No comments?? Thought so. There was less to give comments on , thats true.
So here is the update. I feel really comfortable with it and guess I wont change much, unless you guys are going to shoot me, maybe then I'll change something

Looks cool!
A couple comments though... the atmosphere's glow is a bit to big, the world is missing clouds, and the lighting could have a little more contrast, and there seems to be one of theose "things" (what ever they are) in the planet with three legs sticking out. :p

I like the galaxy in the background, is it a backdrop or is it also made in LW? The flares look squashed which makes me think it's a backdrop that is supposed to be wider.

Thanks for the comments man, really appreciate it, and yes how could I forget the clouds? They are there, but transparency is turned up too high. Will rework it.I'll also have a look at the atmosphere, you're also right about that?

Yes it is a backdrop, but I havnt changed anythink to it, its the original that way?

Looks better but there is barley an atmosphere .
Now there is a light rim on the other side :p.
Do you have the ambient intensity set to 0 (or very low)?

I don't know if you have a negetive light there or if you took it out but it's ment to make the dark side of the planet darker.

I like the way you can see the aliens better now.

still not good enough he, well in that case we call our master and let him have a look at the problem. Result: I am a bad 3D artist. Still learning so there will be one day I'll be as good as you guys. Maybe within a 1000 years or so.
Thanks to Philip for showing me the way back to the dark side.

comments welcome
