Description
Well. A new rig, and an old problem. It seems that upgrading from Vista to Win 7 wasn't as smooth as Mickeysloth said it would be. I lost 2 hardd drives worth of irreplaceable data. I know, I know... Always back up.. The problem is when you are on a budget, and have 5TB or more of data to back up, it's just not financially possible..
Losing the drives meant having to rebuild about half of my models from scratch. This is a brand new model of the venerable Sparrowhawk class Attack Cruiser. It's done on my new Phenom IIx4 955 system under Carrara 7 Pro and Windows 7. I hope you like it. I have made several improvements and added a lot more detail. Starfield done in PSP X!! using the Alien Skin Xenofex II Constellation plug in and about a dozen layers. Nebula created in PSP XII and also required about a dozen layers. The original for this is 1920x1080, however, thanks to the very small file size limit here, I had to reduce it to 1280x720 at 100DPI. I wish Renderosity would raise that limit. It really makes it hard to show any great detail.

Magnificent spaceship image! I'm still trying to decide wether to upgrade this system, or just build a new one based on the Phenom chip with W7. This computer doesn't get along with Poser, never mind something like Carrara. This must be stunning at full size! Happy Holidays!

Really a "mistery ship". Great mecha design!

Thanks for the input. This is a remodel of a few previous renders. It is actually the sixth reiteration I have had to do thanks to bad files and hard drive crashes. It is stunning at 1920x1080 at 300DPI. You can see every little detail. I really wish Renderosity would change the file size limit to something more in keeping with modern 3D art files. 512K is tiny by today's standards.

Intriguing render for sure!

That sucks that you lost all your stuff. I love the sky here, so beautiful. Nice model!

I'm thinking of doing a combat scene with this and a couple of other models I have done. My old rig couldn't handle it but I think this one can. I really hope they come out with a 64bit version of Carrara soon... But with Daz, I am not holding my breath.
