TG4 Beta vs older renders (TG2/TG3)

[Mohawk20]

Here are some old renders I redid with the new bloom and starburst effects as only differences:

TG2vs TG4. In TG4 I disabled the clouds for faster result:
[attach=2] [attach=1]

Fake stones shader used as a mask to make holes in Planet1, with a sun inside. TG2 vs TG4:
[attach=3] [attach=4]

Very cool tests...Love the first one, much improved with just those simple additions. Did a Holey Planet myself but hadn't thought to try it and now I don't need to, heh heh heh, well done.

I remember the first image. How different and better the new version looks. Nice.

Really like that tg4 one. Rather nice effect I'd say.
Maybe a little discription of how you made the Lightning look right?

The lightning is an object someone once uploaded here, which I gave a luminescent texture. Under it is a light sphere. The new light bloom effects make it look 'right'.

So much better in TG4!

Once I started on an animation of terraforming, changing a mars-like planet into an earth like planet. First phase was to hit it with a special beam, star trek like.

Here are the 2 avi's.
Still needs a lot of work, bit it's definitely improving.

Nice effects.

Dito! Nice!

As I remember the flash was a postwork-effect, right?
