Tried many other planned images but i didn't like the outcome so far .
So i tried one without anything in my mind.
It is very hot here ; it may have influenced the outcome and the name

Stitched from 8 x 800x600 images and then cropped .
The first i want when i have money is to buy TG2 .
I can not imagine trying to make something like this in another 3D software!

[inkydigit]

very nice terrain and surfaces....atmo/mood look really hot/desertlike!

[Henry Blewer]

Creative way to get around the freeware limits. Very nice terrain work.

[domdib]

Yes, very skilful displacements.

[ra]

Very realistic work. 

[Hannes]

The rock surface looks incredibly good. The only thing I would criticise is the size of the sun disk. It's really very big.

[Kadri]

Thanks guys  

What made it possible are the members who share their knowledge here with us.
I am still very new to TG2 ! By doing this image i learned a lot .
And i think every other image will bring new things too.
There are so many possibilities with such a software.
It is like a cliche but i really trow this away. I could tweak this on and on.
Some of this comes from the way (Open ended (?)) and power of TG2 itself.

Cheers.

Hannes , in a way the name says it .
To the end i thought why not to do a image that shows a very far future of Earth.
In some way the danger of climate change and-or a bigger Sun of the future with a little artistic license.
But i didn't want that all of this to stick out too much at the same time 

[Hannes]

Ah, then maybe the sun would be a red giant, wouldn't it? Anyway, this would look cool.

If it wasn't the free version i would render it ones more with a red Sun .
But as i said i wasn't trying to be scientifically true  

Edit : Hannes , i did try a red Sun on a 300x600 image but i didn't liked the outcome.
       Too much red(suprise  ) on the surfaces.
       To make this believable is not easy with only making the Sun redder. Not for me at least !
       It seams you have to play with other parameters too.  

[Hetzen]

Your sandstone texture in that light is spot on.

[Kadri]

I did try a little more but couldn't make a good image with a big red Sun.
It isn't so much hard to do in post but i wanted to make it in TG2.
The image here is very bad!

But as i did try some things i get distracted. It could maybe used in other ways!
Edit: God rays etc.

I will post the other part and the TGD in the file sharing section.

Kadri, I can't believe my eyes: is this your first image post? If yes, congratulations!

You have obviously made good use of your (secret) learning time. As Hetzen said the rock texture is great. The only thing that bothers me is that the ultra-sharp displacements continue to the horizon. I think it would be much nicer if the rough displacements would die off with the distance. Other than that: great scene! It looks very hot there indeed.

Cheers,
Frank

You are right . I really didn't bother with the horizon much.
This was one of the reason that i didn't wanted to show too much of the background.
Thanks Frank

Very nice ankle-dislocating displacements. If I go there I'll stay in the cab of my Tonka truck.
Good work, Kadri.
