Description
Chopped off her nose and slammed her onto the display stand with some propellant.

Yeah, okay, so this is obviously meant to be SN8 during the initial testing stages, before they attached the nosecone. I wanted to do a static fire with this before I actually animated the flight to get an idea of what needed to change with the Raptors, but I think I'll actually be able to bypass that, now. Sidenote, the animation, (if I can get the software to work reliably), will also be rendered in Blender 4.0! Which will make this my first animation stepping outside of my comfort zone in 2.79, but I need the new nodes for the engine effects.

I will be fully honest, this wasn't meant to go public. Ever. I actually have about fifteen renders of this thing on my laptop, probably more, that I never posted here, as they were just tests. But since this looked good, shows the new HDRI, and also shows the progress I've made on Boca Chica, I figured I'd share it here. Oh, and it's 4k, so it matches the others anyway. This camera did move, that's just because of the wall I put up, I may try to move it back. I also think I have Starship rotated wrong, but I could be mistaken. I'll try to find some reference images to confirm.

Anyway, this is just a test, so nothing (new) is necessarily permanent. The ice especially, I want to make it look more like ice, that'll likely just be a texture applied to it to make it look more broken, and possibly a particle system for the condensation.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. Hope you like this render!
