===== I think you're right about how textures make a big difference. Excellant job! 20-20-20 ===== An excellent render, the station looks terrific as does the black hole/nebulae clouds and lens flares. ===== You may think about adding some turbulence to cackle (or alot as in my spaceship in mcbcrash.jpg) ===== Agree about your textures. ===== Honest to god that is one of the best black holes I have ever seen! ===== Yes, the textures are brilliant. The space station looks like its been out for eons. ===== I really like the space station texture ===== Nice job. Love the modelled lens flare. ===== Maybe if DS9 really looked like that, the show would be better... ===== The main problem with your black hole is that you can see it - black holes are black! ===== In this competition I've seen so many spaceships, I get sick even at the thought of seeing one more. However, the one in "sstation" is certainly the best. Finaly a spaceship which doesn't look like a cheap toy and isn't surrounded by colourful cylinders pretending to be laser beams. If only there were more space images like this one ... ===== I'd say that this is more than "somewhat" based on DS9... And the station's texture is cool indeed, but a bit extreme. Makes it looks more like a plastic toy than a real station. ===== The model is very nice. The texture applied just seems to fit it some how to me. ===== VERY nice bumpmapping !!! ===== Very, very good. I don't really understand how you achieved the lens flare. Very impressing. ===== I love the texture on your spacestation. The little yellow lights could use some work though. ===== Great lens flare and very nice textures. But no source files! NOT FAIR. :^( ===== Great station design. The crackle finish makes it look a bit odd, however. I agree that it looks organic. Love the lens flare!! ===== Notable for modelling ===== I love the "lizzard skin" look to the surface of the station (or that's what it looks like to me). The whole image retains some sense of looking familiar but the textures suggest something "not human". Notable for textures ===== Notable for textures, lighting, composition, modelling ===== A very powerful piece in every respect. Notable for textures, lighting, composition, modelling
