I just got done adding a engine glow effect of sorts to My Starfighter Model. First off, could I get a few opinions on how the effect looks, and second, could I get some input on what kind of light might be good to add to the scene so that the fuselage is more viewable.

Thank's for any and all information and assistance,

So what kind of light could I put in the scene to make the airframe more viewable, or make the sky brighter?

I went through some more of the tutorials that came with Max and this is what I came up with today out of my boredom. It's nothing compared to what some of you all can come up with, but I'm pretty happy with it.

hey -

i would suggest to tone down the background color to bring out your ship more.

for glow -

i would use 'video post'. It is actually quite simple and the F1 menu should provide you w/ enough information to get you going, but if you need more detailed help just ask

For sure, there're different way to do with your airframe.. I opened your craft! Not bad.
And, perhaps we could use texture/pic with alpha/alpha pic, and if we use texture which is supported by MAX itself. we're about to add some effects on it. such as noise, inferno,blur..and so on.
