i have more stuff planned for this one....

next I'm planning to add some structures to the surface, circling around the mountain sized tortured hand plant.

Which of both is the moon? ,-)
I like the large displacement on the top one.

the bottom one is meant to be a planet, while the one on top is a moon that has been pulled off its orbit.

I like the story

I miss the red spots of this tortured hand quite a bit I must say

Zairyn Arsyn · August 21, 2009, 04:43:24 PM

Don't worry MacGyver, I'll change the color back to red, I was just trying a different color for the leaves.

MacGyver · August 21, 2009, 04:47:25 PM

Ah ok

I was thinking about how to give this image a little extra touch... hm, haven't come to a conclusion so far. I could imagine some rays some how or perhaps a sun peeking just over the horizon. Just thinking loud

I did another render from a different POV, but I currently dont' have it available online yet, but I'll put it online soon......

Hi

Very cool

I love it from bottem to middle!
For me the rest is to much.

ciao

Very dramatic POV indeed

Imho you could make the tortured hand even bigger for this picture as everything else is so huge. Or instead as Naoo said, leave the first half of the picture and get rid of the bottom. Also, the cloud layer at the bottom seems either too "flat" or out of place to me. At a third look at the image I notice what I like about the upper half: there's not as much "fog/haze" in the upper atmosphere, which makes the colors look more saturated. Do you have a very thick atmo at the bottom?
I like that you boldly go where no tortured plant has gone before

Reminds of of the seventies space art. Kirk says, "He did a little too much LDS."

I always liked the space art from then.

I did't really do much testing on that render, like i usually do, I did'nt realise the clouds were so low, or else I would have disabled them

also, this .tgd has two atmosphere nodes, not sure about the setting of them now, cause I'm not at home.
I'll try to be back with a new render soon, I'm currently working on a object for scene, so sit tight.....

close up version, not yet final.
did some post-work in this render, I added a lens flare for the sun

Stark. Almost Dali. Keep going!

Zairyn Arsyn · August 29, 2009, 11:26:48 PM

oh i will, i just need to reduce the urge to play PC games.

the main focus on that one was the tortured hand model, and the sun.
