ALIEN

[Redwolf]

Made a rough model of the Alien ship, but will have to redo it if or when I make a close up scene, I have no idea what the back of it or the top of it looks like.
As for the terrain, well no matter how dark i made it, its supposed to be a dirty shade of grey, it came out white, must be enviro light and sun light colour settings.
There are 3 cloud layer here at low level and one cirrus at hi level, I havent a clue where the 2 cumulous layers have gone.
CC welcome and/or tips

Nice project! Keep it going.  - Bill .

Here are some reference shots to help you in your goal.

thanks Al
I had to redo the model as the left arm was protruding skywards, I got it as near as i could to the way it should look.
The terrain is just an ordinary P/F and covered with huge fake stones with a surface layer on the colour and a powerfractal added as a child.
Four cumulos cloud layers added and a few lightsources and 2 suns coloured grey, purple and brown.
Render time a 30 minutes at .5 quality and colour adjustment in PS

Nice  The last one looks much better. Maybe you could use wide format .

Kadri.

[Redwolf]

was thinking of that, plus the planet added.

Well this is the finished version of the ALIEN world. I dont think I will carry on with this now or better it. Perhaps i could have detailed the planet a bit more, or decreased the lightsource....

Stick a wee light behind the camera, dude! It'd be nice to see some foreground detail that fades away into the distance towards the ship. This is nice and a good progression. Just needs more near-camera detail, I think.

Erie, the clouds needs that whispy look. Surface needs more light here and there. Good overall.   

[Redwolf]

will try the light behind the camera later, gonna have to render it overnight as it took 10 hours.

its looking pretty good , i'm glad someones doing a Aliens render, that's one of my favorite series

i'll think do one with the Wayland-Yutani atmosphere processor sometime....

[Redwolf]

will need some good reference photos for that one, in the film its all brurry due to "atmospherics"
