getting basic images and colours matched.
Im working at 8k, twice the final resolution so i can keep the final image crisp and clean.


next im going to get the lighting direction right by painting in shadows on the clouds and ill use autodesk maya to create subtle planet textures.

Thanks again MPC for this opportunity!

Jack.

new work in progress


not fully happy with the cloud values just yet but ill continue adding in clouds and atmosphere to blend the values together. Im having a lot of fun with this so far, clouds are relaxing, haha.

[Jaxko]

Thanks a lot everyone, its great to hear good feedback so far!
Gerard, I created the planets in maya using displacements and a point light and then rendered at 8K really pleased with how it turned out in the photoshop composite.
Kire Im' liking your WIP so far as well it stays very close to the concept and looks very detailed so far.
Hey Akim great to see you here as well.
Good luck everyone, im also looking forward to how everyone else takes their matte paintings.

Id say im about 40% into this now, till a long way to go.

Since i think im gonna get this finished pretty quickly i might do a 2.5D animation inside after effects or add moving elements into it or something.
