Nice work! Maybe it is just the brightness of my monitor but I can see some white streaks in the sky around the base. Also the shadow/base under the dish looks a little unfinished. But I do like the new landing pad, and I think it looks better without those stone rectangles that were on the pipe. Looks like we will be using flying saucers rather than shuttles in the future, huh? :-)
Thanks for your feedback - The white streaks are actually deliberate - though not effective enough. I've tried to create a mist and the edges are too sharp - I am definately going to fix this error!!
Ah... This one invokes an image of a much classier craft (than in the original Base M 5739-X) approaching smoothly and softly. (noises off - low humming, some almost-out-of-range digital tones, quiet voiceovers by Major Tom...). An altogether more sophisticated "Space Odyssey" image . Well done. And thanks for all the fish!
(Hmmm - I think I've included an illegal number of po'mo' references....)
Ha ha! Looks like Ebjo is the only one glad about thoes streaks! I like that idea, starships leaving at warp speed! How creative! Nice picture, the landing pad is impressive!
Very nice work. It looks more like a model set for a studio than real, but as such, it's very good. Extremely interesting scene - quite an ambitious project which I'd have no idea how to even think about, never mind begin. Impressive.
