Description
Passing Saturn
The nuclear powered spaceship Cumberland passes Saturn in route to Titan in the first of three landing on three different moons in the Saturn system. All models created in Bryce 5.5 and 6.1 then render with both objects in 5.5. The post work was completed in Photoshop and starfield created in Universe.
I posted a question about creating a spaceship model for sale here or on another website. After reviewing all the comments, I received regarding this subject I have decided not to pursue this endeavor at this time.
I would however like to thank everyone for all your comments and suggestion. I may in the future approach this subject again.
Thanks again for taking the time to comment on my work.
All the best,
David

Nice work mate.

The image is great! Don't let nay-sayers stop you from posting a product for sale. You don't have a chance unless you take one!

I agree with rookardir, but it would be a shame if your objects were limited to Bryce. I'd love to see one of your ships landing on a Terragen moon

Well if the market ain' there... Great image as always. Do those guys ever take a break? ;-)

First rate space environment and ship design!!!

Very nice lighting angle; it gives the scene a sense of massive scale.

Great Work....!!!

Excellent render lighting indeed!

Love it!

Ace image, fantastic lighting :)
thecytron
Great rendering work!
geirla
Great view and lighting! This image really conveys the massive distances involved in space somehow. Your models are definitely the most believable and the most complex (at least for Bryce) out there. I'm sure there would be a market for them. Maybe you could test the waters by selling a few landers. (If you want some nits on the image: the blue glow at the bottom is a bit of a distraction, as are the uniformly blue stars. And it's not clear to me if Saturn is shadowing its rings).

fabulous scene!!

Excellent work. I

Excellent.

Very cool. Is Saturn rendered in Bryce or is it a NASA photo? I ask because I've had trouble with getting rings to cast or receive shadows (I'm using the texture that comes with Bryce 6.)

very impressive work.

great render

That's a really great looking Discovery-inspired ship. Crisp, clean, and functional looking. Great composition playing off the ring plane, too.

very beautiful image, and as always your modelling is amazing. i would always recommend putting models up for sale. While it has not been a path to untold riches, it has helped me with a modest few pennies that i wouldnt have normally had - as the saying goes "Nothing ventured..."

This is fabulous, one of your best yet -- and that's saying quite a lot. I absolutely am amazed every time I view one of your images. This one speaks to me. I think I feel a bit what it actually would be like to be out where there is complete clarity, no atmospheric obstructions and a single, unimpeded light source. Wow. Almost spiritual. :)
egehlin
Awesome!!! Your models are always impressive. I especially like this image for its sense of scale and distance. The little moons orbiting Saturn in the background are a great contrast to the astronauts "orbiting" the Cumberland. I'm adding this image to my favorites!!

Great picture - well done.

First I would like to thank everyone here for all the comments that have been made about this picture. Geirla, you made a statement about not being able to see the rings on Saturn, at the angle that this picture was render the light is hitting the ring plane almost head on so there is little shadowing from the rings. You can also see this by the shadow that is cast from the high-gain antenna on the Cumberland. AeroJett, you asked if Saturn was a picture from NASA. The planet is a matt that I found the web, I just cannot remember where. I then took the matt of Saturn into Photoshop and clean it up. This was applied to a sphere also the rings are from the Cassini website (http://ciclops.org/?js=1) which I took a slice of the ring and applied that to a flat circle in Bryce. What you see is the results. Both the Cumberland and Saturn were render at the same time. Thanks again for all the comments. All the best, David

That's a mighty fine render of a wonderful bit of modeling!
