-wing - its not brillaint i'ms till workign on how to do explosions but not a bad start

 

expect x-wings firing torpedos and lasers next =)- sadly i must report the model isn't mine got it from theforce.net there is a better one but i wanted faster render times so for explsoions i just used that one

[KillMeNow]

here one of lasers being fire and with the better model - i know the engine glows are to bright buti cant be bother to rerender it just for that well not at the mo anyway got the torpedos to do now

hopeless situation

The explosion could use particles and a bright center. The engine glows look very cool, but aren't X-Wing lasers bright red?

That X-Wing needs a tactical update. Unless it's shooting at a turbolaser or tractor beam, I'd say it should aim for the shield generators

LOL Makes me think back to a few years ago when XWA came out and I first started DeathAngel Squadron (b4 we moved to FS2). Man I tell ya,..some fun missions in those days especially after we got our hands on the custom mission editter  

Still nothing like taking out a pair of ISD 2s with nothing but a wing of X Wings

I don't think XWA is that old lol (XWA gots the most ridiculous capship explosions ever, btw, shame on LucasArt for that)
on the first pic, give the spheres you used 50% self illumination and transparency falloff, will look better (that's how i was doing my explosions before   )

minor improvement to the explosion

 

[KillMeNow]

using more firepower than was needed

 

[Eishtmo]

Ships usually break up as they explode, you might want to try playing with that to make them a bit better.  Different angles would be nice as well.

Visit Warpstorm.  Do it now.

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.

[NeoHunter]

I agree. Maybe you can make the wings of the X-Wing break off in different directions and the cockpit canopy bursting outward with additional flames coming out from there, suggesting that the pilot of the X-Wing met a fiery death.

And turn on anti-aliasing!  That'll get rid of all the jaggies!

Why don't you do a render of a TIE Defender chasing an A-Wing??? Lasers flying...a Star Destoyer and a Mon Calamari cruiser having a slugfest in the background too....

Is that too much??

no anti aliasing cause volumetrics take long enough to render as it is but  more angles and more ships aren't to much to ask - i'm doing an x-wing being chased by a tie interceptor low over the hull of an isd

[NeoHunter]

That would be cool!
