===== From philip.chan@home.com: Excellent detail and texturing for the fighters! The destroyer, background (starfield), and (as you said) the explosion could have used more detailed. Another little bit of detail that would be nice (as I tried to create in my image) would have been to have the projectile streams follow a curve so to make it look like the turrets were adjusting their aim as the battle went on. ===== From lrwii@joplin.com: When I first saw the HMS Calgary I thought it was a whale. Before I read your image description I thought The theme was "Save the Whales" or "The whales strike back" ===== From StephenF@whoever.com: Nice use of dramatic lighting, and good use of special effects... they don't draw too much attention to themselves, as I've seen them do in other scenes. ===== From gmccarter@hotmail.com: Good sharpness to the scene. ===== From tm-ray@consistent.org: It isn't obvious from the picture that the large ship is supposed to be a freighter, or that it's actually a warship in disguise. It looks unrealistically smooth. Also, why does it have a door open if it's fighting, and hasn't launched any fighters of its own through it? Is the upper fighter on fire, or is that the normal engine thrust which the lower figher does not have because its engines have been shot out? It was also not clear that the fighters were supposed to be asymmetric as opposed to having been damaged in the fight. I agree the explosion is not bad. ===== From delfeld@mailcity.com: I am sure it was a nice learning render for you. ===== From r@cw03.md1.srv.t-online.de: It seemed to be you don't like gardeners ;-) ---benno---
