Something I put together in about an hour today, creating this for a
website... Loosely based off of the starcraft stasis cell.

This actually isn't related to Timothy's WIP, just my own little thing.

Any suggestions?

If this were mine, I'd liven things up a little bit with some reflection
and specular highlights. :)

What kind of settings are you using for the media/fog?

Yeah, I was too lazy for now to do that yet, but probably will come later.

Just plain emission/scattering, nothing special, but the media under the
cell, above the base is a combo of emission and glows.

Make it shiney, and gold, and the media more cyan...

and you need one of those zerg/protoss hybrids inside...;)

This is my favourite part of the picture.
Was it very slow? You used Pov3.5 ?

I thought it looked pretty cool too, although the camera is too far away
to see much of the detail.  I've never actually gotten media to do what
I want at all, much less this. :)

Actually, render time was about 30 seconds.  I was using megapov so the
glows aren't actually media, but as for versions, I was using 3.5, and MP
v0.7.  Also, I'm on a beefed up athlon xp 1700 mhz system so that might have
had something to do with render times ;)

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if I could model organics?

I always did wonder though if Blizzard was going to make SC2 with those
creatures.

I'm satisfied with it for now...  Does anyone know how to set
transparencies, such as 50% transparency, in fireworks or photoshop?  I want
a picture under this to show through if possible.
