At least something more then a doodle.
This image is more then 90 % or so finished to my eye. But i have 2 questions.
I wanted this one to be a little dark. But is it too dark?
On one of my monitors it looks good, in the second one it might be a little dark to others. Not sure.
The wreck on the right lower side does it look Ok (finished) to you?
I might add kind of a little trail of wreck parts from the lower right to the main wreck but not sure if it needs more.
No criticism here. Shards in front of the main light source would appear dark as you have them. Outstanding render!
It's rather dark, but that does help the gloomy mood. And you have to see at max size to really see the wreck, as the background there is rather dark too.
The wreck itself might have some part added that looks more like whatever has been wrecked. It's 'just' a bunch of parts now. If it's a spaceship, maybe a wing or engine, or anything more recognizable.
IMO.
But I like the concept very much!
Mostly good one. Displays fine on both my monitors but I agree with Dune on the wreckage which just looks like space junk and not a wrecked vessel at the moment.
Thanks all.
I agree about the wreck. I was already changing some parts in that aspect.
How about this one?
It looked like it needed a little crop on the lower side.
So i changed the look just a little without loosing much of the view.
Oh yeah, thats a convincing render of a space catastrophy/accident...
The last renders give in fact a better impression that it could have been a vessel or a station.
Thanks Nils.
The last one is the final probably.
Super cool!!! Great image! And yes, it depends on the monitor. I have two screens as well, and on one of it it's quite dark, and the other one looks good.
Thanks Hannes.
That's it, Kadri!
Cool stuff Kadri!
Thank you.
Nailed it...tells a story now; well done Kadri!

Looks really awesome! Love the lighting. I'm wondering if rock objects would look nicer?
As for the brightness, on my monitor and my TV, it looks great, on my phone, with locked in contrast and colour settings, it is pretty dark and little hard to see, actually.
It's too dark to see the wreck clearly on my iPhone (it's visible at max brightness but when I have the screen at a lower setting it's indistinguishable from the background).
Why not put it against the brighter parks of the background to create a silhouette?
Matt
...or have something else in the background that extends some light into the lower right corner?
Thanks all.

I tried but couldn't get them the way i want (they are scattered rock objects). The bare look looked better then what i tried.
They are a little bigger now then they should be probably.
With a smaller size they might look OK. The rock amount could be a little less too maybe.
Matt the unprocessed image was a little lighter. I liked the darker look but it is here a bit too much as it looks.
I am making some tests now to make a small animation of the scene.
I will try to change(make it brighter) the scene so much i can without loosing the look too much.
I will test morphing because of render times. But in my older tests it didn't work all the time.
Curious if it will help here. Rendering the clouds in half HD and all the other parts in HD would be easier probably.

Looking at the later iterations against the first, it does look much better. All in all a amazing scene, though you know me, I love atmospherics TG. Lots I love about it, and lots I want to do when I have a better machine, or other things improve.

Yes Terragen is great from that aspect.
In other forums you can hear that the render engine regarding clouds-atmosphere is always praised too.
very cool image Kadri! Well done.
Thank you.
Love this!
:)
Thanks :)
really good !
Thank you.
Great render dear Kadri :)
Thank you :)
I like how the clouds are illuminated by the star.
Maybe a silhouette of a body or two mixed with the wreckage? ? :o
I don't usually like space renders but this one is really good.
Thank you guys.

That was and still is in my mind. Maybe i will add it to the animation if i can finish it.
