...surfer.

ahem,  just kidding 'cause it seems that everybody was talking about
blurred metallic reflection lately. It is just my first experiment to fake
something_that_looks_a_little_like_motion_blur.
It does not look as I have expected and maybe I should have tried
something simple (like a sphere over checkered plane?) first.
But it's a long time since I was waiting for a chance to create an image
with the Silver Surfer.

Notes:
The stars are 100000 random placed and colored spheres.
Saturn is made with an image map and scattering media.
The ring system are some disks textured as described here:
http://www.mmedia.is/~bjj/data/saturn/rings.html

The Silver Surfer is a poser model from the 3D Comic Collective.
*blurring* was done by using multiple copies of the object with transmit
set to 0.98 and still with some specular highlight.

I think this faked motion blur could be improved and made much better
looking - but yesterday I started to play Morrowind so I guess you can
forget me for the next four weeks.

so long

Nice image, but... You do know this kind of motion blur is very unrealistic,
right?

anyway, I very much like the glowing eyes :)

Nice image, i have an idea about the modtion blur, could it look better 
when you decrease the transmit-value when you get nearer to the object? 
i never tried.. just an idea

I looked at this image once and didn't even realize there was a human
figure-- there's so little contrast.
Somehow in the comic books they always found lots of stuff for him to
reflect off of (high ambient finish) even in deep space.
Perhaps there's a way for you to do the same...  maybe have him facing the
planet or something.........

Yeh, did the surfer once as well. Had to really fill outer space up with stuff
(and used a nearby planet iirc), before you could see much.
