Finally done! :) Spent a lot of time on this, probably way too much. Been redoing the background at least three times, and could never get it right. But thanks to some excellent tutorials (especially ~Statross's excellent all-in-one space tutorial!) I finally got a background that I felt did the piece justice. All the ships are done in Bryce, explosions, engine glow, stars, planets and nebular-looking thingie all done in Photoshop. I must admit, I'm especially proud of the explosions. :)

Tools: Bryce, Photoshop, Volito2

Time: No idea any more

Don't miss out on any details: Download for full view, and hope you like it! :)

the 3D models are simple and clean, and are very good... however they are too simple in contrast to the background.

try using some different textures and if necessary make them yourself in photoshop. For example my piece here --> [link]

the texture for the wood on the tikki hut was made in photoshop. The textures are just detailed enough where they match at the same complexity.

I would suggest in this piece you either make the background simpler or make the textures on the models more detailed.

Ah, you have spotted (one of) my greatest weaknesses where 3D modelling is concerned. I suck at textures. Those I've used in this piece are textures from Bryce that I've modified a bit. But thanks for your critique, I will try to take it to heart. :)
