===== Try using a different texture map for the planet. It really brings down the image quality. ===== Not a bad picture, but the ships and stuff are so small that any interesting detail is lost. ===== Planet looks just a little too flat..... ===== Planet could definitely use some work. ===== planet looks 2D (no shadow, no curvature) ===== The planet looks flat. ===== I love the background the planet looks a little fakey though. I think if this looks more 3d'ish it would improve your picture alot. ===== Planetary disk is a little too flat. You might try attenuating the light (fade_distance,fade_power) and making it REAL bright (you can use numbers more than 1) The area_light is very effective here. If the planet is not a sphere it should be. Check the Halo Demos that came with POV3. 16x9 ratio is neat. ===== Maybe a little more light would help - it's hard to see all the details. ===== Cool concept. I like the notion of fighters having to have tugs pull them in! The large signature was distracting.
