It still needs some work. The motion blur isn't quite to my liking, nor is the fire trail from the B-Wing, but I'm still pleased. There is also no lighting whatsoever--that will be addressed tonight along the rest of my issues.  I haven't done any SW or sci-fi related rendering in a long time. Opinions/constructive criticism welcome.

Thanks. Like I said, I'm open to suggestions or advice for improvement. Sometimes it's hard to critique them by myself because I tend to be a bit harsh.
I'll probably add a star, or some other source of ambient light in the background, and give parts of the B-Wing a green glow from the laser shots, to give an idea of how close they're coming.

Here's the latest revision:

The lighting is still not right, and there will be another object of interest placed in the image.

The lasers could do with a bit of slimming? I don't really know.
But it's cool man. The VE's never been short of talent in the writing department but we're kind of lacking in areas such as this. -----------------------

Thanks for the compliment. Concerning the lasers, could you be a bit more specific? I increased their length over the first pic, they just didn't look right in it. If you have anymore suggestions or criticism, feel free to post. -----------------------

Looks really nice Amason.
As for the lasers, the green ones seem to be detracting from the rest of the image as they have quite a glow. The yellow missile looks nice though; as that doesn't have much of a glow/hue to it. -----------------------

I did add a bit of extra glow to the lasers. I'll see if I can tweak those. The missile is actually fire from a hit on the B-Wing. Still working on the smoke. -----------------------

Wow dude,
I'm just a writer of sorts. Wished you were here now to teach me how you do that stuff.
OHm, AOhm AAAOHm, That's the pitter patter of religeous type persons paying homage to your knowledge.
If I could I would attach videos of some religeous ceremony followed by your stuff. I would.
But, I can't. I wished I knew even some of what you know. -----------------------
Grammer, mechanics, punctuation, spelling, diction, effectiveness in the science, and larger elements are the facts at hand. |

Sorry bout not editing. I can't see the missile. The big yellow bit would actually be the sublight engines being used though. the lasers are fine but the lighting is a bit eugghhh. |

Thanks folks. It's actually a flame trail. One of the B-Wing's engines has been hit. No missile. Most sublight engines emit a glow that can increase in brightness depending on the engine throttle, but none that I know of will produce a tail or flames.
There's still really no lighting yet. -----------------------

Thanks. I have to work with an old version of Max, that likes to lock my PC up randomly, so working on this image, even though it's very simply, has been slow.
Etan, sorry, I just re-read your post and caught one of the lines. I am here, in the VE now. If you, or anyone else would like a bit of help, or guidance in this area, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

Yes, the lighting, or lack thereof is somewhat intentional. Still working tho, but things are looking better. -----------------------
