A 3d animation of a rocket that I made with blender 3d. Tell me what you think!

Well, it's a start. I see some flickering on the fins, are you using radiosity lighting? I haven't used Blender yet, I use Lightwave.

lighting got a bit messed up. I was just concentrating on getting the particles right, i rushed the materials.

Add some landscape, and a sky. Go here https://www.cgtextures.com/, download a sky map you like, map it to a dome, and some type of ground would help too.

Did you know I am a professional CG artist? I even blew up the Enterprise, just for game though...

Here is a link to NASA's repository of 3D models and maps you might find fun:

:eyepop: Wow! Thanks for helping, I will post an improved version soon. Can you show me a video of your enterprise exploding, I'd like to see it!
now I feel really embarrassed at my CG skills
EDIT: Give Blender a try if you haven't already, It's hard to use but effective =)

Photobucket video freezes my browser

Anyway I admire people who are able to use software such as blender - it's so difficult! You need years to learn basic things...

Thanks Dexter! Here it is a .gif on photobucket, I hope this doesn't freeze
