Haha Just been browsing the gallery there, some truly awesome work. Check out anything by Joe Jesus, and Voyager. These tuts are very good but do require plenty of practice, as I've come to realise.

Bookmarked.  Thanks.   Here's another useful tut for space scenes.

One trick i use for starfields, if i need to add to a render or modify a scene, is to make a seperate layer in paintshop and use the Snowflakes plug-in from Van der Lee

Thanks for the Link Rayraz I had lost that site and couldnt find it again.

Yeh think the old site got hacked, luckily I had joined so was informed by email when it was back up and running.

Thanks for the sites. I have just recently started creating my own starfields for a number of images I have planned.

Thank you. That is a good find.

Oh what a nice looking site - I've now joined, great stuff!

Thanks for the heads-up rayraz.

So thats what happend.

Glad ya'll like it! I was pretty impressed by some of the planet tutorials in particular.

I might try modifying some of these techniques to use with cs4's new 3d functions.. it would be a good excuse for me to dive into those :D

rayraz, which CS4?  After Effects?  Where are these 3D functions?

I've just got Production Suite CS4, and I've like to discover something good about it, instead of all the crashing...   :sad:

Photoshop CS4 should have some 3d stuff. It should be capable of importing 3d models and wrapping imagery over the 3d surface.. i havent tried it yet but it was on the feature list.

Well I started out in Bryce and some of my early tuts are for Bryce directly :)

Not so pretty like much space art; rather veering towards the realistic. This is an update of a scene made last year.

Asteroid modelled in Hexagon (herecy) with Bryce materials (redemption). No postwork.

 I've been trying some of those tutorials listed on the page at  Solar Voyager and this is what I came up with.....the exploding planet was the hardest one to create as much of it's creation relies on your ability to get the brushes in Photoshop to do what you want. It's not a cut and dried process.

vangough,

Oh I like the colours in that, very nice!  And the nice soft halo around the planet.  Plus the direction to the tail of the flames. I must take a look at these tuts, obviously.
