    Horo - As usual, your abstracts are a true viasual delight.

    S Ray - A very passionate singer indeed. You have nailed the expression on her face, a difficult thing to do. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

    adbc - Those colours in that space scene are exeptionally well balanced. Love it!

    Mermaid - Hight maps can be a great resource for terrains as you have once proven again. A very attractive render, well done.

    From the Galactic handbook, addendum III: privately owned planets.

    Fenghuang

    The planet Fenhuang is the private property of wellknown gambling mogul, daifu Qian Wenhuan.
    With gravity at 90% standard, a mild climate and no hazardous wildlife, Fenghuang is a pleasant place.
    Qian has the reputation of being a hard playing compulsive gambler who likes to take big risks and play for very large stakes.
    It is rumoured that Qian got the beginning of his immense fortune by a wager with his then employer when he was his personal assistant.
    On a rainy day his bored employer -emperor Chen- was staring out of window of his castle on Prion IV and asked of his valet Qian "What do you think Qian, of these two waterdrops on this window, which one will reach the bottom soonest?" Qian answered "Without a doubt, the left one, effendi". "Hmm.." the emperor said "I know for a fact that you are a gambling man Qian, are you willing to bet on that?" Qian didn't need to think twice and said "Certainly, o mighty one!" Emperor Chen turned around and looked at Qian and then said "Let's make this interesting for both of us. If your drop reaches the bottom first, you will get anything that you can personally carry out of my treasure room". Qian asked "And if I loose, oh heavenly father?" The emperor laughed and answered "That is simple Qian, you will die by my hand".
    This time Qian hesitated a bit before replying "So be it, oh ever rising sun".
    It took more than ten minutes before a winner was declared and Qian was escorted to the treasure room by an amused emperor Chen.
    When inside the treaasure room, emperor Chen asked "so, Qian as you can see, most if not all of my treasures are too heavy for you to lift on your own. Now what are you going to do?"
    Qian did not hesitate and with a "Forgive me, oh everlasting ruler." grabbed the emperor around the waist and carried him outside.
    The emperor, after overcoming his first shock, burst out laughing until tears streamed over his cheeks.
    He rewarded Qian with a position as overseeer over six planets on the edge of the Beyonder region, a job that made Qian a very rich man indeed.
    After the emperor died and Qian's position was given to somebody else, Qian retired to the planet Fenghuang which he had bought.

    Qian Wenhuan still resides there in his own castle and invites a select number of rich people from all over the Gaean reach to come and indulge in games, wagers and bets for sometimes very large sums of money or rare and unique items.
    Landing on Fenghuang is prohibited, the only exeption is being invited personally by Qian Wenhuan.
    An automated defense system class VII ensures that landing without invitation is extremely unwise.

    This render was a struggle and to be completely honest, I am still not sure I am satisfied with the result. But, such is life sometimes.

    The story however dit write itself, which is always nice. The castle and two diplodocusses...diplodocussi .. oh whatever, are freebies.

    The terrain is homecooked with tiled grass as material. The clouds are a fiddled-with cloudslab and the lake is mirror material.

    edit: Just one little typo, that was all. Honest...just one.

    Rembrandt - superb render and story, very nice buildings. Thanks for your nice comment

    Rembrandt - thank you. Quite a clever chap, this Qian.

  • adbcadbc Posts: 3,115

    Rembrandt : Thank you for your comment. Beautiful render and story, great sky and buildings, 

  • Thank you all for the comments

    No story of mine, this time.

    The story on this render is one of the oldest stories ever told. A story that is always told with horror, fear and grief.

    I call it:  "конфлікту"

    The flowers are freebies and the colour is intentional. The garbage is a photo of a garbage heap spuddyfied over a mountain.

    The title means: Conflict.

  • HoroHoro Posts: 10,719

    Rembrandt - not actually nice but nevertheless very well done.

  • mermaid010mermaid010 Posts: 5,544

    Rembrandt - nice render, I like the contrast, between the flowers and garbage.

    Hi all,

    I see a lot of interesting and beautiful new renders. I have been a bit absent from the site for a while, so I will not react on all renders, sorry.

    I made a couple of new renders. A sci-fi city render with the black UFO (retextured by me) and two versions made with the spiral landscape by Karanta, of which one with stacked terrains to create the city around the central mount.
