Planet render

The title says it all. This render came about while testing the power fractal shader values to see what I could get at the global scale. I think it turned out okay though perhaps the finer ground details could use some more tweaking.

Beautiful render, the sunlight on the haze looks incredible!

I think the terrain itself could use a bit of tweaking like you said, it appears the crater edges are actually above the rest of the terrain, which looks a little unnatural, but still very nice!

Very nice render. Lovely work. It's interesting how things look so different from way up high. I'm not sure the terrain needs work. At this height, how much detail will we actually see? How high up is this?

To give you an idea, the crater's rim height is 2300.

I can't find anything wrong with this image - the terrain, haze/mist and stars all look great. In fact, that image looks frighteningly realistic.

Cool. By "details", do you mean color shading or actual terrain modification? I'm not sure what I would do next, if I were you. Maybe some coloring to eliminate that "one color" look. I don't know. It looks about awesome enough some people might be willing to print a large photo of it.
