...but love the traitor? This render was inspired by the Star Wars Rogue Squadron book Solo Command. It's another oldie; I made the scene in Animation:Master awhile back, and the X-wing model was from the same site as the Enterprise model. This went through several revisions; different blaster colors, changing the motion blur amount. There was a version with words ("Hate the Treason/But Love the Traitor"), but I never really felt satisfied with it.
In case the site ever comes back up, here's the URL: [link]
Wow. I like this. I like the diff between the normal red plasma and the orange plasma in your picture. Yeah. A welcome flare to an otherwise b&w pic. Nice job.
"Animation: Master". It's not exactly a mainstream 3D application, but it was a whole lot cheaper at the time. Mostly it's meant for character animation.
