Mars Landscapes #1

Hello all.
So these are my first real renders with Blender and first post here. I’m currently learning Gaea, Blender and Cycles.

About me:
I’m a CG artist and author for animation, writing and drawing too.
I used to work with Softimage (formaly known as XSI) before, almost 20 years now. Since Autodesk killed it in 2014, i won’t spend time and learn software from them unless i must professionnaly.
So Blender will be my new core software for 3D now. I tried it a bit ten years ago and now i’m really impressed with the actual version. So… Long live Blender!

Nice work. You are making a good choice using Blender. I used to work with Studio Max, and nowadays Blender is a charm working with.

Hello. Some commentators on Reddit have quite rightly pointed out that Mars, the red planet, is not so red and that it changes color depending on the place and time of day. So I wanted to try this. Blender, Gaea and photoshop here. I’m using the free version of Gaea, so i must make the best of 1K maps.

Hello Blenders,

I started to make larger versions of these pictures for printing.

It is still an attempt to capture the colours and light of Mars. Although it is certainly not realistic, and quite poor in terms of geological modelling, I found these images interesting so I am sharing them here.

this last one, the most “subtle”, seems to me to be the most successful in terms of colour.

There is also an unsubtle one :slight_smile:
