Description
The bigger, meaner cousin to the sparrow class corvette, the Sparrow Hawk class Attack Cruiser is almost a half mile longer than its more common cousin. Utilizing the basic Sparrow spaceframe design, with additional strengthening and reinforcement, the Sparrow Hawk is intended for pure combat. Capable of 30% more energy generation than the Sparrow, it also has a more powerful beam weapon system, additional speed and a stronger flow shield for defense. Let me know what you think. Designed, skinned, and rendered in C4. Texture maps done in PSP9, no postwork. I wish I could upload the full sized image. It loses a ton of detail when shrunk to an uploadable size. It was originally rendered at 1600*1280 at 300DPI. Be kind, this thing took over a week to render one frame on my little Athlon64 machine.

300dpi !!!! You take my breath away. That's one huge render...and usually reserved for files that are going to be printed. A CRT monitor can only display 72dpi. For posting on Renderosity, you can give your Athlon64 a much deserved break. With that said...nice picture.

LOL, I always print them out and frame them, which is why its done at 300DPI. Most of the time is because of the multiple light sources, reflections, refractions and transparencies. I think its worth the time and effort. Now if I can get my other machine's render node to hook up properly It might save me some time.

Thanks. I am going to try some different designs over the next few weeks, Some planetside Starport images, maybe a redo of some of my other ones in C4 to take advantage of the new toys.

You can't see it very well since I had to reduce it to 1280x1024 but theres a lot of structural details including view ports on the hull in the blue areas. I wish you could upload a bit more than the 512K, even at 1600x1280 you can see it a lot better.
