The Core

[WAS]

I don't think I ever shared this WIP. This was one of the many ideas I hashed for the Travelers contest. Early quick WIPs to see if my idea was possible.

Looks good.

[Jo Kariboo]

Wow! It is very original and beautiful!!!

Great image, definitely worth perusing further. Very original concept. How bright is that light source?

Thanks everyone. I think I want to little more basic with that ceiling texture. I can't get a good falloff from glow to stone in some areas, and boy that bothers me lol

But I kinda want to do a biome simulation. I like where the second image is going. Maybe a couple more layers of soft clouds with a circular break in the center where there is more burn off and ambient hear, maybe some rain cloud aim on. The lower cloud layers. 

I wanted to do vegetation but I honestly got nothing that really feels right. So maybe some different grass mixes. 

I don't really have the motivation right now as I'm actually trying to fight with TreeIt to get some basic alien looking trees for the derelict scene.

Oh yeah, wanted dripping lava coming down in places with some inverted erosion and flows but that was totally not working right haha

Great idea and render!

[raymoh]

This reminds me of "Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne. Great!

[Dune]

Very nice 'cave' render. Good work!

[zaxxon]

Wow Jordan, those are pretty special. Both are eye-catching; the first stands by itself as a complete image to me, the second looks to be a great start on a more elaborate biome. Nice work!

[Hannes]

Yes, very unusual indeed. Great images. I'd love to see more of that.

[mhaze]

Fantastic! let's have more work like this. Very inspiring!

[Jo Kariboo]

I believe like the majority of the comments it would be nice to make several more images of this original concept.

I just may. I am doing a new scene right now trying to reproduce the core scene from Raised by Wolves, but more looking to be higher scales. I found the scene they did look really small but I liked how it looked. But I've already discovers a better lighting model mixing a hidden luminosity sphere with a light source. Where the core colour sphere is not visible to rays (so unaffected by the lightsource).
