Description

"June 16th, 2358: Went out tonight and got another photo of the Beacon. I had to walk halfway around the lake to get a shot with the moon Vendakal in the background, but I like the way it looked. I know it's irrational, but this beacon thing creeps me out. The rest of the crew insist that there have been no changes detected, but I could swear that it's gotten brighter, more intense, since our arrival. I overheard Dr. Hansel talking about how something had been "unlocked" but nobody will tell us any more. Captain Jenkins of course gives us the same jatcrap about military jurisdiction. That makes me so angry. I mean, we're supposed to be working on this together, right?" The previous transcript is the final entry in the journal of Jessica Simmons, Biology Officer on the I.T.C. Valiant. Two weeks later, a rescue shuttle landed on Umilith near the base camp of the Valiant. Although the ship was intact with full operability, none of the crew were ever located.

Great image. That's one bad ass laser beam. I hope the story is going to continue. The beam should have some sonic energy going out too. Everybody should be warned.

Beautiful image, excellent postwork... The detail on the moon is stunning!!! I am curious wether you rendered the model in MojoWorld or in Maya.. I'm interested because of the greenish/black specs on the lower portion of the craft..I'm not sure if they are supposed to be there, or if it was rendered in MJW and it's an artifact.. I can't say enough about how much I like this image..

Hiya pushinfaders, the model was rendered in MojoWorld, but the green/black specs are my fault in post, not the fault of MojoWorld. I'm going to rework that base as well as cut back a little on the starfield as ACHPostma mentioned. This was my first attempt at a MojoWorld image, wanted to thank you and the others in the forum for answering all my questions. What a cool program!

Made a couple of modifications: used a different starfield that wasn't so heavy and had more variation, and fixed the black specks on the beacon base. Also increased the red light a bit for more reflections. Thanks for the feedback!

This picture tells a story, CG. And your prose adds to it. Great work!!! As I keep saying, we at Pandromeda are looking forward to seeing more...population of MojoWorlds with interesting objects, colonies and narratives. You're a true pioneer of Parametric Hyperspace. :-)
