Made with Bryce

Created by Horo

The model is pTurbine by Richter, available here in the 3ds Models department. The background was made in Apophysis, again by Richter. What the heck did I do? I created a spherical panorama from the square Apo render, mapped it around a sphere and rendered the 6 cube faces 4 times with different intensities of the radial lighting the sphere. From this, I faked an HDRI light probe with low resolution. From the LDRI pano I created a mask with the bright parts transparent. The LDRI pano and the mask were mapped on a sphere. The bright and blurred parts of the HDRI shine through the appropriate places in the hi-res LDRI on the sphere, lighting the pTurbine model. The dark parts of the sphere are lit by a radial behind the model and are shown in much higer resolution than the HDRI is. Rendered with 256 lights, premium with 36 rpp in around 4 hours. A spider-like spaceship in a web-like nebula.

- Im still trying to figure out what you did. I like the texture that you used on the ship. The background is very well done with wonderful colors. I think I like the left part of the background the most, with some of the darker colors and bright orange/yellow.

- Just when I thought I was beginning to master you lingo you had to put this together. Wow. Very nice space scene this worked out very well. Great spaceship.

- I like the material you used on the ship

- I agree with connorzelinsky regarding the background. The bottom-left part has a lot of depth in it. The ship looks battered perhaps flown through the Asteroid Belt. All together great scene!

- Horo, this is realy good! And I think it was very tricky to create such a picture.

- Looks great. I get the feeling of outer space, or maybe of subspace. I think the lighting on the ship or object is incredible, I love the orange warmth.

- It's somehow reminiscent of a Goa'uld Ha'tak. Pretty cool! ;-) You did the background with Apophysis? It deffinitely has a feeling of depth. It stimulates the imagination into pondering what sort of 'dimention' this scene is set in. ;-)
