Description
I bought an iphone and it came with a picture of Earth as the wallpaper. Now Earth is cool and all but I wanted something a little more me so I made this.
The planet uses a mix of venus mapping coupled with Earth clouds and variation of half gradient spherical glow for the atmospheric halo (a trick I cooked up one time for a forum discussion).
No planet goes well alone so I tossed in my latest version of my Enterprise model and fussed with some weird lighting and voila, I got my new wallpaper.
I'm happy with it. Took me two days of render/view at work and then tweakage but now I'm cool with it.

SUPURB!!! Nothing beats the classics!!! David W
Very nice!! Great POV. The planet looks fantastic!
Very cool work Kix, i have never been able to get that realistic glow effect down without a ton of post work like you have here on the planet halo using Carrara . I wonder if that thread is still available ?
Awesome image!!!!!!!!!!!
Superb render!
Ahhhh I'm in love I've never seen a finner tail end sigh! Ok maybe I need to get out more but "Damit Jim," That's a fine ship!!! The point of view, the detail and setting perfectly flawless sigh!!!
Really great picture.I like the contrast between the organic spheric shape and angles of the ship.
Excellent job. Thought it was a screen shot from the remastered series.
very well done
Gee. I love space scenes, but this is one of the best I've seen for ages. Lot's of subtle food for thought for a Carrara rank amateur like me!
Awesome!! Classic space adventurer.
