I made this, this morning, because I wanted to do credit to the cylon model I found at sci fi meshes. But then I changed my mind. Why not make some sort of battle scene with explosions. While the sound of the word explosions was coming down my tongue I realized I didn't know how. Luckily I found two splendid tutorials at 3dcafe.com about making lasers and explosions. Personally I am really fond of the background, which was made with the flaming pears demo versions of lunar cell, gliterato and solar cell. Which will expire in a week. How sad that is. The laser however still needs some work and some motion effects are now being rendered, but I have other things to attend too. So I post this anyway and keep the motion picture to myself. Best wishes to all, and happy rendering. Quiter
