The Shield

[zionner]

Hey all,

This is my latest render, The planet in the middle is pretty simple, and the GI and "Shield" Needs working (I'm trying to apply a more Reflective Effect) Which I'll work on tomorrow,

Anyway, enjoy!

[old_blaggard]

Nicely done!  How exactly did you get the shield?  My first guess would be a cloud layer.

[dhavalmistry]

my second guess would be cloud layer too...

very nice...and unique!

Oh, cool.  A bubble!  I'm assuming this is a closeup view of a Paris Hilton bathtup scene.

Damn! How did you know!

@ B_G and Dhava- Yeah, its a very thin cloud lair, I think I acheived the effect quite well...but I'm working on improving it as we speak..

Hopefully I'll have an updated version later on tonight..

[rcallicotte]

By the way, I wasn't barbing you.  That is cool.

[Tangled-Universe]

Cool shield Macleod!

I know you were'nt

[zionner]

Sorry guys, this is taking longer then I thought to figure out....

Has anyone here ever tried to apply a reflective shader to a cloud layer before?

[rcallicotte]

Never.  How's that going?

[Matt]

Applying a reflective shader to a cloud layer won't do what you expect, because the cloud layer is not a surface (and the reflective shader operates on surfaces). At best it may turn everything in the scene reflective, but I wouldn't know for sure without trying it.

Thanks Matt,

Hmm...I'll keep looking to see if I can find a way to apply, some sort of reflective look to the clouds
