Thanks Lon. 
thanks ron m. I love a little green though…
Hey, look Mahlikus the green. That’s hilarious ron m.
Ron: Nice space scene. I like the worm hole effect.
Here is my spacecraft WIP, a WIP assuming I ever finish it. 
The background is from a Hubble photo, the spacecraft itself more accurately represents my texturing ability, which is what I currently desire to improve in Z. Lets just say they recently left the Romulan fly through space-wash!

Oops, reread the first post, and maybe the actual real (visible spectrum adjusted) NASA background is illegal. 
Breakin’ the law, breaking the law! 
Anyway here’s the zsphere model sans fancy background:
I love doing space stuff… And I have a ton of ships and space buildings already made in Wings… But I didn’t cheat. I did the little ship in this pic, using zspheres. I do have to get into the habit of saving my steps though as once again I only saved the finished ship as a tool. The rest is done as a painting.
Hope y’all like it! :rolleyes:

Greetings,
Well if you are going to be in outer space, it’s always handy to have a ‘raygun’ to back off nasty aliens. 
Hey Guys, been awhile since I used Z2. Thanks to MTB for getting the MNC’s going again. Anyways here’s my entry.

I created the back ground by filling the layer with the flat shader set to black. I then painted the stars, nebula, glows etc. with the highlighter II brush. Planet is sphere primitive with a standard ZB texture, and bump brush over painting. Asteroids are sub-D spheres sculpted, and bump brushed. Lights were set to radial, and highlights on asteroids were painted with the shader enhancing brush. Best rendering was not used. I do have another version of the image, but with different lighting, and cavity shaders for the rocks. 121 welcome.
Hi Sir of Quadalot
Absolutly beautiful

Thanks Frenchy Pilou. 
:eek: sirquadalot, that image is amazing!! please post the varients also.
Thanks Game Master 770.
Here’s the version with the cavity shading. It’s not finished, but this is about the point where I decided to change the lighting and over all mood to the piece. In looking back and comparing the two images, I think I made a good choice.

I Suppose that is the 2001 monolith 
Brian, that first image is exquisite. The lighting and composition are sooo well done.
I look forward to seeing more of your work…: )
Dickie
Hey FP, I love the dusty quality.
Thank’s Dickie, I hope to find more time to work with Z2 in the near future.
SirQ love both versions…reminds me of the opening sequence for some reason from the Star Trek series Voyager…can almost hear the opening theme music playing as I view your work here.
Donna great to see you back as well and hard at work. Love you entry also. Ya gotta flex those z muscles more often around here stranger
Heya, sirQ, the first version is G_R_E_A_T
Thanks Ron, funny while I was painting the dust trails, I was thinking the same thing about the opening shot in Voyager. I could have sworn I heard the music. 
Thanks Abyssis for the kind words.
Thank you Ron for the compliment
As for flexing my Zmuscles more around here, I would love to if only my day job wasn’t interfearing :mad:
Gotta find me a rich husband so I don’t have to work and I can play with my programs more often. Then again naw, I would only have to spend too much time with him. Oh well… :rolleyes:
Well Sir Q If I didn’t know better I would say you went to where ever that is and took a photograph and posted it here… beauty mate
Northstarr good to see your wonderful work,art the final frontier 
A man? why you should have grown out of those things many moons ago, however a person who happens to be a male…that’s another story…
Thank’s Ed.
