Sweet! That's really nice. And it shows that Bentusi trade capsules can do other things then just launch in mid-combat and get blown up

I wonder: Thorn, can you replace the textures on those ships with something more crisp? The  closest ship looks very fuzzy becuase of the low res texture.

Other than that, its gorgeous. Its just a touch bright for me to use as a background (but I will anyway  ). Oh--and nice to see a peaceful scene.

there's something faeric (sp?) with Homeworld ships, can't say what...

Faeric? You mean 'faery like'?

Aside from the yellow glaring on the left side, I think I liked it better before radiosity. It seems like some of the polygon edges are more distinct now, so the ship look s more like a model, rather than a ship.

I hope I'm making sense.

Well, the glaring is intentional, the inside bit of Bentusi ships is supposed to be bright...
Youre right about the edges though...
Hmm...
Maybe if I crank the anti-aliasing up a few notches...

No no! I like that glare on the left--except for the highlighting of that edge right there.

Hm, I think it's a little bit too bright. And the carrier also looked better before, IMO. I liked the way it blended into the background.

It looks good.  

What it's missing is light persistence on the ship in front of the star. Reckon you can handle that?

Think of a solar eclipse, you dont see the moon at all, just the shadow it casts..
Same idea here...

In a solar eclipse, the moon eclipses the sun - ie. the subject light source - and so nothing shines through. But here, the subject light source is visible, so light bleeding is meant to be there.  

If the ship completely eclipsed the sun behind it, that would be okay then.
