UPDATE: i finall fixed the light problem that this had. The new thing is the blue lit part of the upper planet. Funny that it took me over a year to decide to fix it

Full View Highly Recommended, as usual.

So here it is, the final version of Cosmic Daylight.

As many of you can see, this one includes my two styles of Science Fiction graphics: the realistic one, and the not-so-realistic one.

What i dont like about it: considering that im no master when it comes to 3d modeling, i think that the satellite isnt that impressive. but still think that its not too shabby, and its a nice addition to the whole piece.

im also not very happy with the blue planet. i really need to learn to map (texturize) a bit better, but i think it looks better than plain blue ball (No, those arent clouds, thats ice on the surface, btw).

I think particle systems are fun, and i thank *agarash for teaching me the basics. (Big Grin)" title=" (Big Grin)" border="0" />

I took a few suggestions from the Close Up i submitted about a week ago:

change the shadow in the (red) planet: done

more color to the whole piece: done

more stars: done

so thats it for now, i really enjoyed making this, i got to experiment with a lot of settings, which is the only way to learn and have fun with graphics.

Now i know what to apply for my next work (Big Grin)" title=" (Big Grin)" border="0" />

Alright i believe that i need to explain a bit about the "satellite"

its not a satellite, its a deep space telescope.
we all know that satellites done have boosters like that, but who said that this picture is supposed to be realistic?
also........the "satellite" is going to go through some rough area ahead.....full of rocks.
also it helps balance the colors a little, and it brings some more attention to it.
