Hey, great render! It looks really good. Perhaps a higher resolution image is in order?
the image is 1024x768. I resized the placeholder so anyone can see it here. if you right-click and follow it to imageshack it will load in full size.
the starfield tecnique you told me, doesn't work. I don't get a real starfield that changes when I move the camera, it's just a background pic. it's perfect for pictures or standalone renders, tho. but I can't get flybys or travellings with that.
on the other side, looks like Anisotropic materials are faster to render. I spent near 50 seconds to render the whole image, while the pic with the other Sovereign ^^ took me near 2 minutes with Metal and Phong materials, and I had to do some small touches in Photopaint after that.
Hey, the render looks pretty good.
Of course it's pretty small, and that cg sov 1.0 has some things that does not look that good in closeups like that empty white windows, but overall it looks pretty good so far.
Time to add some faint glow to that impulse engine.
actually, that's not CG's texture. I modded it a little so it glows white instead of blue, but the glows in the blue texture were white, so white on white doesn't work
the hull, however, is still as it was. so the little windows still glow blue.
