Hi, my name is Karl Stöcker, and I was born a long time ago, way too long, in Berchtesgaden, Germany, grew up in Düsseldorf, and since 1966 have been in the US (mostly). I've traveled a lot, 46 countries by this time, and I am planning on many more. I've spent a couple of decades in the US military, active and reserve, and since retirement from civil service, worked off and on as a high school science teacher in a suburb of Sacramento. Ever since my original ID's Doom days, back when it was just released on a floppy disk as a free level advertisement, I was interested in learning about 3D CGI, but I didn't get started until I retired from civil service in 1996. Since then I have been working with Truespace, Bryce, then Lightwave 3D, and Vue. Also dabbled a little in Poser 4, but just bought Poser 6 and am starting sink my teeth into that a bit. My website, http://www.cosmic-pearl.com/, has more details on me, should anyone not be bored to tears by now, also there are LW Viking ship and Star Wars X-Wing tutorials, as well as downloadable meshes (which can be imported into Vue, BTW) - my free stuff to the CG community.

Brilliant!I love it!While I am bias a little because I like aircraft,you do have an eye for shapes but more importantly lighting it properly making it believable to the viewer.Great background.Nice job!

Beautiful shot, and a beautiful model. I'm biased, as well, just because I'm so excited about the accomplishments of SpaceShipOne and its builders and crew; this is right up there with the Apollo program, IMO, and I'm eager to see it get the recognition it deserves, as well as to see how far they can go with it. Shots like this make me feel like a kid again! :-D

Wonderful modelling and realism !
Askguden
The only thing I don't like about your model is that it is so white, but that's just because I don't like white. Nice render indeed. vote
oooZENOooo
The has been the best POV so far, to show your cool model, very nicely rendered too!

Thanks all. I too was pleasantly surprised to see the outcome of this render and enjoyed it as much as you do. Probably just dumb luck ;-). Askguden - here's a look at the real thing. This is the Scaled Composites (Burt Rutan Co.) official website: http://www.scaled.com/projects/tierone/index.htm

The surfacing of the white parts looks spectacular...Really captures the surface of the real thing... The red paint though is really the only thing that tips me off that its cg... But I can't say why. Nicely done

So, Moeb, here it is in flight with vanishing landscape ;0.

Brilliant!!! This is exactly what I was hoping for! It's got a very calm majestic sort of look to it here. Absolutely flawless, in my humble opinion... and well deserving of a vote! :o)
