    @drachenlords:
    1. exploding moon -- a good composition, nice colors, strikig clouds. I'm thinking that ship hasn't long to live!
    2. ships over a city -- again, nice coloration, great atmospheric effect

    @bigh: swamp -- The tree definitely has an alien feel about it, and the fog is well done.

    @adbc: android -- interesting scene with lots of complexity from the glass.

    @fishtales: I like the graphic novel feel in your entries.

    @tim bateman:
    1. Discovery of a new world -- beautiful vista
    2. abandoned cloud city- nice work with the clouds

    @horo: Moon landers return - terrific render. I recollect watching a tutorial about that interior lighting technique: it's not easy to pull off.

    "Astounding Science Fiction"

    My first and perhaps only entry is a take on the naive art of the 1930's and 1940's, an interpretation of a zine cover of the era. They just don't make rocket ships like that any more...

    It contains a crew of D-Bots and the Nubian Complex by Herminio Nieves, from ShareCG. I exported the terrain from Mojoworld and the sky things from NASA. All the text is lattices, and the ship is a Bryce construction.

    Wow.... so beautiful artwork here. This becames a hard job for the Judges.


    So, enough changes for me now. I don't know how often I've changed the Mat's, the perspective and, of course, the light.
    More changes my nerves do not accept, I think.... :-(

    This is my first entry:

    Podrace.

    Here's my preliminary render. I have a few ideas for changes/additions, not yet sure which if any I will follow through on. Let me know if you see any problems I'm overlooking.

    @yellow Pen - great landscape and great idea.

    @Sean Riesch - those robot flies are fearsome and the insect beast the lady rides on no less.

    This time I'm a bit (much) behind with my comments. All of anyone's art work is different and original.
    I'll try though.
    @Tim Bateman : love the icy terrain on your first entry, great clouds on the 2nd one, the 3rd one says it all.
    @The Savage : you WIP looks great already.
    @drachenlords : your 3rd entry is just as nice as the other 2.
    @mtnmen, @ hansmar : thanks for your comment.
    @asterlil : thanks for your comment. DBots : very well done
    @Horo : What can I say : your 3 renders are absolutely top.
    @Yellow pen : Your terrain has a very nice texture, like the atmosphere.
    @Sean Riesch : a great idea.
    Hope I did not forget anyone.

    No problem... and sorry for the misunderstanding on my side.

    @Horo: Moon lander looks very good. And 'living on a moonlet' could be the cover of a Nebula winning book. Third one is also wonderful.

    @asterlil: great recreation of old future art!

    @Tim Bateman: Not so sure I would have put the 'man' and 'planet' behind each other. It makes me loose my focal point a little. Otherwise great work.

    @yellow Pen: Fantastic pod race. I like the little colour to the right and the arrow, of course.

    @Sean Riesch: I think it is going to be a great work. You might want to work on the texture of the terrain.

    @adbc: you are welcome.

    Here is my (first?) entry: Accelerating

    People are from DAZ and Poser, I made the robot myself in Hexagon (used it before). The console to the right came with a Bryce set and the console to the left I made in Bryce and used a 'rain meter' screen as texture.
    The deck of the space ship form and lamp was made in Hexagon and the warp sign in Bryce.
    The warping space was made in Bryce, with procedural textures and a lot of lights. I never used more lights in one scene than in this one. It probably could have been done with less, but I did not want to spend the time trying out different settings.
    I did a little bit of postwork by increasing the contrast somewhat.

    Hope you like it.

    @horo Moon Landers Return... Great image ..love the angle/view,
    Living on a Moonlet is a very nice image as is OrbimalsII... Great perspectives
    @asterlil... I LOVE the zine cover... very cool and very representative of the style of those pulps...
    @timbateman...FinalStand is Verry Nice..
    @yellowpen... Pod Race is very cool...
    @sean reisch... Fun image...I think I'd like to see more clearly some detils of that beast she is riding... Perhaps some localized lighting... maybe?
    @hansmar... Take us to Warp 10...fun

    @mtnmen: Wonderful work! I think the texture on the freak is a bit too smooth, and therefore plasticy, maybe you can add some bump somehow?

  • mtnmenmtnmen Posts: 444
    edited December 1969

    @hansmar...
    Thank you for the observation and great suggestion... I took your advice and added some bump to Freak... I think it is an improvement..

    So THIS is my first entry...

    All the entries are great

    The spaceships are freebies. I used David’s Deep Space Nebula tutorial downloaded from Horo’s site to make the Hdri and used it as a backdrop.

    My first: Invasion

    @adbc - thank you.

    @hansmar - thank you. Your warp scene looks great, nice copper robot.

    @mtnmen - thank you. It's Alive! is a great render. Great sparks, also the models look great.

    @mermaid010 very nice space scene.

    @mermaid010: Great entry! I like all those colours.

    @Horo: Thanks. Made the robot myself (times ago) in Hexagon. I started redoing it later to make it more suitable for rigging, but somehow dropped that project.

    By the way. Remarkable limited number of entries so far. Sci-fi too difficult or just too normal?

    Hard at work here. Also balancing creative play with a bit of real-life weirdness. Watch this space. ;-)
