Magnetar Doodle

[WAS]

Just a quick idea I had in my head I wanted to try and express with Terragen.

Quick, but very nice!

[Hannes]

Cool! Quite unusual.

I wanted to get some more shape out of the magnetic fields, but when I applied altitude offsets with normals from the planet, things got really weird. Lol. I also tried the pinch/bulge function to try and pinch everything into the poles but that made everything weird as well. Lol Oh well.

Thanks, guys.

That`s nice! Very different from the "usual" photorealistic stuff.

CHeers, Klaus

Excellent!

[Kadri]

Interesting. What method did you use Jordan?

This is far more subtle than the illustrations I have seen of same subject on astronomy sites.

Yeah, that is be design. It's supposed to be a cooking magnetar loosing it's magnetic force, and most the activity happening at the poles.

The idea, regardless of how inaccurate, was it would someday only leave behind it's heavy elements in an amalgamated sphere that then becomes a rogue planetoid.
