Along the same lines as my versus pics thread, the best of my current collection of Star Wars CG models. (Some of the crappier ones, like ones using XvT and original X-Wing models, are excluded.) I claim no credit for these, as I have all the rendering skills of a retarded cockroach and steal pictures like a bandit.

Just acquired this one a few minutes ago. Props to Jedi_knight on the XWA Upgrade Project forums for this one. (Hey, he asked me to host his Otana models, so I think I can steal a pic of his in return for that service. )
3D rendering. No area on Earth has that many close-set waterways. That continent looks like Venice writ large. I meant that the one directly above that comment is Earth, not the one two pictures above.
Reality check aside, it was very convincing renders, by the way.
I went through and stole the best from the Star Wars Modeling Alliance site. I'll have to find it again and post the link; there's lots more but the others are either of slightly lesser quality or I just didn't get to them; there are around 1500 renders on the site.
Some good ones, but I think for the majority they are too sharp and no depth of field. Makes it look plasticy, some just don't have good lighting. Mind you even rendering a still with full GI and all is a CPU killer. The TIE interceptors on the water has some nice match lighting, just the water is way too reflective and plasticy.
The only things I can do that are close are audio editing and stage lighting.
The audio editing is mostly technical stuff, e.g. give me the cuts, and I'll make a decent sounding track. Stage lighting is fun, but it's not really something you can make into a hobby.

Yeah, the water's always bugged me, but it's still a great shot. You know, for the longest time no matter how much I looked at the picture that KAN quoted above, it looked like they were over water.

Hey, I can see my house from here!
Sorry, couldn't resist it!
The pics are all nice. Not a work of art, but they're all pretty cool. However, is it me or are the TIEs better defined than the Rebel ships?

Ahh, from the days when it seemed like no one on the internet could find a source for what TIE Bombers looked like from behind.

Clearly the Empire has developed monowire warheads and slashed the S-foils off of a B-Wing group.
