Terra Firma

[today]

A relatively quick render of the ship of lights in orbit of Terra.. the planet actually was the part that took the longest, it took forever to get it to look halfway convincing... had to kill almost all of the specularity as it just didn't work out favorably with the image I was using..

The new textures for the ship of lights are actually pretty simple, just a handful of procedurals and some edge transparency..

[today]

In case anyone is wondering why the planet is Terra as opposed to some other generic planet... the answer is simple, 'Terra Firma' is a good name for an image

I like the effect .. almost like a Extra Dimension effect on the Ship of light
