Spacecraft - Polyloop

This is my first successful design, made entirely in NURBS using Amampi 7 Pro and rendered in Bryce 4. The background is nothing special, as I have no idea how to use Bryce properly. When I work out how to do more things in it, I'll probably post an improved version.

You are well on your way! Looks very good to me. Maybe add some planets and a bit of light?

As a test of how to use photoshop, I've made this little image whilst waiting for my G4 to complete a rather large modelling error :roll: been going for about 5 minutes now... Anyway, the purple laser-type things (for lack of a better word) are added in photoshop, then blurred. I then added a motion blur to all of it. Im quite pleased with it for a first off. Hope you like it.

Hi Rowan,

Okay, I believe the purple laser-type things are called "photons" [ at least if I remember my Start Trek: TOS lexicon correctly

].

Hmmm...I'm still trying to figure out why the motion blur seems to be making it look more blurry rather than in motion. I think After Effects may have a better Motion-type Blur filter for this sort of effect. But in Photoshop, you may want to try a "Radial Blur" with a "Zoom" Blur Method setting and have the Blur Center offset to the mid left. That may give you that spaceship-racing-towards-impending-danger effect that you are looking for (please see attached images).

Otherwise, nice job...keep up the good work.

Cheers.

My first Carrara render... I've tried to do as you suggested. Not quite as good as I'd like, but I think it should come with practice.
