Abandoned Probe

[schmeerlap]

Made the probe thingy using XenoDream, textured it in TG2. The crack it made in the ground when it landed (it's ok, it was an unmanned probe) was made using an image map with negative displacement settings. The planet was created in TG2.
Colour adjustments in Photoshop.
Render time was 1hr 6min @ quality detail 0.9 with 8 AA.

Very well done, looks very alien.

Indeed nice image John .

Just a thought , with the negative image that you did for the crack you can  rise the edges near the probe a little bit  and add some little cracks more .
But it is good as it is  

Edit : As i wrote this " Fallen star " came to my mind somehow 

Kadri.

I like this also. Very Sci-Fi. I like that you used elements from the Phalli of Minn, which is one of the best images on Flickr. The moon is really detailed, very nice work.

Thanks.

"Fallen Star". Of course, that's what it should have been called, and I'll use that title (fiver on its way, Kadri  ) if I post this elsewhere.

The colors and lighting are so vibrant - in all, a great idea and creation.

WOW John, this is really cool. I like the Probe object. Very Alien.

Are you going to work on it some more? Maybe some alien vegetation.
