Dante 01

[freelancah]

Hey guys. Long time since Ive posted here, my startup company is keeping me busy and doing some commissions on my spare time.. Anyways I did some work on an old project and guess it's time to post something again

The clouds are made with an image map around 50k wide. Just 1 cloud layer. Terrain however has a massive ammount of nodes creating all kinds of shapes, craters and whatnot.
I added a scaled down version to the forum and a link to the 12.5k wide version. Lava stands quite well to closeups. Rendered from the same position as the large image, except with a camera angle of 1 degrees instead of 60. Also a terrain render without clouds to show the land shapes..

I rendered this originally @ 19k wide but got complaints about browsers crashing so I scaled it down a bit

Terrific stuff, freelancah. I was about to say "cool", but didn't

I like the renders.
Very big textures. Any problem at editing?

[freelancah]

Thanks guys
Kadri it's just 1 texture and no not really, plenty of ram helps a lot

Attached closeup image of the sunny side of the planet. Without clouds tho

[Kadri]

Thanks and that last one looks good too.

Really impressive! Fantastic shaders!

[freelancah]

Thanks Hannes!
A bit of closeup to clouds. They dont stand "that" well in closeup but i guess they are okay Everything else however is pretty close to what I want

ALmost afraid to ask, but, what do you consider to be "plenty of ram"?
- MP

[freelancah]

64GB would be plenty. 32 GB sufficient

Great image.

[Hannes]

That closeup looks amazing! However there is a strange straight line. I guess it's inside the clouds map, right? As far as I remember I once had a similar artifact.

[freelancah]

Yeah there is a line somewhere in the image mask. Need to do some more searching. There are more Im sure
