Really like the lighting. So many people make great space scenes and spoil it with over lighting the subject.

Nice job! Icarus must be considerably far away and early on its voyage for the sun to be over eclipsed like it is here.

Thank you - well the ship was in deep shadow for the majority of its mission - this is of course a test render and I did not make the sun 'show' for this

Could you possibly make it bigger? Can't give you a fair comment unless I could see it.

No I don't do full size on DA, learned that a long time ago - waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many thieves here, and watermarking it just makes it uglier then sin

Oh. Deviantart give you the option to put it a watermark on it.

That is why in the previous comment I stated 'and watermarking it just makes it uglier then sin'
Just went round and round with yet ANOTHER art thief yesterday right here on DA >.> I only post full size to professional CG sites

Hmm...btw I think they got the name Icarus 2 from the movie Planet of the Apes (1968 version). I think that's the shuttle they were sleeping on.

No more than likely it is because of the flight to the sun

True but I found that interesting.

True as well, though I think the name has more meaning in Sunshine than it did in a movie about intelligent monkey's

lol yea, since we saw it then it sank.

Yeah, but remember they dredged it back up and Cornelius and Zira flew it back into the past and started the whole schmeale over

yea I know right?
Hey do you know any good scifi meshes sites? I can't find myself a copy of the Star Trek 11 shuttle craft.

You can try out scifi-meshes.com or scifi3D.com for models, though I have yet to see any of the new shuttles yet.

Yea tried those already. Nothing. Tried even Google. Nothing.

Well you might be able to find the blueprints on LCARS and build it

but I want mine to be authentic, not look like crap lol lol lol

You can do it, in fact a shuttlecraft - especially the one from the movie is a good model to start with, it is basically an altered square with insets and extrusions here and there. If I get time when Icarus is done and my animations for my client are done (for now) I will model one real quick

It's probably better if you do it...I don't really have any knowledge on extrusions and insets.... then again there's not much I know about 3DS MAX yet.

Ahhh yes, the complexities of Max
