That’s quite good. Good work.
Great work, i really like, i can’t think of much to criticise it with. Apart from maybe that the explosion is just a bit too bright. Keep up the great work.
One question: Is the planet exploding, or the star? A shockwave would be nice too. Looks good!
Goo
very impressing!
ditto to what goo said: WE WANT A SHOCKWAVE!
.andy
but can you handle a multi diretional shockwave, coz i’m SOOOO sick of the planer shockwaves which are 2d.
i think its dumb how holiwood thinks that space is flat.
a shockwave would surely go in all directions, untill it starts spinning right??
so don’t put in a shockwave unless its a sphere shaped one please.
other than that its wicked.
Alltaken
What the man said, 2d shockwave is an overdone cliche. But in all fairness, follow your gut and do what you feel is right.
tx for the comments…
well, from “my view” of the scene is that the sun explode…then the shockwave started to destroy the planet (that’s why there’s is a trail…all the power of the explosion are burning the planet away) and then the energy of the center of the sun “explose”…bah anyway, If anyway played freespace 2 they know what I mean lol…
anyway, I’m sure no one understood what I said so here’s a more simpler explanation: If I make a sockwave then it would look odd to see the planet getting destroyed because the shockwave didn’t touch it yet…and I tried making the shockwave after it passed the planet but I couldn’t make it right…I promess I’ll try to make a cool looking shockwave…but if it look like crap then… :-?
Very cool. Wicked particle manipulation X-Warrior. As for the shockwave, IMHO the shockwave has already passed by the camera postion. The only place you might see it is in the distance behind the star, probably about a 1/3 of the way down the image…
As you explained above, this is why the planets are disintergrating.
Wicked composition,
Sonix.
ok, I made some test, couldn’t make a great shockwave…sorry guys 
but I came up with this
So now I need to know which one is the best…cause personally I don’t know lol…so which one do you like the most?
Looks like it could be from the exodus project. Just like your ‘rise of the machines’ entry, the ‘cube’ entry… whatever.
what do you mean exactly?..hope you don’t mean that I took stuff from the exodus and use it for the challenges… %|
what exactly is being implied here?
nice stuff x!!
anyway, small update
That pic is awsome X. Only thing I would suggest is you could try to make the side of the planet that is getting destroyed, give it a glowing effect, like burning rock. Not sure how to explain that but it looks great like it is.
AWESOME!
That’s amazing!
Although there’s something funky with those particles of the planet… maybe it’s the size… the spectularity… OR MAYBE IT IS JUST ME!
And also, the dust in the previous one (more shiny) I like that one better…
The colours make me remember something… something good…
well “final update” for the moment hehe
Maybe I’ll add some red/orange on the side of the planet like if it was “burning” 
Tx for the comments guys, I really appreciate them![/img]
Hey X-W! I really like what you’ve done(I like #2 better)…I do agree with Fred_Pyo about the “particle” size, from that distance it would look more like a comet’s tail…anyhow, It’s a great image!
wow
I hardly ever post here but I must say, damn. good job man!
I love the way the chunks are just blasting off the planet, very nice indeed.
WOW…great scene there X-Warrrior!!!
good luck winning the WC !
