Some trig functions displace three Terragen spheres . Lots of PF driven translucency (21) and a tiny bit PF driven lum (0.06)
			
			
			
				Very effective and really nice! It's almost like subsurface scattering.
			
			
			
				Looks interesting.
			
			
			
				baby alien ? ^^ lol
			
			
			
				Very cool experiment ;)
			
			
			
				Wow that is really cool. Not your typical TG render :)
			
			
			
				Great stuff! 8)
			
			
			
				Nice :)
Is the soil also TG? I like that very much as well!
			
			
			
				Thanks all.
TU:  Yes all TG. A portion of the soil is planet surface with 3 fake sand/gravel sizes and the other portion is the surface of a displaced TG plane parallel with and a tiny bit below  the planet surface. Thus the distinct areas of different texture cutting in to each other.
