I tried this time something different, a rather low altitude planet view. Here it is quite difficult as I cannot manage to get continent with well define coastline.
No matter what I try, there are always too much fuziness around what should be the coastlines. So I leave this away for now.
So here there are just two layers of clouds to begin with.
To go farther I need some help from you.
Hello Antoine,
Others will be of more help with your nodes than I. But just a word on your comp. If you use a different aspect ratio such as 2.39 (for example) you will have a much more dynamic composition, more theatrical. So even though you are not yet happy with what you have, you would still have something worth showing. Perfect realism is a good goal, but when for whatever reason we don't find it, we should still have something to show after all our hours working. I guess my point is with a little dressing up of the image, you already will have something good for your (portfolio?).
