Well,

restarting with surfaces and longing for a finished scene ,-)

I really like the displacements and surfacing, great color variations, looks very very good.
The only crit I have is that I miss a sense or reference for scale. The clouds suggest the formations are huge but on the other hand I can easily imagine it is a 2m wide gritty and moss-covered rock.

Back in 2005 I made a pictures' serie called Noscalé --- by meaning of no scale ... it is of course something to critique, on the other hand to push imagination.
Thanks Martin for your input.

Volker, your terrain textures are marvelous.  I see that's what you were shooting for - the terrain texturing (displacements and coloring), which is well done.  Was this rendered with the latest Alpha?

[Volker Harun]

It is the same version that is available for registered users.

Yep, I might be quite good in texturing an available scene ... but keep it to that ,-)

I remember one of your first scenes...what was it called?  Something about a horn...  That was excellent.  I've noticed you have a knack for finding the right point of view, as well.

[Edit - It was called Hornblower and I can't find the actual image.  It was cool.  It won the internal contest we had - http://forums.planetside.co.uk/index.php?topic=948.msg9177#msg9177 ]

Very intricate surface and coloring. It reminds me of 'fool's gold'. You've done a fantastic work here.

Nothing less than I would expect from Volker.

Thanks for backslapping ...

@Calico: I remember Hornblower ... it was not easy, as there was that 'No Postwork' ,-) I was very much inspired by the works of LutzB and Rich2 from renderosity.
Sadly that scene seems to be a victim of data-loss.

I think you shared an "unsurfaced" version of the file here somewhere.

I have been trying to do something similar, where the details up close are the same as the details at the horizon - so you lose your perspective of scale. But I am a beginner and have not succeded so far!

I just did not do it on purpose ;-) As most of my pictures I start with an idea and end up with something completely different :-)

The terrain shared in my 'Junk'-Folder was an ongoing project. The one that won the contest was a view from top without sky, showing a formation like in the link above.
