ulimann644 SFM Nugget Registered: May 2008 Location: Vienna - Austria Posts: 17	By testing a few volume-light-effects and influenced by the voyager-intro I´ve created this scene. Also like the sun-flares the sun is made by me - using procedural layers of LW9 for the surface. Unfortunately this effect needs much rendertime so I´ve made it in a lower resolution as my other artwork, but I´m looking forward to render this scene in a higher res. sometime... Hope you like it... Software: Lightwave 9.5

AMAZING... now if that was only animated... 11 of 10.

BUT. the shuttle is so close to the sun, that there would be no ambient light... I think.

You think absolutly right, japme - but to see a spacecraft mostly dark black on the unlit parts is boring for the most people. That´s the reason why we don´t see real space scenes in 99% of all SF-Movies and Series. Just keep a closer view on Star Wars, Galactica, Star Trek, Babylon 5 or any other visualized SF. In not one space scene you´ll find the correct lighting !! It´s the same with the fighting scenes - they fly head to head like in WW1 in most SF-Movies and Series. ( and even slowly like in WW1 ) Also we hear the engines of the space vessels where nobody can hear anything Not very realistic - but great action.

Funny is: I´ve used the correct lighting for some of my render-scenes ( no ambient light for the unlit parts ) and get critz like: "...hey, newbie, learn to use three-point-lighting..." for it...

The authors of SF-Books didn´t have this problems and can also focus themselves on the ( mostly much better ) story. ( That´s the reason why I like reading SF much more than watching SF )
