I decided to take a quick break and whip up a "sunset" image featuring some of those new GI techniques mixed with a real light source. Its nothing fancy, but I think it turned out nicely.
The terrain is just a simple power fractal, with extra fractals stacked to add additional detail. Same with the color. The clouds are basic TG2 clouds, and the sky is the starry background I posted a few weeks back.
Minor postwork in Photoshop which included levels, color correction, selective sharpening.
