Pure
Cycles - 1000 samples plus a little denoise
Wrinkle, Wrinkle, Little Star
Just a quick and dirty one this weekend. I won’t have time over the weekend to do anything and my work was driving me crazy so I needed to just have some fun again with Blender. I’ve been busting through The Expanse this week, and, since I am in space mode, a Mars kind of idea was the easiest to punch out quickly. It’s also the first time that I used some real volume, not that one can see much of it, but it helps to add some haze.
Initially I had some serious banding from the denoiser, so I re-rendered at 1000 samples and added just a touch of the denoised image back over using Lighten blend mode. Much happier now.
