Yeah, you're right. In the trailer, the shot that shows the engine being shot out is really bad. I actually re-rendered that shot but the one in the trailer is the original one..

There are a lot of space shots and most of them turned out pretty good..... It was a learning experience. One of the things I did that I should not have done is make the main ship reflective. The director asked for a smooth and shiney surface. Like a commercial airliner. I couldn't figure out why I could never get it to look quite right in the renders... After all the work was done and everything was rendered as well as I could, it dawned on me that I made the ships reflective but I didn't give them anything to reflect! :headbang: The star field was accomplished with particles and the only other objects in the scene were occasionally other spaceships.... Next time I'll do better.
