Hi all,
This is a borealis test (no postwork), render with technology preview version.
(http://www.euphorie.org/vrac/terragen/borealis0005-013base.jpg)
I was inspired by this picture (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071009.html), and some clipfiles found here, on planetside's forum (stars (http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=2482.0) / clouds deformation (nvseal I think), thanks to the authors). There is 3 clouds layers (3 colors), land surface is black, vegetation is convert to black, sun at -3 elevation, no enviro light, render with no shadow.
You can see other renders (postworked renders) here (http://www.planete-terragen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2251) (french forum).

oh very nice....I really like the water and clouds....although the backlight is too bright...
This looks great,love the reflection's
This is a beautiful job. Well done.
Excellent!!
well done
This is very good work! Never knew this could be recreated so well by TG2 :-) Great job on that!
Can't you add an additional light which cast shadows on the terrain and doesn't affect the sky. This way you can create shadows on the terrain, but I can imagine that coloring your surfaces with this lighting setup is a hell of job :)
Excellent render, you got it pretty close to the reference photo. I actually prefer the cloud in your render better. ;D
Thanks to all for replys. :)
@ Tangled-Universe (please excuse my bad english) : Maybe it's possible to do that, I think it's possible... But I'm working on a Pentium III 1go workstation, and I'm trying to limit render time by doing a very simple scene... So I clamp a lot, mask a lot, limit octave's values, and don't use GI or shadows. The choice of the "pure" black come from that's situation. ;)
Beautiful work! This is one of the prettiest images I've seen in a really long time.
Good job. :) I can almost see those colors swirling around doing there nightly dance.
Now that really is something else :o
Wonderful work!
Great duplicate of that shot! I like the way you've incorporated several different tones into the image to give a sense of calm.
very nice. 8)
Nice job! 8)
This is a beautiful image. I think you've reproduced the aurora effect probably better than any other TG image I've seen, so congratulations on that. I am curious how this would look with more of the render options enabled, on a faster system. Hopefully you can upgrade soon. ;)

Thank you all. :)
I'll try to improve this picture... Here a render with non-black textures :

I don't know if it's better, I'm not sure of that (black is good for masking imperfections). ;)
By the way, now I'll try to add some shadows and some colored influences from atmosphere on surfaces (maybe with snow land surfaces, that will be better for this test)(somewhere I saw a Volker's render of procedural land colored by clouds, it was very great, I'm looking for this topic, if someone seen it).
But, it will not easy... Since two days I had a lot of render problems, too many work for my old computer. :)
nb : My apologizes (again), I speak english like a drunk dog. :/
i prefered black one ;)
Your English is fine and your artwork has been beautiful. This deserves a HQ render. :)
I prefer black version too...
I agree with seth93 and dh.
Here you'll find volker's thread:http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=2654.0
Thank you j meyer. So it was your thread... Very interesting. I bookmark it! :)
I agree, black looks better.
;D you're welcome,hope you can use it somehow.
I'll try, I'll try, on an other scene. :D
I too like the black a little better. But I'd say the stars are a nice touch to have in there.

Can't do better than that with this porject. Thanks a lot to planetside team for « Image of the Week » choice. :)
Congratulations, Chinaski!
I think the first one is the best, I like the pov and the black silhouettes(;
Yes, the first one turned out to be better after all, great work again :-)
Congratulations with this "image of the week", well deserved!
