wow you are really getting to be great at this.

this is a wee test i did with fractals pro enjoy this render now at 5000 pixels lolz!
(not recommended viewing at 100% 50-75 is best)

also the advantage of using the terragen metablob technique over a 3d model
you can populate any object on it and you can edit the displacement with fractals instead of adding detail in such programs as mudbox of ZB it also  has a better advantage over the fake stones technique as you have great flexibility in the overall shape and molding

Great image and a great concept
About your metablob technique, I have unsuccessfully worked with this before but the results were not what I was looking for. I've noticed that each metablob (planet) has its own centre that what ever displacement is applied to seems to radiate from. Therefore I cant get strata or any horizontal effect to propagate across conjoined metablobs. Horizontal effects become offset spherical displacements, interesting but not what I was looking for. Have you figured out a workable solution you'd like to share?
Cheers

I never seen any reference to anything TG-metablob related before. If it's just extra planets and you want to add only horizontal stratas and such to them then, setting each displacement shader as a child to a surface layer, or distribution shader, should then give you the option to control what normal the displacements work from.
Maybe not, I really don't know what you're talking about!
I think it's that this arch is made from lots of different planet nodes, at least 6 of them, as far as I can see.

Just a question, the 5000px wide render seems to be "simply" inflated... it's not an original render out of TG2, is it? I don't know Fractals Pro, so no clue for what you used it. Aah, another question comes to mind: what was the purpose of blowing up this picture? Quality hasn't gotten better...

Nice image. It's best not to *embed* several MBs worth of image into a post though, if possible.

Beautiful work wetbanana!!

My take on scaling it up (comes from my printing background) is if you wanted it displayed on a wall, say higher up were people could not walk right up to it. You would want the image larger and viewed from a distance the detail would look just fine.

Thanks for letting us see this, WB.

exactly what im planning on doing with some of my artwork^^!

That one is cool! I really like the mood of this render! Well done!
