Starhawk model by DAZ (I replaced the landing gear with a self made one),
the peeing guy is a free rigged model by turbosquid (SWAT_guy), that could easily be posed,
added a helmet taken from another free model,
the planetary ring is an imported plane with a texture map using Ulco's method described here:
http://www.planetside.co.uk/forums/index.php/topic,15757.60.html
(see Dune's second comment).

I assume there is a toilet in the ship, but I liked the idea of the pilot going outside.
It was kind of weird creating the pee models and the shader... :-[ :-[ :-[

sometimes cg stinks ;-)

Not in this case, I like that picture a lot!

Oshyan

Hah, creative, funny, and well executed! The shadow from the rings seems "wrong" though somehow? Maybe I'm making false assumptions about the lighting...

Hannes

Thank you guys.
Actually the shadow of the ring is from another hidden textured plane at the very same place with a b/w mask only to cast the shadow.
The original ring has a water shader like on Ulco's example image. Unfortunately this plane casts a full square shadow, so I disabled "cast shadows" and used another plane for the shadow. It's maybe a bit hard, but the placement should be correct.
I could try a crop render without it...

Hannes

OK, I rendered the crop region without the shadow. It didn't look right to me, so I mixed it in Photoshop, so that the shadow is there, but less prominent.

lol!  This is a great pic - love the rocks and lighting :)

Great and funny

We have a proverb here that says something like :
pee in the wind cleans the teeth (or like Hannes, keep your helmet)

You can almost hear the splash ...striking work Hannes.


fleetwood

Very nice. Could be an outtake from the film Oblivion.

Hannes

 ;D now that you mentioned that, you're right.
Weird that characters almost never pee in movies.


MGebhart

Sweet.

You made me laugh.

Thanks,

Really nice picture. The thing that bothers me in a lot of these SciFi scenes is having a lot of angularly large celestial bodies so close together. This condition would be so unstable that it wouldn't last very long in astonomical time and they would soon crash into eachother and coalesce.
