Description

This image was created for the CGSociety's NVArt "Design Fusion" competition. Entrants were to make an image that combines 2D and 3D elements. For this image, I modelled the small ships in Wings 3D, did the UV mapping in Roadkill, detailed and textured them in ZBrush 3.1, and rendered them with Maya 7 and mental ray. The background planets were also rendered in Maya with textures created in Photoshop CS and DarkTree Textures 2.51. The contrails (yes, I know that spaceships wouldn't leave contrails, but it's science-fiction) and the nebula were painted in Photoshop. I did a lot of other post-render tweaking in Photoshop as well.

Great image, though in your gallery just one of many.

I don't see that you'd have to call the plumes behind the spaceships "contrails" -- couldn't it just be exhaust (gas, plasma, whatever)? I don't intend to correct you, but rather to suggest that you don't have to make any excuses at all.
