been what? 4 months since my last pic? Been to busy…
anyhoo, was bored. (Actually, tired of studying, and had five minutes before I needed to be in bed.
so, I opened blender.
ploped in an old background that I’d done, ship, lighting, etc.
in other words. a 5 minute speed render. So don’t expect to much.
then applied a random filter to it. Due to my non-posting for several months, I thought I’d do so. Even with a cruddy pic. It’s final. I never saved anything aside from the jpg. So, voila. enjoy. and yea, sunglasses needed.
(Downloads, Enterprise NX-01 , scroll down and theres the conversion for blender. It’s up to snuff with the lightwave/Max conversion with the exception of the nacell glow, which well…while I’ve been BEGGING the dev guys for it, we apparently will not ever really get. Sigh )
really cool looking, a bit grainy for me aswell, but stylish. very good looking. i fell like it needs another ship? but i think it may get to crowded. 10/10!
Photoshop flares look ~ 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000% better then the best blender flare. so I use them instead.
Wow. I’ve never seen such a nice Blender flare. But, you’re right-- the Photoshop one looks better. The flare in the original image is so subtle! I don’t think it’s tacky. The reason the Photoshop flare is tacky is because of its over-use… but I doubt many people wouldn’t even NOTICE the flare, much less assert (with some confidence) that it was generated with the Photoshop filter.
I like the image overall. I like the compostion and the need for sunglasses. The shape of the planets didn’t really bother me at first… but now I think it’s starting to.
The clouds of stars look too bright as well… But for a 5-minute scene- really well done.
