The one of the odissey has a great angle and FX, just the bump on the galaxy that looks extremely wierd... you know the actual ship is barely bumped.
The second with the intrepid has the better lighting of all, the only 2 downpoints on it are the fact you're using a extremely low model (p81 isn't it?) and that you nede to adjust the specular level / maps on max differently from bc to make the different surfaces to act differently in max.
The fleet one is a good idea, and the main source light is good at the flare, just the back of it looks strange, perhaps because the ships should be barely back lighten, perhaps giving it more contrast.
As for the credit part, what is commonly accepted in all Cg forums is that, whne you use someone's else stuff, you actually write in the pic the credits to the model author and to yourself as the image author.
heh, yeah, I know.....
those errors are kinda intentionally done, my screen is a bit too dark, so I need to adjust the brightness on max to see what I'm doing, and it affects the pic.
the next one will be closer to the shows
the intrepid is WTR's intrepid, with a retexture to white that I forgot who made and I even forgot I had on my HD until I tried to load it in Max. the Bozeman reg is mine.
the speculars on it were set to be used on a darker scene, but I liked this one, so here it is. in Max, I have to combine speculars and glosiness on a metallic material to get a nice effect. I'll post one with a Defiant that I could render nicely
and the fleet was planned to have indeed barely ambience lighting, but, as I said, I was nearly missing what I was doing, so I added more brightness.
these are, I hope, storyboards of a trailer I'm working on. (huh, self-advertising anyone?
) Or the fleet one, at least.....
