Hi,

my latest render for the german TerraGen contest:

Hope you like it.

I like it, but maybe increase the cloud scale or decrease edge sharpness on the main planet, and definitely increase the scales on the background (unless it's an image, in which case I recommend using a procedural starfield out of the box).

Hi,

thanks for your suggestions! It is indeed procedural :)

Hi there,

As I got some time I adjusted some details on the image.

C&C welcome.

Is the background a cloud layer? I would use Celesta or Stellarium to get a star background. This render is much better.

I still think you need to increase the main cloud fractal scales.
Also, I recommend using moodflow's starfield out of the box.

@TheBlackHole:
Haha, sorry I thought you were talking about the starfield  power fractal  :) That is what I increased.
I will try other techniques of a star field in upcoming projects  ;D
Thanks for your comments.

It's like there is an echo effect here...
