Joerg Gerlach's eye for creating scenes is as sharp as his modeling ability, as you can see here. The DS9 explosion is particularly impressive. He used 8 combustion effects and a meshbomb, and added a big LensFlare later in Photoshop for the explosion and some smaller flares for the BoP lights.

Whoah, look at that comet! Made with a rock surrounded by a blue combustion, and followed by a selfilluminating spray particle system. He added a RLF glow to the particle system, it looks as good as any I've ever seen. The warbird picture is basically just a show of the model, with a bit of RLF for the background.
