It's been 5 months or maybe even more since I rendered something, so here's a one I did today. Any opinions? Suggestions? They are welcome as always.

Link removed... Don't use an0n's webspace - he loves doing crap like this. // Sandwich

EDIT. I just noticed that it looks very pixelised. If you get this too, please tell me.

Hey, that's pretty nice! :yes:

You might want to make the shivan beam a bit brighter, the white center is a bit bland.

rotate the turrets and remove the turret debris on the corvette, first.

Agree with the 2 above, I'd also suggest adding some incidental detail - i.e. more laser fire from the ships towards each other, maybve even flak - you've got the glow & the explosion looking pretty damn nice :)

Ok thanks. guys. Yes, it's been a while since my last render, but I am just getting back into shape. A few things that I can't do. I can't rotate the turrets because simply said, I don't know how. So anyone know how to rotate the turrets in Lightwave? I guess I might be able to make flak explosions. I might use the test explosion i used here which was blended with other explosions so it may work. Now I don't egt this. When I view the immage my self, it all looks pixelised and blurry. What's the problem? I am having this only in my browser IE6, but when I made the render, it looked ok I guess.

The shivan ships allready have glows added, it's just tha tthey are small and a bit too far away to notice. Deimos has glows just like Rakshasas..

hmm but still take off the specularity unless you have spec maps :)

Edit: on a BETTER not give the glossiness and specularity the same settings as the main texture aka press T set UV map XDS soft and the map then use texture this will give you PRETTY good shines  :)

I agree 100%.  The overlapping debris models kill more otherwise decent renders than any other flaw.
who needs a signature? ;)

I never used Lightwave myself but I'm pretty sure there must be some way to rotate objects, just take a quick look into Lightwave's user reference that should get you the neccesary info. And you might want to work a bit on that explosion effect, it looks too 2D in contrast to the image

Well the turrets would need to be either seperate objects or seperate layers (v. 6.0+ only) but either way they will then be available for rotation and the rest...
HLP's... Ummm... Can I get back to you on that?
