    Not bad, but I recommend doing a dark gray 'background radiosity' pass to make it a lil brighter and to make it a lil more realistic. :)

    Yeah, see... if the number of people giving you feedback that it's dark is greater than the number of people telling you it's fine, then it's probably dark. Your hardware is superior to the run of the mill, which is great, but doesn't give you a feel for what the average person is going to see.

    Your screen and everybody else's screen can have substantially different gamma values.
    Personally I owned a nice 19" TFT which I loved, but when I upgraded a couple years later >all< screens I tried had so much more bright darks. (which would imply lower gamma value, which doesn't seem to make any sense, but what do I know.)

    What was a nice blackish grey on SFM's old skin turned to bright grey puke. I've been adjusting my gamma setting in my video driver ever since, for lack of a better option (confusingly, I have to adjust it down, which doesn't make sense as that should make it brighter >_>).


    Long story short, even on my bright-ish screen, that is pretty damn dark. sorry :p

    In real life a photographer would bring his own lights and bounce cards. :D

    If you're against adding more fill (most of the ship drifts to black on all of my displays, including a calibrated broadcast monitor) then you should add some more self illumination, especially on that front section. Light up those greebles :) Moody lighting is fine, but you have to have some areas of brightness, otherwise you'll have people wanting to turn up the brightness on their monitors.

    He'd do what it takes to make the image readable. Even in the case of 'real lighting' he would adjust his exposure to get a little more fill out of it.

    I am using an old fashioned Dell TUBE Monitor. It looks great to me. THe contrast reminds me a lot of the ship that inspired the Omega destroyer design. The Isamov from "2010 the YEar we made contact."
