OK...this model is not textured yet, nor is it 100% finished, but I thought I would throw it in a scene and see how it turned out.
The background is done with Lightwave and Photoshop. The starfield is Lightwave and the nebula was done in Photoshop and applied to a spherical plane in Lightwave...fun stuff.
