Title: Moonshine
Post by: dandelO on August 29, 2010, 04:14:35 PM
I see some nasty colour-banding, I always have this problem in this type of scene.

Anyhow, just a big Moon shot. 1600px

Cheers! :)

Nice look to this. The banding might clear up with less atmosphere haze, maybe...

if you have photoshop il give you a tip
load in the alpha mask onto the full colour image then use selective colour and selct the sky so it masks out the clouds now disable the alpha image to reveal the colour image underneath and use the smudge tool to smudge and blur the banded areas its what i do when i have colour banding ;D

real nice! I was thinking about doing a nighttime shot only yesterday, a couple of questions...
Is the moon an object? If so, how did you get the moon to be facing the right way?
how did you get the halo?
cheers

Cheers, all. On my phone here so, I'll be brief, it's no fun typing on a keypad. :( Jack: cheers, blurring the sky would be my usual course too but I'd then lose the stars, which are rendered, not post worked. Jason: the moon is a TG planet with a larger, invisible, weak sun behind it. I used a 'through camera' projected image, rescaled and placed, via the shader preview window, for colour and a little luminosity. That's about it! :)
