I think the rings and the surface of Saturn look very realistic, and I just wonder where you got those textures from, since I can't find any. Maybe you could make the rings a little bit less transparent, then it would be perfect.

Love your background, how about a render of just the space sceen, it would be a great space background. ship is a bit too busy for my tastes but is still interesting

To Matrus. The Saturn texture is Saturn, and the ring transparency is generated from raw data available at www.mmedia.is/~bjj/data/saturn/rings.html. You will need to process the data outside of Vue to get the disc. Put a note on the forum if you want more details (some details already there). Similarly the galaxy is a galaxy photo and alpha map (just made by producing a negtive of the galaxy).

Eeek -- the planets are going to crash into each other!!! (gravity) LOL. Actually the transparency looks right to me from NASA images of Saturn. Did you use a "fisheye" lens when you rendered to get the curving effect for the spaceship?

To Sundogdeb, no fisheye, 35 mm. the curve is a csg of two elongated spheres.
