Anybody else submitting? So far it's what, 3 people?

Hmmm... do they need to be unique? I've upgraded the landing pics, and they look good, but they aren't unique. Should i submit them anyway?

No, they don't have to be unique. Did you make them?

(url="http://"http://www.dbzfaq.f2s.com")Here(/url) is my ship. It is my first attempt at using Strata 3D. Tell me what you think of it...

Looks good for a first try, the background looks really nice. On the whole, though, the textures look pretty spartan, and the whole ship has sort of a streched feeling to it. What are those things that go off to the side, where you rendered an aura effect? Are they guns?

Anyway, I can see you spent time on it and it looks good for a first try. It reminds me of the Voinian Dreadnought. Cool.

So, ah, who won? Or when's the judging?

------------------

Or...

When's the deadline? I need a bit of time to re-work a pic in bryce...(make something)

Is there a limit for entries in each catergory, and can I enter something in all catergories, aside from beginners? (I've got some 2d stuff, 3d stuff, and some landscapes to show off...maybe =))

PEACE YO!™

You can only post 2 images.

Now everyone stop asking questions and start posting images!

Was it that bad? I tried smearing Right Guard on the Monitor, but I guess it didn't work. 😄 Maybe I should switch to Old Spice...

Actually I don't think it looks that bad, although it could us some work. Here are 4 things you might want to try:
1: Give the windshield thing (the blue thing) a highlight (the little light dot that appears on shiny things) so it looks more like glass
2: Make the Jilon cannons a little more complicated (up to you, but I think it would look good)
3: Copy the engine glow effect and move it to all three pods? or just the outside ones? Just a thought, might not look good, but it might be worth a try
4: Bump maps! Head over to the (url="http://"http://meowx.com/texturevault/")Texture Vault(/url) to learn more about texture and bump maps

Two things that you really should do are (1) render it with anti-aliasing on (I use a medium setting, but you have to ajust from program to program) and (2) get a better starfield, (url="http://"http://www.flamingpear.com/glitterato.html")Glittero(/url) is awsome for making starfields, you can also do it with photoshop by using the dissolve nosel on the air brush with 1% pressure, going over the pic evenly, then blurring it, then going over it again, then blurring it again, and there you have a starfield. It doesn't make the best starfields, but it works.

It would help for me to know when the competition closes because I am working on a rather large ship at the moment but it wont be ready for about 2 weeks.

I didn't enter in the beginners' category, smart guy.

Who won the 2D category? Who was the other winner in the space category?
