#25

here is the new planet that i edited in photoshop

on the right is the old 3ds max bump system

its really amazing it comes with more options and gives better results than the old usual thing

Hey, thanks for writing the story. It should work pretty well. Some ideas; since the earth is in a state of global environmental chaos, it should looks grey, dirty, hot, cold…something not “Green” and maybe the overall scene can be desaturated, kind of like looking a something covered with a lot of dust and so forth. good luck

#27

i like this 1 better…

#28

ill do some adjusting in photoshop next

Dude, this is a really cool concept!

That latest planet looks really nice. I definitely get the feeling of pollution. I also like your latest concept for the Earth link. I look forward to seeing this one progress.

Keep em coming!

here is a new ship
i call it
a floating world ship cause in the parts where the glass are, there will be cities
the big reactorthing is a engine that uses the cities pollution and wasted power to function

so the city it’s self is very clean…
