This is from a tutorial i followed, Pete Draper\'s deconstructing the elements; however I have changed various elements with the particles generation and the materials as I didn\'t like the outcome while sticking exactly to the tutorial. I would recommended his book to anyone who wants to get to grips with particle generation in 3dsMax.

This is my first attempt to recreate the scene in which the Starship Enterprise rises above the Saturn rings. I used 3ds Max and Afterburn to get the full effect. This is actually a simple particle simulation, rendering took approximately 2 hours. My next task will be to make a better spacecraft to rise above the mist and to add Saturn and its rings.
