This looks pretty cool. The background is a bit blurry, so it sort of clashes with the crispness of the anim8or objects.

In working on the "space contest" entry EricAug and I had discussed one way of making planet atmosphere being to make flat disc that would run through the middle of the planet, with the flat side set to always face the camera.  Then that disc would have a semi-transparent color of blue for atmosphere, but with a trans-map of a large disc that would fade at the edges... that would give the look of the atmosphere thinning into space.

@Arik
Very nice method Arik! I will have to test with that some time.

@Masta

Very nice space ship, I sure wouldn't want that thing fighting me. Just one thing to do: Use the trick Arik showed then, if you want too, find a higher quality space image, re-render and your all set!
