Okay, not really. The idea for this image series is to do foreground figures with some amount of realism, and backgrounds that are more unabashadly CG; making use of procedural and parametric functions, for one. Undetailed and lacking in human reference scale for another.

For this image I wrote a simpler greeble for the deck plating, and added another procedural shader to the Anything Grooves objects; it changes both color and highlight value via the Shader Ops "Squares" generator, and adds a bit of bump-mapping.

There are two lights; a distant light, and an Anything Glows object suspended over the girl just out of camera range. The StarBright stars were comped in with an alpha channel render.

The girl also has a bit of shader fun on her. The skin shader uses a multi-channel mixer to apply two colorized versions of the base texture from Thorne, with Fake Fresnel controlling the blend. There is a slight glow in the "away from camera" channel as well. In fact, all of the clothing has complex shaders applied to modify the texture maps; much of it using Fake Fresnel operators.

Working on ideas for massive concrete and rusted plates of steel now: for the next image in the series.
