made in blender3d. I have the file as proof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rate plz?

pretty dam good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I dunno if you actually want CC, but if you do, I would say get rid of the bits flying off the rock thing in the middle, they don't really look like they serv a purpose...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

also, what is the top half of the pic, is it a large planet or what? cos if it is, it looks like its got 2 surfaces!? I think it would look better if it was just one solid surface, but its up to you...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

overall though, nice work :D

it looks like something done from an N64 game, the planet is way sharp upon where its cut, the glare ( light from center ) doesnt look like one, it looks like a lens flare filter put in the wrong way and the flying debris doesnt look real. like i said, it looks like a poorly designed video game scene.

axe, can you actually give useful CC, as in what is needed to improve it?

incase you havent noticed, that is whats needed to improve.

*sighs* they are the problems, not what you can actuall do about it... such as how do you make the lens flare look real or make the debris look more real?...

i cant tell him how to do his job, i could, but then it wouldnt exactly be his work now would it? you tell them whats wrong and let them find a way to fix it, thats the best way somebody could learn and not forget, sure i could show him how but why should i do that when he can figure it out on his own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

why am i writting a paragraph on this?

Why are there two shockwaves? Why are those shockwaves running perpendicular to the direction of the force of the explosion?

 

 

 

Why is there a bizarre sunburst deal under the text that seemingly leads from nowhere?

maybe the planet exploded twice :shock:

the shockwaves are big disks that go out from all sides of the circle. think of a donut with a dot in the middle of its hole. the dot is the planet/star/chunck of whatever, and the donut is the shockwave. I just thought it looked cooler with two of them lol, but Ill take one out. I assume u mean the trail when u say sunburst?? Its a trail of sparks or whatever from a chunck that went flying off

if u had read my post, I asked for a rating. But, thanks for the cc's anyways. Im still a noob at this. but now looking at it, i agree with most of what u say. Ill take the lense flare out. But the glare? Sorry thats the best i can do. I tried to do it better, but couldnt. Same with the flying debris. Also if i made it more detailed, the render time (which takes 5 mins already) could go up to ~15 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and the N64 part... i take that as a complement bbecuz ive had blender only 4 months. Granted i cant make something look 100% real yet, it shows me how well im doing =). thanks!

pretty dam good.

Yes i know the planet has two surfaces. The outer shell, which is breaking, and then the core of it, which is actually exploding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

im not sure what ur talking about in the top half of the pic. As far as i know i only put in one planet :lol:

I know what a shockwave is, I was curious as to why they're going the wrong direction..

uh.... they aren't. the camera is slightly underneath the planet. so the 2 shockwaves in the middle of the pic are going out, one behind the other. there is the trailing end of the second shockwave in the of the picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sense?? or did i not really get what u were asking??

I think this is what is ment:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Black color being what you did, red color being what seems to make more sense. :?:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pic looks nice, but a better quality of it like you see in other space scenes would be nicer.

i guess a picture really is worth a thousand words!!! thanks for clearing it up!

your best work yet xman :D :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*ahem* onto the actual render.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Axe's sugestions were good. Now, if you were good (do you have photoshop?) You could just render the main planets, and maybe a begining explosion, and brush details in photoshop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways, it doese remind me of a N64 game, not bad for a beginner.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

but a sugestion, but do take C&C in the future, even if it does seem like it is negative at times.

well post production in photo shop kinda ruins it. Its not 3d then! so yeah i kinda has to stay in the 3d program, i think. But that aint a bad idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes i meant i wanted c and c's, but also ratings. didnt mean to say no c and c's. sorry!
