More or less done: Click on the attachment above to see the pic inspired by Joachim's idea.

It's a bit large though; 1.09 mbs.

Very fine artwork!

Idea: Big Dreadnought emerging from a WP and being ripped apart by the Starbase sitting on top of the Warp Point.
Out of curiosity, how hard/easy is it to come up with new materials in DoGA? I've been working in Bryce 4, which is pretty good at coming up with the basic shapes for things, but creating textures to use in it is a serious pain.

By materials, I assume you mean textures? Basic colour and and model properties are easy to set in doga; although somewhat limited, you can mostly get what you want easily. Textures themselves though, are compared to other 3d apps, are extremely limited; there is no mapping; and there is almost no control over how the texture will be seen on the model.

The textures I used for that picture posted a while ago were actually taken (read: stolen ) from the net and games, and edited with photoshop 6.

3) A spacedrop. Ground troops dropping from orbit, hundreds of tiny contrails as the outer ablative shielding begins to burn off...read the relevant sections of Starship Troopers for inspiration. Umm, I mean the book. I have no idea about the movie, I never saw it.

I would just like to say that making contrails in doga is a pain in the behind; It never looks right, and it never comes out well.

Nevertheless, I think I managed to somewhat respectably do this scene, with contrails to boot.

Just one thing missing from that picture...
A large-font caption along the lines of "Join the Planetary Militia!"

[Atrocities]

A huge space battle scene with hundreds of ships. Or a ship crashing into an ocean. If you could do a ship burning up like the Enterprise did in STIII that would be cool too.

Like that one, too.

Very nice, TerranC!

Very nice indeed. I love the perspective, the burning azure sky, the scintillating highlights...oh well done, sir! Well done indeed!

Caption should read-

"The Space Marines are looking for a few good men"
