Post your favorite planet or something else render, enjoy
I don't know where these came from, but they rock













A little pimp'n for my up coming campaign (fully voice acted!!!) :thepimp:

[Ransom]

Those planet renders are amazing. Especially that greenish 'standing alone' one.

On a side note, you spelt 'redemption' wrong

[jdjtcagle]

Did I really??
Edit: ok, fixed it

[Fineus]

Moved to art forum.

Very nice work btw

This has been and still is my favourite planet that I've rendered. It just... came out exactly the way I wanted it to.

[Turnsky]

ah, vasuda...

this is mine, actually it's a piece of fanart.. a planet known as "kaerwyn" if you read up on the history, you'll know why it's title is "the etheric"

The top one is probably something that a person did for Halo.

They got it completely wrong then. Unless they were drawing one of the other installations 343 GS mentions

Shame you had to use the Atlantis there - the overtiling/blockyness is really noticeable in that pic.

Erm...I'm looking for good tutorials on how to render nice and realistic planets. Any suggestions?

I mean, when I render a planet, it looks fake because I do not know how to make the atmosphere appear as a blurry halo at the edges of the planet.

Setekh, that could sooo be an in game shot, you should try getting back into the rendering rut and make some backgrounds, that planet and the background (minus the stars applyed to a background pof) would be a great bonus to the comunity

[NeoHunter]

Some help here?

As a side note: Halo never orbited a planet.

It was floating between the gas-giant Threshold and its moon Basis. (IIRC).

And how the hell did it stay there unless it was orbiting Threshold?

Unless you're basically restating my point that Halo wasn't a ring encircling Threshold and just used the wrong word when you said orbit.

Any collection of FS2 planet images?

[jdjtcagle]

I couldn't find any...

When I get photoshop down, I'm going to create different Biographies for freespace systems, for different theories and different possibilities...  even though I'll be pulling stuff out of my arse.
