Description You have no idea how cold it can be in space. We orbit the only frozen star left in the universe. When the star went nova, billions of years ago, it froze itself. We have absolutely no idea how, but either way, it's damn cold now. Ageon used to be a lively planet. Now, frozen tundras cover it's surface. From our standpoint, we can see four things: The blue giant, which was also chilled down during the "deep freeze", as is the star's subzero temperatures referred to, and the giant's moon, and the planet Crete. Crete was named after an island on Earth, a distant planet, many thousands of light years away. Primitive life used to exist there, but now there is nothing. Crete, a water planet, has ice flows all over the surface of it. And closest to us, are the massive chunks of ice that ring our planet, they appear black silhouetted against the bright light of the sun. It will be an eon before a shred of warmth bathes our pathetic planet. For now, we are stuck, haunted by this Ice Age, and all it has to bring us.

Alright, here it is... Ice Age.

Put simply, view full or you will miss all the details.

Two terragen renders combined, Photoshop file over 200 MB, new planet textures, a ton of time on the gas giant. Geez.

I spent a ton of time on this. I started it before I went to Texas, and I only finished it yesterday. I couldn't wait to get this one submitted, since I have been waiting for a full 7 hours to actually get it in. Anyways, I really really really hope you like this one. I spent alot of time and effort into it.

Nameless-Designer [2006-08-30 17:20:22 +0000 UTC]

much much better, this one has a greater sense of depth than your previous ones. U really start to look at all the details, the only thing that dosent fit much is the terrain, its to flat and monotone, dosent add any interest.
still uve improved keep going this way

Really great, but i just want to say one thing, the planet's shadow side does look like it's partially see through, other than that great work, and a great idea.
