Thanks Tom, it's all I hoped and more! Though if I'd known we could do multi images for our finals I would have done my original idea of a few pages of a graphic novel with the Grubb battle in progress, I had a lot of fun though and learnt more so I'm very happy!

Thanks Arran!
I'm glad you think I pulled off the space battle look, the explosions were made using fluids, and a little tweaking in photoshop, layering one over the other to get a bit of diffence etc.
Ended up with so many render layers! I'd only just learnt how to use them so happy it worked, and so many photoshop layers! I think it went over 60 in all, never done so much tweaking! lol!
