Pics from space using Vue6
Hi
Normally I don’t do much Sci-Fi mapping but I got myself a new toy a while ago that I’m trying to learn, and in the process experimented with some tutorials.
The results might be of interest you those of you who want to be able to
construct and render views from space.
Below are two renderings of the same setting the only difference are the suns position. To do them are quite easy, it’s a spectral atmosphere with 4 clouds layers. The trick is to adjust the cloud layer settings

Cool for backdrops
I could easily see images like these used as backdrops for orbiting stations, planetary explorations and orbital battle scenes - more for illustrations and cover designs than used as maps - but there so cool!

Vue is apparently quite a fantastic program...I really wish I could convince my work to buy it for me but it really has no use for our simulation development work...so I'll have to buck up and buy it out of pocket eventually.

Vue is a fantastic program!
I’m only beginning to realize the mapmaking potential but it can accomplish things I thought impossible to realize in a computer, take a look at this tutorial:

I’m sure you will be more eager to invest after looking that page over

I told you so!!
I'll post a dedicated tutorial on how to use it to make fantasy maps when I have learned to use it. Too busy with my Atlas map and a map website at the moment.

You do know that Vue is currently on sale for 50% off, right? If you are going to do it, you may not want to wait.Originally Posted by Arcana

Bummer. Sorry man. I guess I should have expressed a bit more urgency.

Wow. The both look amazing.
I've been using Vue for a long time now. Done some effects for local movies, but they were all landscapes, (some extremely vast). I've only done one space shot with the program, which was a animation shot for a pan around of a starship. I've also done my best to make some materials for stars, but that's still a work in progress.
I'm kinda curious, you mentioned tutorials. From where? I'm always interested in watching/reading new stuff. Geekatplay.com has some great tutorials for the program, worth checking out.
