OK,OK…done texturing the bomber for the platform…Next will be some composition of the platform (color tweaking) and/or some of the rest 3 buildings of the scene…

Here is a test with some elements put together for overview. Currently working on remaining 2 buildings. C&C welcomed

yeah! it looks very good together. There is a good scale feeling. Only the engines glow or trail should me different. I think more traditional(more defined and simple) would be better here, those smoky effects you can set with minimal opacity.

I’m moving!! :bounce:
I spent the last day over these babys…currently having the bomber and platform ready for post FX, and some touching on some point (thanks Saschi0815 for pointing it out!) and another building…leaving me 2 buildings for tonight! If this is completed then I can say that I’d be at a fair 60~70% of work completed…missing some textures for ships…a complete close-ship model :banghead::banghead: , 1 really smaller complete ship in the distant upper corner, [size=2]some work on a developing rock island…and then composition…:surprised…I WILL NEVER MAKE IT ON TIME! Oh…there is also some irrelevant things in between that need extra attention too!!
I want to thank you all for ongoing support, encouragement and comments!! 
OK,OK…back to work!! :bounce:

Unfortunatelly I can’t finish the comp 'cause tons of things occured those last days…
Through this wonderful and dynamic developing process I gained alot:
- New friends
- New ideas concerning workflow
- New techniques and issues on bringing to life a poster size 3D image…
All this work doesn’t go to a waste basket…instead I plan on doing some video sequence expanding the story already mentioned here…(I have started with additional concept work too!!)
Again thank you all for your wonderful support!! Wishing the best on your works here and elsewhere…See you around CGTalk for sure!!!

Sorry to hear that. Well, maybe it´s good things that has happend these last days, keeping you too busy for this challenge. Then I´m not sorry.
Anyways, great work you presented in here during the past 3 months. Looking forward to challenge you in an other challenge. And thanx for the constant support in my thread, even though it ended the same as your project. No time wasted in here, lots of fun. Probably learned more in this challenge, than the last couple of years.
Good luck in future, mate:)
