In Memory of Arthur C. Clarke...

My tribute to Mr. Clarke. I thought I keep it simple and do the thing about spaceart I like the most. An alien planet. One of those worlds he could have described.

How do you do your cloudmaps?

I guess like all the others. I have one high res cloudmap (as far as I know the only cloudmap on the whole net) in 8000x4000. From that cloudmap I generate all the maps I need. Cloning, erasing and so on. Sorry, not hand-painted (I wish I where that good and patient ;))

I recognise this cloudmap in spaceart very often and I sure hope that someone out there has a good heart and uploads (Hi NASA-people, we spaceartists could really... I mean REALLY... need some more high res cloudmaps) some more of these. :D

that reflection of the sun on the water makes a world of difference :wow: The clouds are great, do you duplicate the clouds layer and emboss it to get a bump effect? Or do you just duplicate it, make it black and put it off to the side a little to simulate their shadow casted on the planet?...Clouds make all the difference I reckon :nod:

Why is delivering things in a car called "Shipment" while delivering things by boat is called "Cargo" ?
The whole planet is 3d. There's a layer for the surface and ocean with a map for reflectivity, two layers of clouds with bumpmaps (the cloudmaps throw their own shadows) and one layer for atmosphere. It's rendered with Vray in 3dsmax. Two lights, one reflection and one for the whole thing. This way I don't have to "fake" anything. All I have to do is working in really big maps to get all the detail I want.
