Bubble

Interesting and uncommon. Difficult to say whether rosetta is within sphere or just a reflection - though it must be inside. Excellent backdrop.

Render Man No colored lights were used. I used a default sky, 'Dark and Brooding' I believe. That gave the orange/ red cloud glow on the bubble. There is one radial light in the center lighting up the symbol in the middle. I added a light at the bottom of the picture in photoshop.

This is really nice. The reddish material at the top give this a real neat affect. I like the blends of green use in this scene. Did you use colored lights?

This is a very clever piece. The center looks like a liquid like a stargate or subspace disruption of some sort. The colors are working well together. I really like it.
