Small moon circling the sky called Monte Cristo, in a verty peaceful Orion galaxy

I wanted to make something different then fractals and I got inspired by some images from my friends and came up with this manipulations, since space is not my genre....feel unsure how I did

Perhaps that shadow up front is a bit dark, after all there seems to be air on that world and should thus be ambient light. But it's breathtaking, so it's a

nevertheless

*Fiery-Fire Feb 9, 2010 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hmm, yes Bryce is very strange this way, the shadow was rendered right in there

But I like the overall look soo it's OK

*Hera-of-Stockholm Feb 10, 2010

Yeah, I learned a way around it once when I worked with a similar program. First I rendered one pic with shadows and then one without, and then I plastered the second upon the first in photoshop and turned it to something like 45 - 55 persent transparent. Then you'll get a shadow but not completely dark.

If I had some free time to use Bryce, this would be a big inspiration... Congratulations.

Thanks

well that's a good complement

Only thing that strikes me as odd is the biggest planet, it looks see-through with stars coming through it

planets that are included into a scene that already has a sky are often set to "screen" to show only the brighter parts as the daytime moon seems to do. But this also can allow objects behind it (like stars) to show through when really the planet is still a solid object and even if part is in shadow and can't be seen, it's still there and should block the view of anything behind it

I'd suggest masking or erasing out the stars that are behind the planet (maybe you can select the whole planet to ensure you stay within the boundaries

)

Thanks for mentioning me too

Yes, I know what you mean ...but what shows it's actually what I was going for. I picture the planet at top left as a big object which is much further then it appears so too soften the look and give the distance effect the nebula wraps and cradles is ...hmm..which mean the stars will be on top of it

But in any other case I do fully agree with what you said
