Planets

[I.F.S.]

My first attempt to create some distant planets, as seen through a telescope :

(created with Shape3D plug-in)

heyy, not bad.

Your getting the basic thing, just

practice, practice, and practice!

I know what a planet looks like through a telescope and these are two excellent images showing that. Great textures on both. Nice :wink:

[A Fleeting Glimpse]

I have to agree with Goonfella , thats how they look... good work

[I.F.S.]

Thanks for your nice comments. Very much appreciated.

Here's a final one:

they all look too unsharp

try the sharpen+ plugin

It is meant to be like that, read opening post.

Nice job , i wander if you could make a small reflection style forground to show its glass from a telescope :idea:

[Goonfella]

Lovely work. Will you be going on to create the whole solar system? Saturn with it`s rings always makes for a good image I find.

[I.F.S.]

These are, of course, imaginary planets, not real, existing ones.

I'dlove to do a saturn-like planet with a ring, if only I knew how to draw rings.

Thanks for pointing out the tut. 8)

Here's my first try. (not completely satisfactory, but it's a start... )

Or here is another way of doing it -

I use both depending what mood I`m in.

Enjoy.

Excellent first go. I see you lined up the rings properly relative to the planet. I`ve seen so many just add rings at any angle without thinking about the bigger picture. Well done. :wink:

Nice telescopic effect planets, Saturn is beautiful, you just don't need the white bright highlighted spot, it makes it like a small varnished woody planet.

I know, I forgot to turn of the 'highlight' :oops:
