The Lost System

Jack · October 09, 2009, 05:40:32 AM

This is my second entry into the unknown moons contest

postworked planets where done in photoshop special thanks to Burning-Liquid for both recources^^, would have done the planets in terragen 2 but the sun was to bright for the planets to show their true detail and found it had better results.
a 17 hour render not bad considering the size and the fractal details

This Unknown moon orbits a very a Super Earth scale planet roughly 9.2 earth masses.

the system orbits a medium sized star, masses of radiation light the sky in green hues and thin auroras streak across this desolate waste land vista.

This is a fine picture, too bad about the jpeg banding. I prefer png myself. I can't think of anything to add, unless it might be a probe of some kind.

Where is that contest? I want to submit a pic!

Jpeg vs PNG ? OK I WILL HIJACK THIS THREAD!

(at least I am honest) Nice pic bro. - so I should be saving in .png? Even large format images as in final saves?
.png has larger file sizes, but does not have the artifact issues, right?
So after exr conversion and editing save as a .png, - any other considerations?

Any one have any views on this?
