Description
My first serious attempt at an image using Carrara 6 Pro, which I got because of the surface replicator function (used here for the trees and rocks). These are medium quality renders with just 10000 photons, ambi occlusion and skylight enabled.
All models mine, Carrara's in-built tools used to create terrains and trees. Hexagon used for Ship, Site cabins, Aircon units on cabins and access stairs. Most of the textures are mine, with a couple of generic dirt textures from 3D Total Vol2.
Can't decide what camera angle to go for (I have five cams in the scene currently) - any advice/comments welcome.
Thanks for looking,
All the best

Great sci-fi image Steve, cool modelling that shows off the whole scene really well. Don't know what other camera angles you have but maybe one that's close up to the structure enhancing it's sense of scale. Tony :-)

Great showcase for Carrara! Model and landscape are great!
Biffowitz
Awesome modeling and artwork, a must see full size. Impressive and unique render!!
MarkBremmer
Nice work.

Great job modelling and rendering - DAZ could use this a advertisement for Carrara :)

Great scene.
grafikeer
Very well done...great modeling work,and the damage textures really add realism to the scene...I do think if you buried the ship slightly offset into the terrain it would be even better,but this is an excellent scene!!
Geophree
Most Excellent!

Looks great! I like the overall sense of scale and your scene details. My only advice, having seen ancient plane-wrecks in the jungle, is to have some smaller under-story type plants sprouting here and there on the ship where enough wind-blown dirt and seeds might gather over the many years since the ship crashed. Just my .02 cents. Really good work.

wow, this is cool! nice modeling and texture work, great sense of scale. i must get around to learning c6 one of these days!

Excellent work. My advice...keep doing what you're doing. It's great.
ThomasMacCallum
fantastic, love the huge scale here.

I like that image. Very well executed. My advice: Carrara is sensitive on scaling. The scene looks a bit tiny, so maybe upscale the elements in the scene and go for a realistic atmosphere. The camera angle is great and the modeling fantastic. Just go on.

cool image nicely done.
Nod
Excellent work so far. Can't wait to see it when you've finished it. Keep the camera angle.

I think the angle is fine, you don't want to loose site of how big this thing is. If you want a different feel try rotating the angle of your camera, it will give more of an animated feel to the scene rather than static, but I like it either way myself.

Great pic. I think an angle from the lake top looking at the hulking wreck disappear into the woods would be awesome. Is that damaged/woren element on the hull built right into your shader or is it an additional layer. I'm looking at aging one of my model for a similar wreckage effect, and was wondering how you got your amazing results here

Nice modeling and render.

Thanks to everyone for their kind and constructive comments. Kamperbeyond, a few people have asked me about how I have achieved the damaged effect so I have posted a short tutorial along with some downloads etc at http://www.zonescreen.eu/blog/derelict-starship-texture-tutorial/ hope this is useful. Thanks, Steve
ramzaforce
great sense of scale

Beautfully done! Enjoyed your tutorial.. Really helpful. Tried to down load the textures from your Tutorial down load page. Got the first, (Upper left hand corner) but the other three wanted me to log on to your FTP site? would not let me do it Anonymously.

Hi rawdodb, Thanks for the comment, sorry you had trouble with the files. I have PM'd you about it with some links, I seem to be able to get the files using HTTP instead of FTP for now so let me know how you get on. For anyone else having trouble till I fix the tutorial, please go to http://www.zonescreen.eu/dload And save the files from there using your browsers normal method for saving files.
