Description
With raiders and warships on the prowl, unarmed transports take to traveling with modified ships as armed escorts, and search for routes that offer less risk of raiders. The drawback: traveling in a nebula simply trades one danger for another...
---------
This was an experiment. I'd like to do ships traveling in clouds of dust and such, but it still needs work. So, this is really just a request for help from you guys: Tell me what you think I need to do to improve this?
Ships modeled in Bryce, nebula, starfield, etc. all Photoshop.

Excellent stuff, like a WW2 British North Atlantic convoy - armed merchentmen protecting the others in place of much needed corvettes and destroyers. Pesonally I would thin the nebulae a bit as they are obscurring some of the ships. I know that's probably what you intended but those ships are too amazing to hide.

Fantastic work!!!

A busy sky with beautiful ships! Wonderful work :)

Great concept and idea....the only thing that I would critique is that the nebula is really busy and competes with the ships for attention....other than this though, it's a great image.

I really like the ships and the POV, but yeah, I'd suggest thinning the nebula a bit. Maybe just put a filament or two in front of the ships to show that they're still inside the nebula.

Impressive work...both in the Bryce modeling and the post work! Any of these ships available?

Beautiful picture! Excellent art..

That's quite good! But if you want to make it more realistic, I think you should completely hide parts of the ships with nebula clouds, to simulate the fact that ships are inside the nebula.

this is wonderful

Very nice scene. Excellent work!

Excellent depth!!!

Beautiful job...I agree with a lot of the comments, there's 'something' about the nebula...all of their ides have their pros and cons, ha. If there was a way to give the nebula a bit more 'depth' to it? But I do have to agree with your choice of 'thickness' to the nebula and how much it hides of the ships...they should be hid 'cause sneaking through a nebula that the raiders could still see 'em through just defeats the purpose, rofl.

These ships look GREAT together and I like the fleet hiding in the nebula!!! David

Awesome modeling and scene. I think the thickness, transparency,etc of the nebula are just about right.Of course, I've never been inside a nebula!

I wouldn't be able to suggest anything; it looks pretty darn good to me.

No wonder you want to work on this one further. It's a mesmerizing one. Personally, I like the positioning, the pov, extremely well. But, you know what just might be throwing you slightly? Check the smallest stars here when you view the image full size. There's something just slightly unreal about them. They're a neat effect, but they're detracting from the overall comp a little, imho. They lend a certain flatness because they're so very definitely in the foreground. I think it's somewhat skewing the sense of depth. Do you see what I see, and does this make any sense? As for other comments about getting some depth with the nebula, have you tried the artistic filter, adding plastic wrap (sometimes with the sliders, you can even almost totally invert lighting and dimension..but hey, you likely already know this trick), then Edit to Fade Plastic Wrap, to bring it down to exactly where you'd like? I use this often for depth, since most of my stuff lacks 3d impact to start. Just honestly answering your call for suggestions..because it really is beautiful just as IS. :)

This sci-fi scene is absolutely 'realistic', and the hazy effects are excellent. What's more, your modelling adds a lot to the beauty and efficiency of the composition. Excellent work!
