This is something I've been playing with for the last couple of weeks.
The X wing and Y Wingcomes from the Starwars POV archive
and the TIE from the Starwars modelling alliance ('fraid I don't have
urls for either)

The sun is actually a Chris Colefax lensflare, as is the proton torpedo.

The laser blasts were done using similar code to that of the
light sabres of a month or so ago. This is my second play with media
and I would appreciate comments on how to improve the explosion
bottom right.


Media code

sphere {
  <0,0,0>,2
  pigment {rgbt 1}
  no_shadow
  hollow
  interior{
   media{
    emission 3
    //scattering{1,.01}
    intervals 40
    samples 5, 20
    confidence 0.999
    variance 1/100
    density {
     spherical
     cubic_wave
     turbulence 0.75
     lambda 3
     color_map{
      [ 0 rgb 0]
      [ 0.5 rgbf <1.0,0,0,0.8>*0.5]
      [ 1.0 rgbf <1.0,0.5,0,0.4>*0.5]
     }
    }
   }
  }
  scale 5
  translate <15,-13,6>
 }

Thanks
Gail

See what you think of these changes. You should try putting those laser
blasts out away from the spacecrafts firing them. They appear static where
they are, seemingly stuck to the ends of the laser cannons(correct term?).


//BEGIN
sphere {
  <0,0,0>,2
  pigment {rgbt 1}
  //no_shadow
  hollow
  interior{
   media{
    absorption <1.25,1,.25>
    emission <2,1.75,1.25>
    //scattering{1,.01}
    intervals 30
    samples 5, 20
    confidence 0.9

Theese look good, although the cargo frighters need a different texture And I
can't say I relate to the burning tie... doesn't feel that good.
Electrical(blue) sparks on the other hand...

Really like this image.

One thing that I would mention is the photon torpedo, I wouldn't
have known what it was if you hadn't told me, as it just looks
like a very active star or something, if you had a few of them in
a row and getting smaller/larger, as they get further from the
source, then it would be obvious that they are photon torpedos.

Really like the sun, I've got chriss' include but havn't played
with it yet.

Cheers
Steve

Photon Torpedo?...aren't those Star Trek???
If they are in Star Wars I don't remember where.

Me either. All I remember were the lightsabers and laser guns.

They had Photon Torpedo like Weapons, the ones  Luke used when destroying
the death Star in the First Movie ( from the old ones ) and they also
used them in the third part against the Death Star, both the X-Wing and the
Falcon used them, and they look like a drop and are Light Blue, with a
Yellow touch.

and by the way the Lasers look excellent, but if you wan't to make an
Animation ( i hope you will do one ) try to use triangles with gradient
textures,
and cross them with 90 degree angle, the render extremly fast, and you can
normaly not see any difference, espacialy in an animation.

Gail Shaw was right in the first place...it's proton, not photon
torpedo. It's mentioned in the scene where the rebels are briefed
before attacking the Deathstar in A New Hope. Also, although the
movie doesn't say, I'd guess that proton torpedoes are what's being
dropped on the asteroid in The Empire Strikes Back to fish out the 
Millenium Falcon.

So it's: pRoton for Star Wars
and:     pHoton for Star Trek

Aah the important things in life! ;-)

Within the scene it doesn't matter what they are called, but I think Lucas
envisioned Proton Torpedoes, which were supposed to have destroyed the Death
Star. Remember? Luke fired them down the ventilation shaft? heh
