Did a bit of post-production with The Gimp:

  • selective blurring (for propeller and smoke)
  • darkening the anchor
  • the Title

I’d still call it a ‘Pure’ entry, but just to be fair, the original render

Rest done in Blender.
Hope you like it. :slight_smile:

I suppose it’s pure, the only thing i did outside of Blender was resize it…

2nd edit: I’m a monkey!

placeholder - it’s time I got back into the WC scene…

Count me in… Just give me the time to finish my render and it will be fine… :smiley:
Long time since I entered a WC! :slight_smile:

This turned out better than I expected.

(but how do you get halo’s to reflect?.. I gave up here)

AntiGravity Ship

to get halos to reflect, you have to use environment mapping instead of raytracing. also you can get blurred reflections that way.

Pure entry, I used gimp just to scale the image from 1280x1024 to 640x512. Spent most of my weekend modelling the monk, didn’t have any time left to work on textures, environment and lighting.
