Took me a while to figure this one out, but with a little help from the forum it came out better than expected.

Damn Greg, that's a beauty! Well worth the time you put in, if I may say so.

Really nice!

Very well executed

Maybe add a small island chain to give it a sense of scale.

Outstanding! The lighting is super.

Really stunning! The 'god-rays' slicing thru the swirling clouds form waterfalls of light giving an incredible feeling of depth. The deep range of colors and the sun's majestic glow on the planet's surface truly create an almost 'romantic' view from near orbit. Wonderful!

Hi Greg,

I think a lot, including me, are interested to know how you processed this image after rendering?

Cheers,

Very little was done. I've noticed that Terragen tends to render images that look like the flat pass of a plate delivery, which is actually good because it gives you a lot of range to play with after the fact. All I did was take the rendered .exr file and bring it into Nuke, where I pulled the gamma down about 20% which boosts the saturation a bit and increases contrast and then I pulled up the yellows a little more in the upper mid tones and highs. All in all it was a pretty light touch, only two operations.
