Space

[kanduvisla]

I wanted to experiment with creating space scenes in 3dsmax. Now I am going to model a spaceship.

Any suggestions on the space environment? Perhaps the stars? Or the lighting? Or the textures? Any suggestions are welcome. I am not such an experienced 3d modeler.

yea - here's a sugestion
either follow the Creating the planet tutorial or do it in Photoshop ( google it, i found it and made it)
your planet and lightning is,...well...terrible ;)
do the scene in photoshop,import that in Max,do a planet with textures in Max,build a detailed ship in Max, then import that in Photoshop and add some effects if you don't know how to render
but if you don't have photoshop...hmmm...ignore this post

Thanks for the help. I appreciate your honesty :-P

I'm currently following a tutorial. I like the result so far (see attachment). Any suggestions (except offcourse for lighting and environment).

lower your atmosphere glow a little...

atmosphere looks funky and not realistic

tell me this : have you the atmosphere and its glow in 3ds or photoshop?
i might be able to help you with photoshop part :)

So far I created everything except for the starry background in 3dsmax.
