ah, yes, that would make sense. My brain got lazy a bit

@Okwa

oh nice but you didn't have to put that many, it's just to add this touch of completeness. But it's still nice, I like it

@Okwa

I live these much better Chris. But, I think you should still have a few big trees around, not many, so it doesn't look too deserted. What do you think?

wow, you almost fooled, I thought this was a picture of some place. I like the wall on the 1e but the shine makes it look metallic.

The layout is perfect, the trees, the structures, everything. Is this an actual reproduction of something that existed?

@Okwa

oh wow, this looks really cool

At first, I was wondering what these were, until I started reading.

Now you temp me to make Raylectron as a game engine too

@Okwa

oh yes, much better this way Chris.

@Okwa

WOAH

This is outstanding Chris. And the fog makes it even more.... how should I say.... Englandish?

That's so nice, I really like this model, well done Chris

@Okwa

ah, but they do look like closed doors But now I can see the bit of shadows at the top right of them and now I can see the proper perspective. Amazing how we can be so deceived, like, is it a 6 or a 9 kind of thing, depend on the view angle.

@Okwa

wow, this second one is really, really nice. Very peaceful, doors closed of the left, because it's quiet. The reflection on the water is not too busy either, it's nice. You did a super good job here Chris

@Okwa

Well, I don't think it's a WIP. Sometimes, simplicity is just as good and different. I really like it just like that Chris. It's really pleasant for the eye. Like, peace after the war. Well done

@Okwa

oh wow I really like this one big time, the fleet really stands out on the action. Well done Chris, I love both.

@Okwa

Thank you Chris.

@Okwa

Taylor beat me at it. I was going to reply exactly that. I've been off the net because wife fell on ice and broke her shoulder, so she can't do anything, so I do everything now, for another month.

@Okwa

I thought that Raylectron's stars had a bug, being on front of everything

Explosions indeed, but too perfect I think but still looks very cool

God's rays. Also on the first picture of this post here: https://softbytelabs.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=2252 :D
But it took some fiddling to achieve this result. Not only in Raylectron, but also in designing the “emitter” correctly in Sketchup. It has to be a disk that has a diameter, whose size ...

@Okwa

amazing, and how did you do the lasers??

@Support
Ah, I don't think so. It's just a fun little trick you can do every now and then, and one can always post it with the real picture afterwards. But a forum just for that? I'm not sure about that, to be honest.

In the meantime, I have tried to have various pictures made into videos ...

@Okwa

oh wow, really cool and amazing

Maybe we should start an AI forum that animates your renders? Not to replace the models though. What do you think?

Are you going to try it?

It's really cool but Chris, I found something you may like. I used KlingAI to animate your render. It's not exactly what I wanted but since the scene isn't rendered for that, it's still came out cool, what do you think?

oh wow, this is quite a story :o well done Chris :salute

The design is awesome, love it. The only thing I wish is if it had more "colors" as opposed to the same gray everywhere? Maybe some darker areas, some reflective areas too maybe? do I make sense? Because you have to reply of shadows to see ...

Help, now it's got me. I spent the whole afternoon trying and practising the post-processing. I couldn't stop. This is the result. Although I'm not sure if it's really better than the previous version.

I like the previous one Chris.

Ok, I was annoyed that the explosions didn't look the way I wanted. Fortunately, I found a video on YouTube with a post-processing method that I could use to achieve my desired result


Now, this one is even better and I like it better than the last one. Th explosions are nicer on this one. You ...

As a good friend used to say: "You can be stupid. You just have to know how to help yourself!"

I don't have to rebuild the space station at all. I still have the file from Raylectron with the scene. So, I only have to reset the textures of the space station in Raylectron. That improves a lot. And ...

This is awesome Chris, love it. But, why are the ships so dull and no God's ray on the engines? is it rendered in draft mode?

The story, just amazing Chris
