ladies and gentlemen, here is it! after several months i've found some time to waste and could complete it this is a tribute to two of my favourite tv series i watched when I was a child: gene roddenberry's strar trek and leiji matsumoto's uchuu senkan yamato. i really loved both of them. this is also a tribute to iain banks and his novel 'use of the weapons'. my nickname on renderosity comes staight from the protagonist of this sf novel, a space mercenary who likes to use unconventional weapons - everything can become a weapon (my apologies to mr. banks for the condensed description). maybe iain's zakalwe would have acted the some way in this battle scenario. special thanks to anthony j. case and his 'the space cruiser yamato vs the enterprise' if you don't know it, copy and paste the link below: http://members.tripod.com/~Desslok/dietrek/argovs.htm last but not least, this is probably one of my last renders in bryce 5 - with a lot of postwork. a tribute to a gorgeus 3d app that gave me lots of hours of fun, art and money. thank you for viewing /matteo
