This is the second attempt, mainly working on the engine effects, and now having a few problems with planets - this wasn't the planet I wanted to use, but I couldn't figure out how to do a ice like ring around the planet (something else I have to looking into) This engine effect I did by creating a light (sphere) then adding a yellow texture to it. I rendered that by itself, and then added to back of the ship by using Photoshop (I know, I cheated ^_^) Please, tell me what you think... tracy-ann(WiNC)
