Description
The ship was modeled and rendered in Rhinoceros 1.0, the Landscape was done in Terragen, and the effects and collaging were done in photoshop.
I liked what the lens flare did to the sun but I was unable to remove the circles below(whatever they're called). I should probly have just used the airbrush instead.

Nicely done! I haven't tried the exhaust plume and dust off tricks yet. I think your's turned out well!
The Lens Flare is excellent- I don't know what the circles are called, but they occur in real cameras, due to the shape/size of the Iris- they are often slightly rounded hexagons or octagons, depending on the number of planes in the Iris. Some programs (Imagine for one) exaggerate them, for clarity. Excellent picture, but, the spacecraft looks a little too clean- as if it's straight off the production line. Maybe a little dirt?
The Render is nice and the Terragen world looks good too. The model(I dont know what it called) suits it? Very goo use of PS too.
Brilliant work. Would love to know how you did the little dust cloud, very nice effect. If you have Paint Shop Pro, you can eliminate the small circle lights. I don't think there's much you can do in Photoshop as far as that, I'm not as familiar with that software. I love this, you certainly have a talent!
