Ship on Platform

Once I created the ship in blender, I thought I would add a platform for it to be launching from. I also created a rough moon plane so the platform could sit somewhere.

Once I built the platform I decided the ship no longer looked the right shape so I played around adjusting the scale hight.

These are a few renders I made playing with different lighting. Moving different lamps around.

Once I was happy with some of the renders, I exported them into partial illusion and rendered some different blasts.

I overlayed these renders from partial illusion in paint shop pro and played around with the layers and opacity. I then brushed over the lighting on the rocks with a pink colour from the fire, and set the layer to pick out only the hue.
