Description
An Elven Man-O-War approaches an unknown planet...This scene used the tutorial planet scene that comes with the pre-release 7.5, so it's not too original, I must confess
I did find a major bug though that prevented me really making it more orignal, sigh. When I imported my model (from Vue 7), it kept having serious problems, so I gave in on tweaking the planet much and concentrated on working around that damned bug.So far, *touch wood*, only serious bug I've found in 7.5 but I of course, would find it!!
anyway, it shows the really great planets that can be made with 7.5!
Credit to the creator of orignal scene of course
Ship/weapons made by me in Rhino, stars/galaxy done in Postwork in photoshop, and the wing tipes are semi-transparent

Hehe my design (cause I designed one for a story I wrote) was much more modular sorta like a boabab tree inspired concept.
It's good though - gives me a new perspective on possibilities.

Ah
Well my ship's based directly on the Spelljammer Man-O-War,
I'm not much use at original design work I must admit
So I built it to scale based on the deckplans, which I do with all the ships, so I can do layouts, show interior scenes etc.
lot of work, but well worth it, as I cna use them for so many types of scene.
As usual though, I find problems the original deckplans etc messed up on, and add my own touches etc

Well I hope to see more anyway. I just need time and a decent program I can actually use before I can put some stuff up at the quality I want for that.

I usae Vue for scene building
trick is to
a) find a program you LIKE using.
b) learn the baic concepts, they're much the same in all apps, though how they do it varies.
I strongly recommend the book:
Digital Lighting and Rendering, 2nd edition by Jeremy Birn!

Scene building isn't something that's a problem. It's the actual model construction of things.
I've discovered that modeling programs either don't come good or don't come usable...

Wings3D is free
you should also keep an eye out on "Giveaway of the Day" site, sometimes they have freebies of a good commercial program (legit).
blender is under going some improvements to the UI, not before time, lol!!!
