Is the white space there to emphasize the dark scene?  If so, it did  :-)
Are the gray cylinders actually done with the sphere_sweep?  No curvatures?
hmm

That's nice. Looks like some wreckage deep under water

Now this is strange. This is really strange. I don't know what it is, but I'd
expect it to be a still from some science fiction movie.

I do like

personally i had to brighten the image up to see all the details.  But it makes
me think of an alien machine... neat image though...  like the colors..

I really like it; it's a very interesting and detailed design and the
colours work well together.  If you're thinking of doing a 1280x1024 render
(of just the centre bit), send it my way!  :)

Reminds me of the Vulcan game w/ sticks on Voyager...?

Hello,

Yes, the whole shape was done through sphere sweeps, save the clear-ish
spheres and glows.

I use Macros and While loops extensively, all following the same model of:

seeds
rand macro()
end

objectmacro()
randmacro calls
loops w/objects
end
end

objectmacro call loop
end

I appreciate everyones feedback, thank you.

I'll post more images at another point, once they've reached at least
semi-acceptable level as this image has.

As for the brightening to see; what system are you running (os, monitor,
vidboard, gamma)?

I'm using win98, HP-M70, nVidia riva tnt2pro, 1.8 gamma (recently photoshop
calibrated, so that could have changed..).
