Description

The Hard Bargain (remastered, with new textures) puts down at a ritzy Sky City landing pad. I did this one to both give the HB a new set of textures and to work a bit more with carrara's lighting and volumetric clouds. I'm still learning carrara's basics and the more I learn, the more I like, esp. for my ships and tech stuff. The Hard Bargain's upper hull is more detailed than it looks, but the lighting and the angle drowns it out a bit. But that's okay, it works inside this image, and that's what matters. Usually, I don't like carrara's lens flares, as they drown things out sometimes, but I tried them out here, fiddled with them and made them work. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

This is beautiful. Although the ship looks like a low polygon model, the lighting and effects make up for it. I like the landing lights in particular.

I'll agree with Rookardir: it is both beautiful and looks low-polygon. There are some shading artifacts on the top hull and what I believe is the front of the engine looks like a polygon rather than a circle. On the other hand, these could be intentional. What matters here is the image, and I like it. Sorry for the nitpicks.
