Title: First three space scenes *updated*
Post by: RArcher on January 16, 2008, 12:57:15 AM
First time messing around with space scenes.  I really like how fast these render compared to some of the scenes I've tried to do recently.  These were a complete rethinking of scales for me, normally I am trying my hardest to scale things down down down...  Here everything has to be far bigger than I expected.  The nebula are a modified version of Pachalmars brilliant clip file posted in the file sharing section. Thanks for taking a look!

Very nice work :).  I really like the painted and slightly stylized feel that your images tend to have.  Did you do much postwork on these?

If those are your first, you're off to a great start. :) I think I like the second one better... 'cause of the highlights on the terrain.  ;D

Very nice work.  Like o_b, I appreciate your postwork as well.  Good look overall.

Thanks very much for the comments.  Not too much postwork on these ones.

Done well, no doubt.  It really looked like there was more postwork.  Great job in TG2, then.  Great outer space offerings.

I like both of them. Good composition and the Nebula look really good.

Added a third image, I misplaced my continents and lost my cirrus layer somewhere when moving the camera  ;D, but it still turned out OK.
