I wanted to get back into creating planets within terragen 2 I got a bit carried away ;D
everything except for the star field is done in terragen 2 the trench was done with a painted shader and a massive heightfiled generated within terragen 2 the background terrain is a power fractal.
a 9 hour render I think due to the heavy displacements
postwork was done in photomatix and photoshop
enjoy
p.s
Umek is one of my favourite dj's so i devoted this image to him ;D

marvelous
I'm not a fan of sci-fi renders usually, except for when it's quality like this. Very nice work, impressive scales and depth. Neat second planet as well. Great job!
Martin
thanks seth a tu!
I now realize tg2 planets give your image way more depth then postworked ones I don't know how but they just do!
wow... really nice!
good composition.
wow :o :o :o Good Job !!
Ah, so this time this is actually mostly done in TG2 :) Lovely! :-*
Super concept - really well done :D
It's ok to say wow in this forum isn't it. Well I'm gonna say it anyway: "WOW".
This is a beautifully balanced scene; the inclusion of the post starfield compliments (too often in space/sci-fi scenes it overpowers) the scene well.

I'll take up the "WOW"!! The trench is beautifully done and looks just impressive...! I love the scale of it all, perhaps the moon/planet is way too big to be realistic and all. But honestly...who cares? We're not in the solarvoyager forums here ;D
Awesome. Maybe you should contact nirokugraphic to find out how he got an in in the sci fi rendering business? Seriously, if you're not in the industry already, you could be making money at this.

thanks guys lolz im not in the industry yet I dont really want to either :-\
@tumasch
Charon is a similar scale in pluto's sky it takes up about half the sky
Great work ... :) this is what I'm talking about! The "industry" needs to step up and pay attention. How long did this take you to create? 9 hours to render is not an impossible amount for the "industry" to deal with especially as it would be run ion a render farm, split into sections and rendered in a long lunch.... :)
More high quality work like this please ......

~ I'll prolly get of my rant soon lol ~
Umek rocks...I have several of his 12"s and some very cool cd's and mp3 mixes.....this render is awesome also!!!
how VERY nice! You're an excellent artist, uhm, "wetbanana". ;D
Cheers,
Frank

Hi
Outstanding SF-Mood!
ciao
Naoo
This completely rocks! :o Want to see more of this stuff!
Awesome. Would prefer it with less sharpening, perhaps. Is the upper moon's edge aliased like that in the original render, or is that because of sharpening/postwork? If it's in the render, "anti-aliasing bloom" might have helped.

I too prefer the unsharpened version. Great scene regardless though. :)

Unsharpened looks better to me, but either way it's a very nice scene!
Unsharpened definitely. I think it looks more natural. ???
Dude (or dudess) your stuff just always is so awesome. GREAT job.
Cool scifi picture.
Level of scale and depth is top notch. The glow on the thrusters is pleasing to my eye.
