Description
Smartdust or Smatter is the general term used to describe military-grade, programmable matter that functions at the nano, pico and femto scales.
Smartdust is typically deployed during the beginning of a combat engagement as screens of highly versatile dust. These screens act as defensive particle shields; ablating, reflecting or deflecting enemy fire. Offensively, by generating disassembly fields and and zones of high static charge potential. Or logistically, by converting nearby matter into zones that retrofit and repair friendly vessels, or as local computational networks.
The latest version of Smartdust incorporate concepts and technologies directly from the 'Dust Shaper. Some of these include high-bandwidth, FTL communication; which enables vastly improved computation power. Follotic Link technology, which provides the ability to induce local phase transitions in the very fabric of space-time, greatly increasing offensive capabilities.
Featured here is the new 'Lor' Class Supercarrier, upgraded with the Smartdust compatible, F-Link arrays.
Tools: Cinema 4D, Vray, Apophysis Photoshop, Illustrator

Submitting art work here again feels good. Hopefully it won't be the last one for the year.

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactI want to give this five stars across the board.
It's not often I come across little gems like this one.
Here's why: This is one of very few truly futuristic works of art I have seen in a long time.
The nano/smart dust is an inspired idea, both simple and different enough to seem real to me. We may very well fight in space with clouds of smart dust one day.
Also the ships have a fitting shape, they are streamlined and somewhat organic, and they seem to be at the same level of technology as the dust. Hat off for that one!
The artist has in my opinion captured a real sense of drama and action in this shot.
I quite like the composition as well, with the angles of the ships nearly perpendicular to the weapons fire. They seem slow ans graceful, like kites or sails.
All in all this is so much better than the done to death lasers everyone else makes.
So top marks for vision, originality, technique and impact. Well done mate!
