Yeah. Nice!

Looking better every day Okwa!

That last fleet shot on the first page was excellent.

Very nice!

Thanks!

An update.I forgot to make sure the running lights were on. Oops.

Your fleet groups are looking really good!

The angle looks really good!

3 Cities mode 1 and Foggy 2 are very well done!

The 3 Cities and FJN Patrol II and II are your best yet.

Looking good!

That second render nails it. Composition and lighting are absolutely your best yet!

I can see a definite improvement in renders.

Well done.

Thanks!

The old render was done, IIRC, in version 4-something. I can definitely see a big difference in the lighting.

Thanks!

Re-rendered with new version.

Good example! Yes.

@Support Many thanks, Micheal. Also for the tip. @BKilburn What do you think could be improved in the image? I had to realize that I really have no idea how to stage a fly-by as a photo. Good question. Some of your ships are symmetrical, so one cannot tell which direction they are moving. Move them...

Very cool.

Eventually, we all be struggling as AI takes over, music, art, just about everything, eventually.

It will be a long time before AI is good enough.

@Alienizer @Mike Didn't fool me because I know Bryan otherwise, I would have.

However, this is Hollywood quality right there, super impressive Bryan, well done

Thanks as always, but it is also your continuing improvement to your program.

@BKilburn You must be working for Hollywood because I too got fooled thinking it was a clip from a movie :lol: perhaps to ask Support if Raylectron can do this. It's extremely impressive, to say the least. :salute Thanks! I wish somebody paid me for my work. But alas, I'm just another stuggling art...

Yeah, I had to wait for the ribs on rear main thruster to anti-alias. No complaints. I used to wait for hours for a good render. :D :D oh! that's what it does when we let it run longer? Thanks for the info, I didn't know that! It does for me. But then I have a lot details in my models, so there are...

I'll check it out this week.

Thanks again. I turned the contrast down just a hair in Post Processing. Added a touch of shiny to both brick and pavement. Increased the bump on the slate tile roofs. Slightly changed the scale of the pavement texture to smaller and also gave it more bump and then lightened the pavement color just ...
