Beautiful render. Btw, any Sci-fi is good Sci-fi. My fave is Babylon 5. Love those wacky Vorlons, lol.

He, he, me too, B5 is excellent, so the movies they made after, planing to do B5 render in a very near future, stay tuned ! :)

I still rate B5 as the best so far, but farscape is pretty good

This is very good! It's been a while since I've seen the series, but it seems you've captured some of the essense and feel of it here. My only suggy would be to cheat in a tiny bit of light on the more "shadowy" side of the ships to make them "pop out" a bit against the darkness of the planet behind them. I keep running into advice about "three-point lighting" when I read tips from the lighting pros. I really like the ships,planets, and background. Keep doin' space scenes, I love 'em!

Made couple of changes in the ship texture, and posted a little bigger size ! :)

modeling that sucker is a pain..did it in Strata and Wings, and still it doesn't look right (especially when you notice the reference pics seem to show an 'evolution', particularly in the tail..;) The reference pics show it as sort of a muted reddish-gold, with lines across it..I have seen a mat like that, mebbe you could try it..
keep 'em coming..

I used only one image as a reference and texture is done by me in UV mapper and combined with one procedural one, I just liked it, and decided to go with it !!!!

Yep, screen capture from one of the episodes, my only reference, so far, hope with this new mini-serie coming up in october they are going to reveal more of Moya's texture close-ups and details !!!
