Dark chocolate 70% mmm

[littlerocketstudios]

Hello boys and girls,

Inspired by stories of oil spill and crap, chocolate, decided to make a rather darkish scene.

Accidentally and to my amazement, I got a nice effect by just plugging in a Alpine fractal shader into the chain and some "fiddling about".

My Mac Book Pro 2,5 Ghz had to sweat for 26 hours just to get to the finish...

Of course I could have tuned the render settings, but I was pretty lazy and ignorant



Hope you like it.

Bye bye !

This is a great looking scene, very well done! Shame about the atmo noise in the upper right, but anyway, this looks great.

regards,
Frank

Very unusual displacements, and great lighting.

Wow! Giant Brownie.

This is cool. Nice lava flow field.

Hey, thanks for the cheers !

I suppose I should have cranked up the quality of the atmosphere to get rid of the grainy noise... Hope to upgrade to a proper render beast anytime soon... Now, let's see if Steve put's some hexacores into the new Macs

nice terrain, nice "fiddling around" ;-)

looks great, where did you plug the af shader?
0.9  is very high quality, you may get away with less, especially if you up the atmo/cloud quality...the clouds and sky are really good too!

@inkydigit: The nodes are really very minimalistic

The surface layer is only for a little bit of "sand"...

littlerocket, you just gave me a craving for dark chocolate, thanks 
i'm going to get my self a shovel, and dig up some dark chocolate deposits.

the clouds look cool, well done, despite the quality
