WC #88 - The Orrery

At last I finish an image for the weekend challenge in time. Here it is.

C&C welcome as usual.

I can’t see it…

Great Image Samir. Great feeling for color, although that blue saturn is a little misplaced IMHO. Fantastic work!

yea nice image
nice mood. I like the water very much

I love the image. My personal taste would be to have more light reflecting off the gems. I do like the light you have though :slight_smile:

Thanks for the comments everyone, and please do keep them coming, they are very useful.

>I can’t see it…

Must have been some temporary problem. Others have seen it so I assume it’s fine now. Hope you do see it, and let me know what you think.

Thanks for the lavish praise. Your encouragement is much appreciated. And about the blue saturn … :expressionless: what can I say? I agree with your opinion there. I still need to work on my sense of colour and texture … too “3d graphics” looking at the moment.

Thanks. That water was possibly the simplest of all the materials - a little NORred stucci texture and plenty of Ray-Tracing. I bow before the coding Gods. :wink:

Thankyou fellow Star Wars fan. I aggree about the lighting of the gems, especially looking at some of the other images for the challenge :o . I forgot to mention earlier that I also need to work on my materials and lighting … so what’s left that I don’t need to work on? I think I sort of have modelling figured out . %|

Once again thanks for all the comments.

nice
