Nothing much to write about here, just some basic scene framing while I work on improving my action shots. I was also inspired by the classic Halo level The Silent Cartographer. I wanted to add flak effects and a Cormorant in the far rear, but the sheer complexity of the models and the number of parts I use in them means that this was extremely difficult to the point that I just decided not to bother. What I have to do when rendering backgrounds is that I have to take a screenshot in Space Engine that fits whatever scene I'm trying to build, and then I have to compose the scene in DOGA L3 as best as I can without being able to look at the background until I render the image.

One day when I have more time, I plan on trying to learn Photoshop. But until then, I just have to do my best to make these look good. Hope you enjoy.
