Earth in Space

Made with Bryce

An experiment. A spherical panorama as height map from Earth was put on a sphere a used as displacement map. A coloured panorama was used for the colour channel. Lit by the DS-Sky 3 HDRI with NGC 6786 as backdrop. Displacement doesn't crash Bryce if you set render priority to low before you manipulate displacement. Displacement is still rather coarse and there are also errors. This picture is just an experiment.

It does have the potential. Why stop here? That could become a very nice space scene once you provide atmosphere and perhaps distorted panoramic effects (such as Davids renders). Merely a suggestion.

Thanks! Just a displacement test. Yup, rotating the Earth would be probably nice but it would also reveil many more displacement flaws.

Thats cool Horo, kind of reminds me of the old Universal movie logo, I wonder what it would look like animated and rotating ?
