Mobilisation

[ADE]

great render......

[Hannes]

Thanks!!
Here is V2 with (hopefully) improved helmet shaders.

[Dune]

That's it. Great!

[Kadri]

Nice. The last one looks better indeed.

Hannes do you really need the 2 big ships on the sides (one on the left and one on the right)?
I would try at least a render with a smaller version of the two. The image looks kind of too busy.

[Hannes]

Maybe something to consider. I won't take them out completely, but I did a try with a reduced size 0f 70% and rendered a small test render.
What do you think?

[Dune]

Perhaps some smoke or dust between the soldiers may make it easier on the eyes....

[Hannes]

That sounds great!! What do you think about the size?

[Kadri]

It is subjective of course, but i like the last one more Hannes.

[Dune]

So do I.

[Hannes]

OK, thanks, guys. It's always good to have some other opinions, when you've been looking at the same image for hours.

[Hannes]

I added some dust. I like it. Here's a crop.

[j meyer]

Dust works fine.
The left ship was better in it's original position, imo at least.
Nice textures.

Klingon design is pretty popular throughout the universe apparently.

[Dune]

Could be a bit stronger dust, I think.

[Hannes]

Yes, cool!!! Thinking about three localised cloud layers under each ship.

Having tamed the specularity you've just the dust to finish of a perfect piece...Love this image.
