Brown Dwarf WIP

[WAS]

Something I've been fiddling with

[Dune]

Great!

[Hannes]

Yes, looks great!!

[mhaze]

Excellent!

[Kadri]

Even better then the other one before. Great.

I wanted the ring to be bigger, and to be more dust like and chaotic, like it hasn't settled, like there was an excess of material that didn't form into planets, but the warming and such a huge thin cloud to look through at a luminous sphere, render times were insane. Like literally at 1440w preview it goes from close to 2 minutes, to 28 minutes and not even half way finished! And that's at AA3. Lol Not sure what to do there to make it not hit the renderer like a supernova. Lol

Also want to add a couple planet/moons but need to work out a invisible sphere for lighting. Current luminosity that escapes through the clouds is spotty because of GI.

Thanks for the comments.

This is really impressive! Fully procedural?

Yep. I didn't want to use a image map even for the rings.

Impressive!  I've tried to get those Jovian-type ovals storms on gas giant planets, but to no avail. Nice work!

[luvsmuzik]

Very well done!

[Jo Kariboo]

Beautifull picture and excellent luminosity effect!

Thanks everyone. I'm a little puzzled as to my True Color and my monitor. My image looks a lot brigher on other monitors (including 4k phone), but when I turn up brightness on my monitor or through true color, I can noticeably see saturation/contrast off with everything. Peculiar "vision" this monitor presents for art. Not sure if that's cause of the extra "bitness" to the monitors color or what.

Very cool and mystic look!

This is what they really look like (when they are not shooting polar jets).

I think that's pretty rare to visualize. Even Jupiters auroras are composited in because are too faint to really see. Similar would happen with brown dwarfs. You may not even see the auroras let alone the electromagnetic bands they follow around the planetoid. You could probably see the aurora rings in near or complete darkness. They theorized because of this phenomonom we would be able to see brown dwars and other super massive gas giants because of their radio emissions, but we've actually only ever found one this way.
