I went round and round with this image, starting out with my Haru Asano character front and center and the rest of the crew hanging as silhouettes in back by the ship's entryway. But after many long renders I was less than pleased each time, and from the artificial lighting it made him look cartoonish. Plus, what made him so special to be in the limelight? So I put his helmet back on and brought them all out for a place in the shot. I hope you will like this version. Haru is actually still there in the center, but who can tell? lol

This is from the same story in the works, dealing with a mission to the ruined planet Demeter to finish a very significant project involving the Corridor. I decided to name it 'Threshold' because that word came to mind as I was creating the scene. The crew will be stepping across a boundary that probably should not be crossed. And here they are prepping for the mission, standing on the first of many dangerous (and deadly!) thresholds.

The ship is the Orbital Nation's Colossus Class "Anura" crafted in Hexagon by my genius friend , as well as the orbital stations (mix of Hex objects and city ecosystems combined in Vue).

The planet and rings were created in Vue.

M4 models using Xurge AIU Viper suits posed in Poser. (Note to Bjorn: yes, one's a woman, so I will fix later - she only had a standard dude suit to jump into at the last minute - lol)

Rendered in Vue. Postwork for color correction and smoke effects were done in Photoshop.
