is this ship 13 miles or 13 inches?


#1

While rendering a fly by of a 13-mile long ship I notice it just seems like its inches long. I don’t want to give the ship a Spaceball 1 length feel but how can I make this long ship feel and look longer on render? Add more detail to the hull and slow down the ships fly by rate? Increase the movie render length?

You might want to try making the camera have more of a wide angle lens to it and fly the camera real close to the ship.

Also an angle from below the ship’s centerline can make it appear larger. And as Jim suggests, I tend to keep the lens setting around 28mm to 35mm for space scenes and choreograph the ship to pass as close to the camera as I can on a fly-by.
