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

So when I first looked at this picture I just thought "oh is that it?" because when you first look at it it simply looks ordinary and "lifeless" it lacks the sparkle that I usually associate with taliban's (alyn) work.
But wahey I then enlargened it and it took on a life of its own . Whats bst in my opinion about this picture is the care that has been taken to create the craters of the moon.
The earth is also well done I like the shades of colours used for the earth its not the "usual" green and blue its like dirty (erm cant explain) and this simply enhances what oart of the picture is about (i.e the comet thats about to destroy earth)
The only thing that I dont like about this picture is the star on the left hand side, I think it doesnt need to be in there
