IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
  Spaceship passing by a far away sun...

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
  This image contain 18 objects and 36644 faces

  Sun :
    The base of the sun, is simply a sphere, the mapping is a fractal noise
    self-illuminated. The flame around the sun are made with two VolumeLight
    with noise and turbulence applyed to them. The erruption is done with 
    a particles generetor (they are 5000 particle in this render) The particles

    are falling back to the sun because i placed a gravity modifier that affect

    the particles.

  Ship :
    The base of the ship is made with some lofts. The images on the ship
    (the eagle, the black & yellow bars and the Danger strip) were made in 
    Corel Draw, BUT they are not on an object of their own, they are mapped
    dirrectly on the ship. And the best part of those ship, the fire, is 
    made with a combustion plug-in for 3ds Max.


  Space :
    The space is made with 3 layers of noise. 1 layer for the stars. 
    And 2 layers for the blue effect.
