I have never thought there would be wind on Triton. Your publisher will be pleased.

There is actually a kind of jet stream, in fact. While the atmosphere on Triton is thin to the point of non-existence, it's enough to shear off the tops of the rising plumes at right angles. This can just barely be made out in some of the Voyager images.

Six of these images employed TG2...

Thanks for all the nice compliments!

I took a look at the Terragen generated images. I like the figures added to the scenes. They really help with scale. Excellent work!

[rcallicotte]

Very nice.  I especially like the first three.

Anyhow your work reminds me on the old SF covers in the right way. Very nice renders . I like them , Blackcat

Absolutely fantastic work blackcat! Hopefully within a few months I'll be able to make something similar     (still working the 'create' your first scene tutorials)

Gosh! And here I was, reluctant to post most of these because I was so much in awe of what everyone else is doing!
