It almost looks like a screencap from an ep of B5. Great work, is it for TBP?

Nope just something for fun.

[Bri_Dog]

You're going to put it for us to see when it's finished right?

I always love watching fan made animations.

[Setekh]

Awesome, Daan. The motion blur really completes this picture, I can imagine a hundred stories behind the render. Love it.

[Darkage]

Thanks Eddie:D

Bri_Dog: Yes i am working on it atm i'll try to post an update soonish.

Remember it's a short animation though but maby if i am in the mood i'll extend it.

[Lightspeed]

I dont like the blue effect.

But i didn't like that in B5 either, so...

[Darkage]

Update:

I updated the camera movement abit.

Now to add some fighters and returning fire to it. Just to make it abit more interesting.

[Face Dancer]

I like the pic, although I think you could've done the nebula a bit better. Somehow, it doesn't sell to me.

[DeepSpace9er]

Just one quick question... what the hell is it?

[Carl]

you've never seen babylon 5?

You realy never seen/heard about the show?

It's the Omega Destroyer from Babylon 5.

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

Someone doesn't know about THE Omega Destroyer?

Couple of suggestions:

-Add some blue light from the jump-point

-The nebula could be a bit more interesting, but it looks good enough to me

-Change the camera angle back to the original. It's more dramatic

[kasperl]

TBH, i didn't recognise the ship either, i just saw a hole like subsppace effect, and Darkage's name, and expected it to be B5.

[aldo_14]

Truly one of the most god-awful ugly ship designs in history.

Nice render, tho.

Man.. that second shot is... well.. to put it bluntly, the lighting sucks man... Its tooo bright.
I would expect some blue light from the vortex, and maybe some very dim green light from the nebula. Unless of course you have a sun on the other side of the thing. Even then, the light is a bit harsh. Try using shadow maps. I pretty much swear by these things now. Unless you're doing a scene that would call for really harsh lighting, like a laboratory or something, I would use shadow maps.
The lighting in the first one is pretty good though. Shadows are a bit sharp, but thats just my preference.

Yeah your right i was messing witht the light setup and kinda ****ed it up there. but it was more about the camera angle.

And i need to get back into it i havent done anything for a long time:D

But thanks for your input:D
