Space Nebula

[Dune]

They're absolutely wonderful! I can really understand your fascination with these structures. What depth of cloud do you use? V2 of v3? I guess the first. Maybe if you use smaller clouds, rendertime will be less as well.

Thank you Dune, the structures are truly fascinating (can't get enough!).
The main base of the Gateway Nebula has been rendered with 3 Cloud Layers of V3 with 3 Light Sources embedded.

I use Denis Sirenkos method to render them. Mostly I use a few of the renderings and mix them together.
I just try out different methods until I end up with a good and pleasing result (see Screnshot with marked layers).

Oh, yes, I now remember it's a Photoshop collage of different renders, and not a one-go (as I was trying a while ago). Thanks for your explanation.
