Magma Bubble. Looks very realistic.

Yeah, I would like to see a landscape like this, a hell scape.

[TheBadger]

hmmmm. Now I'm curious! Are you finding it easier and faster to treat a sphere like a terrain? That is, are you doing the things that you would do to a terrain, to a sphere, because it renders faster? If so, then you could just copy the nodes and apply them to a terrain after all of your experimenting was finished.
Is this correct? if so I would like to know, that would be a new trick for me.

[Seth]

yes exactly
I am working on some texture right now, and basically I would like to know if I could have different looking render, using the light very differently from my previous works.
So... just spheres now or basics shapes. And you can see that the same file was used to do the ball and the ground.
only the scales differ.

I'll do more of this kind of stuff and will write some explainations

Looks great Seth

Thanks again Seth. Looking forward to further discussions on this. Especially interested in render times for the detailed sphere VS. a similarly detailed landscape.
