Long time no see.

I started this one ageeees ago. I found the psd file on my hd some time ago and started working on it again.

The land part consists of four terragen of the same landscape renders that i had to stitch together. The problem was that the water level wasn't how i wanted it. either it was to high near the horizon or to shallow near the viewpoint. So i rendered the same sceen with three different water levels and once the sky only and put it all together in photoshop. The trees and the shore where painted in photoshop. I also had to paint some of the terrain myself on the left and right to get a proper horizon cause the angle i rendered the screen in was set so that you could see the corner of the terrain field in terragen.

I then photo maniped in some clouds from sxc.hu and threw in the planets. You might say i worked this one from raw to fine. it looked like crap when i started, which was originally the reason i didn't want to go on with it. But in the end i think it worked out pretty good.

Tell me if you like the vegetation and shore lines cause i've never done stuff like that before.


Layers: Originally must have been over 300
Time: about 5 months on and off (with a 3-4 month break in between)
Size: I scaled it down to 80% at one point


Enjoy.
