Hey guys
this is  a project i have been working on over the last week
the models i got from this site they are free!
http://www.colacola.se/map_1.htm
anyway added a specular layer to the fighters to give them a reflective look (makes them look more realistic)

all the atmo settings were set to max
AA set to 15
and rendered of 4 cores
took about 5 and a half hours to render would have took about 23 hours on one core so saved a heap of time

post work done in photoshop cs3 such as the motion blur the photo merge title etc

enjoy and tell me what you think!
i might have missed some stuff on the image so fell free to nitpick

Really love the lighting and the puffy clouds, also really like the terrain layout, pacific Islands to florida keys, not that I've ever been to the florida keys or have any idea of what they might look like other than the film true lies, anyhow..... maybe lowering the wind patch settings for the water shader would fix these bits.

yeah i like the atmo as well will post a tgc of it if you like

Yes please, I love the sunset, the clouds are positioned just right to give some god rays. One other thing, did you save this with lower quality jpg? the clouds seem very banded.

chars. I'll be uploading a few of my own soon enough. Must trawl through my projects, I've got a folder with at least 12 projects that I have no idea what they are.
