This planet is defended
Working with Folkrm's amazing Galactica. WIP as I'm still thinking about the final backdrop and other elements of the final image.

Re: This planet is defended
THAT is too cool! Well done!
I bet your computer was sweating chips after all that.

Re: This planet is defended
?!? Why did your render take 5 hours? Something like that should have taken about 8-12 minutes at HD (1920x1200) resolution at 33 passes using the LW native renderer. The background image could be added later as a composite in photoshop, or add the image file as a backdrop during the render. Maybe you mean your total project time was 5 hours?

My computer is very old (5 years) and I'm running LW9 with a lot of radiosity for lighting the scene. I'm not kidding about how hot the computer got. Background plate was added in Photoshop with the additional post effects.

Re: This planet is defended
Nice image.
What are your radiosity settings? It should not take that long....

Re: This planet is defended
The radiosity settings weren't too high but the computer is very old and slow. Dual core and 3GB and running Windows XP (32 bit). I haven't updated the computer because I don't have the money to replace the software. The computers primary purpose is for editing and it runs fine for that so I have to live with long render times for Lightwave.

Re: This planet is defended
Very nice job; especially on the perspective and unique underside view from behind.
