I'm just working on my 3D Viper MK II. Two months ago I rendered a simple shot with Autodesk Maya: I wanna publish my test to compare it to future results:
For this test, I used particles to realised two nebulas, pure gases, the stars and the engine flames. No sound at this moment. I rendered a bunch of passes composited in Eyeon Fusion. Once my modeling work will done, I'll render a complete animation of a fight between Viper and Cylon Raider (already finished).
Best regards.
