Interesting, how did you do the corona?

I told you that It would be done by November, well, mostly anyway...

Figuring that out now  

The sun's a max model I got off 3dcafe. Figured it HAD to beat the old "lens  flare" method,..but unlike the planetary models I've looked at that use a seperate sphere model for the atmosphere effect,..this sun is a single sphere using to volume lights for the corona and all.

But makes a close up MUUUUUUUUUUUCH better than a flare

A bit dim, for a sun, isn't it?

Yea but I figured a solid bright yellow image would just be in bad taste  

But seriously,..I'm still messing around with it. Notice it's got a tuch of green...still working on removing that.

I had a similar model for 3dsmax 2. It was a very good one, but I can't find it.

Sides in theory wouldn't all suns look alike expect for color ?  

Big..round...flaming,..gives off light (in varying amounts)

LOL Well being I never liked Decent that'd be why I didn't catch it  

Actually it's just a colored sphere with to Volume lights (Gas and halo) and two targetted spot lights.

Spent a little more time today dismanteling it and checking it out   Learned a few new tricks to.

The whole image looks a little bit..washed out, to me. Dunno what's about it, but it doesn't seem as..sharp..as other renders.

Now that you mention it, it does look a little blurry...
