Title: WIP: Burning Planet
Post by: nvseal on April 14, 2007, 08:35:24 PM
A little piece I've been working on for a couple of days. It's a taken a lot of tweaking to even get this far but, even though it's going in the right direction, it's still nit quiet where I want it. For one thing I want lava to have a more "liquidy" type feel to it and I want the clouds to be wispy and smoke like instead of being so thick. So any comments or critics? I'm thinking about putting this one in the designpaths contest when it get's done.  :P

BTW, this render was done at detail setting 0.5 with GI set to 2. Atmosphere and cloud settings where also below their respective 0.5 quality settings. This was only a test to check if things where working well together.

The luminous lava surfaces make the clouds look extremely cool. I'm not sure whether they clouds even need to be made less dense, although it does look a bit odd on the dark side that so much of the lava is visible, given how cloudy the lit side of the planet is. Also it seems like there ought to be an atmosphere given all the gasses that such volcanic activity would produce. Probably a fairly thick and polluated-looking atmosphere at that (yellowish?). Nice work so far though.

Very cool lighting and the clouds look perfect.  I love the glow look.  Great job.  How did you setup the lava look?

Okay, so here is the final shot and the tgd. I've added an atmosphere and done some other tweaks. Enjoy.  :)

nvseal, I like both, but especially like the one just above the surface.  That so looks like something in a movie.

I know this is asking a lot, but would anyone be willing to render a high quality, higher res and unedited version of this for the designpaths contest? I don't know what it looks like at higher res so it might look crummy for all I know (could anyone tell me or post a cropped render).

I'll give it a shot if you want. How large do you want?
