Moonbases and glowing asteroids

I had a few images that I wanted to show Jon and the other team members, so I thought I might as well share them with everyone.

Here they are. The first is a shot of the new 'metallic' asteroids, which may be included for prospecting and mining in Traffic.

Next is a shot of another new asteroid, this one of ice, with glowing viens of reactive minerals/ores.

Next is a shot of the new Gas Giant rings

Finally there are two shots of a new Moonbase asteroid I made recently, just to see whether it could be done.

The last shot shows me docked to the moon, enjoying the sunset after a long day of trading.

Looking good there...

I'm really going to have to pull out the stops if Asylum is to compete.

Very good! The rings are spectacular.

Once more into the breach...

Ok, that last shot, that's where I want to retire! And the phospher streaks are very nice.

The metallic effects, can any lightwave shader effect be used? I was noticing the Chrome.ftu files in images/environment maps. I always liked the rusty metal feel of some of the EvE ships.

I don't have anything to say except they are beautiful shots.

very beautiful...i want that

how'd you arrange such great shots? did you just use the F# views?
