ok folks...as promised here is version 2...still not 100% happy with this...i may have to deconstruct some of the node network and rebuild?...added some atmo tweaks including a low level cumulus layer for the wind blown sand. also the usual contrast/saturation plus fine sharpening etc pw from exr file in ps...thanks for dropping by!

Beautiful atmosphere, I like the dust blowing in the wind! The furthest right spire looks strange still though, almost as if it has spiral steps going up it!

thanks Deepdish!....I am still tinkering with this, though it is quite difficult to get the displacements to do what I want!!!, I will keep you updated when the nest one renders!

I like the rock formation on the second from right
not sure why though, something about that shape.

Hi Inky,

Cool shapes, and looking like a nice image, for sure. I think the spires would look better without the terracing. Maybe if you want to keep that horizontal effect try it with some subtle stratification of colours or slightly texture variation rather than displacement perhaps ??!

Regards,

Jo
