...the mysterious surface of Phobos...
I should know, 'cause I'm still pixeling on it very patiently...
apart from that I'm tryin' to understand 3D software

Re: Space Art
Very nice pitures John. Like them a lot.
What did you use for generating the fractals?

Re: Space Art
These were rendered in Vue.
The landscapes can be converted to a format usable in Celestia but I'm afraid I have not figured out how to port the atmospheric effects.

Re: Space Art
Great stuff!

that's the kind of pictures we ALL enjoy tremendously and so will outside visitors...

PS: @John: how about spending your hires Jupi a layer with moving bands of clouds as I always do. At high zoom this gives much softer, less photo-like looks.

Re: Space Art
Storm clouds between Bariloche and Buenos Aires used as proxies of the top of the Jovian atmosphere. I just nudged the color balance to make them less watery white (I matched their color to part of an image of Jupiter from space). As for the blue sky, it may well be such in the region where Raileigh scattering holds.

Re: Space Art
I saw this scene in a dream of mine a few years ago, which depicted parts of the opening to an alternate version of the 2012 movie. Yes, it's Delta Tri, what'dya expect?
I took this picture back in 2010, and that hot July evening, my place was literally the absolute most humid place on the planet at that time. More humid than even the Amazon Rainforest. That humid week was a lot of fun, I loved it so much! Again, Delta Tri impression.
Know that Nova Selene addon I uploaded to the CML? This is it. I probably should've positioned myself better so more of the trees at my place would be more in the pic.

Re: Space Art
Because I'm bored and I feel like being a show-off.
This was an attempt at editing a Celestia screenshot to make it look more realistic. Guess I got something that looks sorta like a sci-fi film screenshot instead. I think it still looks sort of nice.

Re: Space Art
I've made a few more space art images since my last post here. A few new ones and revisiting an old one.
All images clickable.
The view of a terraformed Moon from here on Earth.
Alien Skies....
Circumbinary Sunset.
The nuclear detonation involved in my sci-fi short story.
If Earth was a moon of Jupiter (with Jupiter in the habitable zone and the obligatory axial tilt for Earth to maintain an equatorial orbit and still have the seasons we all know and love).
