Two suns big -Thanks to TheBadger

[Mahnmut]

Hi there,
it´s been some time since I posted anything here.
This one is also more than a year old, but I just thought I´d share it.
I didn´t have much time recently as I started working as a doctor, but on top of that my new computer doesn´t cooperate with TG.
Freezes as soon as I open the colour-change menue. but thats not for the image-sharing-section.
I hope you like my sinister little planet, c&c are always welcome.

Excellent render! The red/yellow star especially caught my attention, it looks very nice indeed; though I would think that a star would look like (assuming it's in its prime) a bright ball lacking a lot of detail. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh well, works here, I wouldn't change it simply because how awesome it looks.

Very dramatic render. But I would like to see that bigger!

Whoa, how in the hell did you make that big sun?  Screw realism, that looks awesome!

[TheBadger]

I would like to know how you got the fire on the sun too. Render or post?

[Mahnmut]

Thanks to your kind replies!
@CatfishEatist: That red sun is not meant to be a star in it´s prime but rather some dying red dwarf or somthing like that.
In terms of Terragen its actually a planet that throws no shadow in front of a sun. There is no postwork on it, I just created a cloud layer and twisted and twisted until it looked like I wanted it.
@ Dune: I don´t own the full version of TG, so I can´t render it bigger than 800x600,
if anyone wants to do that for me I´ll look up the original file.

Just for the ones who missed my productive times:

Me too, me too........................

It looks nice Jan!
Try to work with TG2 too please besides your patients

[Dune]

You beat me, yossam and Badger. Time zones, huh. 

[yossam]

You got it................

[Mahnmut]

Now that´s some response!
beside my patients I have guests from abroad at the moment, so I won´t find the time to look for the file this week.
When I find it, I´ll just put it up here. If you find anything useful in it for your own projects, feel free to use it and to give me credit!
I will have to solve that colour-menu- problem.
Best Regards,
Jan

[Mahnmut]

Here you go.
Have fun!

[Kadri]

I have no time now (rendering now) but i will certainly look at the file. Thanks Mahnmut 

[TheBadger]

Thank You Jan!

If no one else does it first, Ill render a large image (HD) for you.
Is everything in the file as your image shows? and How long did it take to render at the size you posted? And would you like it to be the same aspect ratio or a cinematic ratio?

I can just put it to render before I go to sleep if it takes a long time. And I can post the image here or e-mail it to you if you like.

Cheers for sharing your methods!
