On 14 April 2250 the luxury interstellar passenger liner Titanic departed from its orbit around Van de Kamp gas giant orbiting the Barnard's Star, back towards the Earth. A couple of minutes after jumping to the FTL speed she hit an uncharted ice asteroid. The energy shield saved the ship from an instant annihilation but it exploded 20 minutes after the accident, killing the majority of the passanger and the crew. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the spaceship did not carry enough rescue pods for everyone aboard.

Six years after the accident, Earth received a digital radio pattern, containing a series of various holograms from the ship. The images were taken during the cruise, some of them only moments before the tragic departure, probably by a news-droid.

Thank you for your interest in my work!

Well, I have just one thing to say. The Chinese character on the wine bottle... well, it is awkward. I don't think anyone would use those words in that way... sounds really weird.

Do you speak Chinese? If so, why do you choose those words? If not, what are you trying to say exactly?

The label is a photo of a label of an actual bottle of a Japanese drink. Unfortunately I can not read either Japanese or Chinese, so I don't know what it means :D ... but I'm pretty sure it means something, since I took the whole label and didn't put it up myself out of random characters or something ( I can not gurantee that I didn't mirrored the texture by mistake, though...). It's meant as a mere decoration, I count on the fact, that most of my public can not read the characters either... All other inscriptions on the scene are in Esperanto and they are correct, as far as my knowledge of the language goes.

Thank you for the info anyway and also for taking the time to comment!

That explains it. Japanese use the characters differently, so what makes sense in Japanese might sound weird in Chinese.

lol, only yian could know and notice that! 

i have to tell you straight off, i don't like 3d & i don't like filters, so you have 3d models & lens flare, and yet, i like it. dunno why but i find it very serene and i would like to see that view.

You would think that the designers would have learned from the mistakes of the ships namesake in that respect. Talk about history repeating itself.

Kazky, I'm glad you like it and I also think I understand you attitude towards the 3D illustration technique - there are too many kids out there today that try to do "instant" 3D illustrations by simply combining ready-made object and then hitting the render button - and thus filling the internet with crap "art" and doing a bad favour to the technique.

:) well that's the point of my story here. Thank you for your comment as well!

very well done.  this is one time a lens flare works.

Seen it on this site a lot to. But don't say anthing most of time because don't want to start stuff.  Nice render man.

I smell dead people.

Its a nice render. But my goodness if that little lady drinks all that she will fall overboard and her boyfriend, husband, girl friend, automated love making contraption will be blamed. Someone get her to AA quick.
