Skies of Bespin

Skies over Bespin. Set between “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return Of The Jedi”, when Bespin is ruled by the empire.

Thousands of these gas containing platforms hover over the gas giant Bespin. The gas in the chambers is called “Tibanna”. It is used in Blasters to add more power.

This entire scene, except for the tie fighters, was done in about 10 hours. The fighters, which i modeled about 3 weeks ago, took me about 20-25 hours.

thanks to andy, for the great advice, great tips, and great inspiration.

on to the show :wink:

those are actually in the Rogue Squadron games, and in the books.

thanks for the comments guys!

does it look pink to you anywhere?

very nice mood! i think there should be slighty more stuff in the background, maybe model a part of the actual city…

thanks!! does this mean we are brothers in crime? :stuck_out_tongue:

good suggestion, though i’m sick of that scene now :stuck_out_tongue:

Did you put in the mushroom thing in Blender or was that post production?

I’ll take a wild guess and guess that you used a python script to get the blur.

Though not a big star wars fan (at list not in a while, I realy loved it when I was small) I still thinks it’s looks amazing :smiley: [!] but there is something troubling me (not about your pic), in the movie they are saying that gas is mined in Baspin, is it posible to mine gas?, I mean ores are being mined, coal is mined but gas? :wink:

What I like most in this pic, is the lighting…

Excellent job ditto…

BRAVO!!!

Spyros.

thanks guys!!

that was done in gimp. i made the original model, then rendered with alpha. i placed it in the scene where i originally planned it to be, then blurred it, and added the hardlight layer for it.

the rest of the scene used a blurred hardlight layer above the normal layer.
