Description
This one actually took me a long time to do, but I am pleased with it especially since Cinema 4D is not my speciality (Terragen is). I am going to post an alternate POV tomorrow since I couldn't decide which one looked better. Any suggestions and comments are welcome as always. Thanks for viewing!

very good image you have made.
I have something almost identical to this I was going to use, but not at perfect as this one. Now i see this scenery, I am thinking about just erasing mine, lol. This is amazing, the POV, the colors and the light burst is just amazing. I dont know how U got this out of Cinema 4D, but amazing picture. It feels like something is pulling U in, very well done and nice details. Excellent Excellent work.
Thanks a lot for the generous comment. I've been wanting to make something like this for a long time, but I have failed miserably up until now. What did I do differently? I don't know, but the fog actually worked out the way I wanted it to. I was actually patient on this picture, taking care to almost every detail, and I suppose it paid off. I also learned a cool trick from a friend last week about refraction and textures. If you disable the color channel and enable only the transparency channel (and the specular if you want), then set the transparency refraction to something over 1 and set a fresnel on the refration, then you can get some cool effects, like I did here. Thanks again for the comments!
