The motion blur looks pretty cool, but the sky looks unrealistic. I
don't understand if you were trying to render a moonlit scene or a
sunlit scene. The yellow in the sky, and on the horizon looks out of
place entirely. Sunlight and moonlight don't look so yellow, unless
the orb in question is near the horizon, and shining obliquely through
the thicker layer of atmosphere.
The land on the horizon is so nearly flat, but not quite, and in such
deep shadow, that the water appears to be "bent" near the horizon. I
first thought this was a scene over an ocean, until I cranked up my
gamma to reveal the land on the horizon. If you want to keep the land
on the horizon, you might want to make the terrain a bit more uneven
to make it more obvious that we are looking at land and not water on
the horizon.
Speaking of gamma, was this done on a PC, MAC, or what? I'm not sure
I'm viewing this at the brightness you intended.
My last suggestion is to use a better JPEG compression setting. Your
file is about 333K in size, but I was able to resave it using LViewPro
and the file size shrank to a measley 57K. Any difference in quality
is unnoticeable, but the download time would certainly have been much
shorter.
Keep working on this, don't let me discourage you. I like the plane,
but experiment with the sky some, and next time *please* compress the
JPEG a bit more.
Later,
Glen Berry

Yep! Much better :~)

System is faster today. Looks pretty cool.

Coming along very nicely, the motion blur on the prop is great.
Either it's a bit dark or it could do with some area lights to make
the land that incy bit more noticable.

I just tried gamma correction and now think I see what you're
seeing. The land is visible now and the plane looks a bit too
bright, like you say the light is going to be real tricky to
controle here.

Cool! I really like it. If you could use a paint program (Paint shop Pro
Etc.) and paint the whole tail end Red, take out the blue in the front,
and make the guy inside Black, then it could be one of the Tuskkee(?)
Airmen!

Nice air plane!
I have dreamt about modelling an air plane for some time now.
But I have not started yet, because I'm not sure if I am able to
model all the curved surfaces that has to be smoothed together.
E.g.:
I find it difficult to model the areas where the wings meets the
body of the plane.
I think I could use blobs though...
(but I like better the challenge of doing it with CSG :)

Where on the plane are your problem areas ?
... And did you use blobs?

Tuskeegee. :) (I think)
Yeah, you could use this model with nearly any markings, but PSP? That's not
why I use Pov ;)
This one carries the markings of the aircraft in the new online game "Aces
High" (tm HiTech Creations). I'm using it to make a multimedia handbook in
order to teach ACM, BFM, and squadron tactics. I have a long way to go,
though.

No, I modelled this in Truespace, a sin as far as true Pov'ers go. The
problem areas are nearly invisible in this image, but you can see some of it
near the canopy edges where it meets with the frame. The canopy frame has a
few errant triangles, and the side of the fuselage (near the radiator bath)
is not quite along the lines of the original aircraft. Modelling, even with
a great modeler, can be frustrating.

Tuskegee, about 30 miles east of the state capitol Montgomery, Alabama.
Since I haven't commented on this one yet I may as well do so now.
I like that sunshine, the sky however (not the clouds) just seems way too dark
as though seen from a high altitude. So high up in fact I'd not expect to see such
clouds.
However, if you were to envision this vantage point as being from within some sort
of tinted canopy then maybe the scene as a whole could be explained.
Well, anyhow, I guess like the others I too think it's the things other than the plane
which need some more changes.
