Mag Arena
Been popping in and out of a Mag Arena model, messing around, with the idea of a night, or darkside rendering. Still have a ways to go.

Re: Mag Arena
Here's an update. It was a frustrating exercise, because I just upgraded to Indigo Renderer latest version, they changed the GUI. Just about had to relearn the program.

Re: Mag Arena
still about this pic i think i would consider just toning the blue middle a little darker and perhaps shade some white on the floors since it looks good in yellow, but i do hate when those ships have red lights under it just looks wierd.

Re: Mag Arena
Once again. . . that was me taking a SU model and basically learning Indigo 2.6.1, which was a big jump for me, the entire GUI had been revamped.
It was like trying to cook a Christmas dinner and finding you're not cooking it in your kitchen, but a kitchen you've never been in before. I was tired of screwing around with it by the time it got to what you're seeing. Remember, every full scene lighting check is basically a burn of about 8 minutes at a minimum. Let's not even count all the ~5 minute burns to do a quick check of an illumination layer.
Oh yea, BTW. . . Merry Christmas!
