Description
Scene: An exploration team of two exit their rover and enjoy a beautiful sunset on the planet Eve-347 IV.

Vessel: USCSS Prometheus; Heliades-class space exploration vehicle.

A Poser model, the fuselage has no textures so I had to shade it all and weather it with just the Iray shaders. The rigging and morphs work out of the box with DAZ Studio .

Credits. Russell Tawn the mesh designer and Sando for the Poser rigged/textured version.

The scene was created with this DAZ Studio Mars product .

Update: Feb, 17, 2016:

Used a better UV mapped, textured, and rigged cargo bay pod.

Added haze, atmosphere to the render.

Update: Feb, 13, 2016: This is a new updated render.

Fixes:

1) The Prometheus was not up to scale.

2) The ships exterior lights now contain glare/bloom. They look much better.

3) The lighting now makes sense and it is following, when possible, official aircraft navigation lighting. Port side lights: Red, Starboard side lights: Green, etc.

4) The cockpit lights were redone as they were reflecting too much on the glass.

5) I added the Cargo Pod. I created simple UV maps and rigged it to open and close front and back doors and struts move up and down.

Update:
I turned on the bloom effect (very low settings) in the Iray render engine and used a Photoshop Kodak camera filter to bring out the colors. It is a huge improvement.
I, also, added better exploration suits to the two explorers (better than the tactical suits) with lighter colors. They are clearer in the scene and do a much better job reflecting the sun light.
