i rendered a print quality image (4096 by 2304 11hrs 19mins 35secs) of
this after changing the textures some more.  posted are the whole image
and a closeup.  you should see the printout i made.  magazine quality. 
it's a bmp over 27MB in size.  i was looking at older pics of my xwing
and got a real laugh at my first textures.  they were soooooooo bad!! 
thanks for not saying bad things when i posted pics of that.  to see
what i mean go back to 6/4/2000 under the post update to moray xwing. 
it's a response to the original message.

This looks excellent.  What was it printed on? and what size paper?

Wow, nearly perfect!

The lighting, the xwing's thrusters, the planet atmosphere...

Just the clouds could have a little more structure in the white part. In the
bright sun, they look ok, but on the left in the shadow, they seem a bit
wrong.   

I would *really* like to see the printed version, what printer do you use for
it?

Thats quite natural.  Looking at the develpment steps of a larger scene, I am
always impressed how things form during the time.  When you do the scene
yourself, you usually do not recognize that while working on the scene.

i used glossy 8.5 by 11 inch hp photo paper on my hp970 printer. printer
resolution is 2400 by 1200 dpi.  colors are sharp and clear.  you can
see every detail.  for anyone in the market for a new printer, i
recommend mine.  they're just under $400.  my in-laws bought one and my
parents just bought one.  they all love it too.  the first time you
print out a high res color image you just go slack-jawed.

i'm interested in figuring out a better way to do clouds.  i've seen
some people use multi-ridged fractals and some use media and maybe
isosurfaces, but they were all for land-based scenes.  i'd like to
figure a way to adapt them to sphere planets like mine.

i'd love to distribute the full size picture so people could print it
out.  i zipped it and it is still 14MB!  i think i have webspace on a
couple of those web hard drive sites.  i'd be willing to spend the time
uploading and making my folder sharable if anyone shows interest.  i
swear, making images that large makes me wish i could do animations that
large (not that they'd even play once i did due to ram and processor
limitations.)  but unless i'm mistaken, these are the kinds of
resolutions used on movies.  however, once a film gets to video and dvd,
all that resolution is lost.  even dvd is only 700+ pixels wide.  it
might be cool to render an animation and then burn dvd's of it (provided
the end result was worth it).  unfortunately, the only make-your-own dvd
software i have seen was prohibitively expensive.  i wonder how long it
will be until average-joe-consumer will be able to.

I have to say, that looks pretty impressive.  The glow from the engines is
really nice,
and I like the texturing on the ship.

sorry about the filesize thing.  if you were to save them to your hard
drive, you'd see they're a lot smaller than the server makes them out to
be.

These look great, a big improvement on earlier versions.
