Oh and )v(att, about the bottom of the ship. It looks the same as the top actually, i just realized tho, after watching ID4 again = P, that the bottom doesn't really have that much light on it. Because of the size of the ship, the sun doesn't really get much light on it. You will be able to see it in the space scene at the begining. It goes like this:
600 million years ago during the ICE age, an alien space ship crashes into the earth. This is the opening shot, and I want it to look really good. Does anyone wanna help me with a texture for the inside of a sphere i can use as the "sky" in space? I'ma need a few shots in space, then i will need to somehow model a shot of the earth during the ice age. Unfortuantely, there were no cameras (or humans) that long ago so i kinda have to make it up. Don't really know how yet.

From a compositing standpoint, everything looks good, however..
I guess if I had to give any anal advice, it would have to be:
-The Black and White point balance of your bg plate in relation to your cg element(s) needs to be balanced.
(BALANCE! Daniel-san!) hehe..
What compositor are you using again? ..that way I can point you to a page in the docs that will help you achive that "color-corrected" look, as if they were shot together, otherwise, I'll write a small tut, and post it here for ya
Plus, a "tinge" more blur & grain to your ship plate to match your bg plate would go far as well.
Sorry for being anal, but I'm trying to turn a new leaf, and give more than just a one-word "Cool! , or, WOW!" posting
hehe...

About the B/W balance daniel san, i did the comps in photoshop, although when i do them for the movie i'll use those still images, and composite animations on top with after effets, they HUGE images, so i can pan along them, hopefully without looking like panascan = O
So i did do a brightness and contrast and i wasn't happy with it. Although i'm sure the grain will help (this can be done in After effects i assume?). I'm gonna go grain that layer in Photoshop.

Course all the AV geeks will probably pick it apart if they got their hands on a still image = O

) I dont like the fire too much it looks too solid for fire (I know it's a big fireball but it's still too solid
) what about filming some real fire? or finding stock footage and using that? That would obviously look much more realistic (same goes for smoke too) just film it against black and you will be fine.
