So I did some playing around and created, I admit, a picture of artificial planets just "found". The picture is a combination of one of my astro-photos, a photo of a piece of Christmas decoration and a picture of a window with frost. Plus some work done in Photoshop. My first experiment in Astroart.

To Saburo: It took me about two hours of fun making this image. Thanks for the nice comments! Probably not the last time I will try to do some astro-art on a cloudy nigth.

Making a texture, mapping it to a sphere, and then using a lightning effect, I would guess... -------------------- Matthew IDA member XT8i, 10x50 binoculars, lots of eyepieces Post Extras:       Anonymous Unregistered Re: Artificial Planets [Re: ForgottenMObject]       #307945 - 01/12/05 05:23 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   To answer your question: The picture is a combination of one of my astro-photos, a photo of a piece of Christmas decoration and a picture of a window with frost.
