Description
I can't work on this anymore... my brain might just leak out of my ears if i tried any harder. So here it is. Goodbye.Getting a nice moon texture has probably been the most difficult thing in terragen i've ever had to do..... it seems easy, but it's a little devilish, and a lot of playing around with surface maps ensued. The space scene is similar style to annihilate, however i'm improving a lot since then. Not filling every corner of the piece with something, leaving some areas blank... can't say i'm not trying. Anyway the most difficult part was making the earth look like it's about to go boom. I used that texture once more, except i added a lot more, the lava on the earths surface is a lot more controlled, i've overlayed some more textures to make it seem like it is going boom, and everything's a nice ominous orange to evoke the feeling of imminant doom. Nice huh.
But anyway, bleugh, fact time!
---------
Stats
- Terragen pre-render time = 3 hours
- Actual render time = 5minutes.
- Post render time = 1hour.

That's really positively stunning. But I think the planet with the ring is flat and also the big planet--you could have applied the spherize filter and then it would do. Don't hate me cuz I said that I'm not that good myself. Everything else is Awesome.

The title is so emotional, it's so powerful. It's capturing, and links directly to the image. You've done an OUTSTANDING job on this one... The comments, moon pieces, everything. Well done again

im really glad to see you progressing so well...but as with all things i think you need to work on the airbrushing.

I agree with whoever said about the moon needing some light at the edge and then another comment about the two meteor over the moon. Also, I beleve the meteor crashing into the earth seems a little .... idunno... transparent? it just seems a bit off. I like this one very much, but it's not a fav, sorry.

Such brilliance and detail! So clear. GREAT PIECE.

Wow...
Well, whatever makes you happy, but for me, it looks so right. The orange color and the oncoming doom it brings. Never thought of it that way.

Great job! It reminds me of Tools song Aenema! if you've heard it you'd know what I mean, and if you haven't I suggest you listen to it...

I think that you should have something in the background other than black (not much, just something to fill it up). Apart from that, a superb picture!

Incredible! How do you do rings? I've gotta know so I can start using them on my worlds.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
The nebulae are really great looking. So is the planet with the ring around it, and the front, centermost asteroid. The texture of the other planet is pretty damn cool looking... especially the cracked lava surface.
I just don't know what to make of the... moon, did you say it was? at the front, bottom of the pic. I think it needs some light around it's rim. It's texture looks really detailed, especially for Terragen, but it's just so hard to see!
*BTW... if you can get your hands on a copy of Bryce 5, you might find it helpful. You can create planets to much more personalized specifications much more easily. And you can make atmospheres for the planets even easier! It seems like a pretty overwhelming program from the outset, but after a few goes, you get the hang of it.
Anyway... good job! (It's better than anything I can do

It's alright, although I don't like the sky or comets - they could really be improved imo. Regards,

Thats awesome work, man. That starfield of yours is spectacular-the best i've ever seen. and the maticulous care taken on the earth with the cracks in the crust, its amazing. You sure have a handle on a horde of amazing programs there.
