Hi everyone, here`s a one day doodle.
two very small fractal terrains intertwined and a PF impressionistic sky.
I should do a lot more with the mid- and foreground but, that has to wait `til another time.
As always - interested in your thoughts.
CHeers, Klaus
Pretty! :)
It's very cool already, lighting is very nice, I like the peak. I wouldn't do things to the foreground that would distract too much.
nice!
Oooo, very,very nice.
hey, thank you all very much!
As lighting, mood , and compositional study it is probably done, or is it?
As I mentioned before, I am a little bit out of ideas for this for now...
Anyways, I attached two pics which show the Atmosphere and Background nodes and settings.
The terrains actually only cover a area of about 100x100m. The rest of the planet is flat.
That is why the sense of scale of the peaks is completely gone when changing the camera position.
But this and the procedural sky lead to very moderate render times - only about 8 minutes with 0.6/6.

Well I'd say it's a success...well done and inspirational screen grabs, gives me ideas...
And what does a kugelkopf image resemble? Used in world background..... :)
Thank you very much, bobbystahr. Looking forward to what you come up with.
luvsmuzik, it is the simply name of the original image I used to create the image I use as a mask shader and a image shader in this scene.
A lot of Photoshop Filters and layering of the original image (a orthographic view of a type writer "kugelkopf") ended up to become the "kugelkopf_00b_s.jpg".
The attached render has Primary Rays of the Atmosphere node disabled.
The dark blue grain comes from the kugelkopf_00b_s.jpg in the Background node,
which gives the Atmo the blue-ish grainy tone. The image is sized down a lot to get the grainy effect.
The large dark shadows on the terrain are also coming from the kugelkopf_00b_s.jpg image.
This time the image is enlarged and used as a mask in the Base Colour node.
There is also some luminosity with different colours used in the image nodes.
Is that it? Or did I miss something... :o

Thank you Klaus. As usual you have come up with something very unique. :)
fascinating :)
Thank you both!
