Here is my latest. The moon is actually a geo-map of the actual moon on a sphere. Anyone got an idea how to get it behind the clouds? Comments are welcome and thanks for the support.

Dude, Pretty cool. This aint a Poser render..is it? Looks like RDS. Clint

Neither, it was Bryce3D. The one thing I really wanted to add to the pic was a look of water dripping from the ship...but that's way too advanced for me and I wouldn't know where to even start something that complex. -ChaosSX

I would suggest pushing the moon farther back and using volumetric clouds. Those will come in front of the moon. You'll have to increase the size of the mood as it goes farther back into the distance in order to maintain the size it appears now, but you might give it a try. Melanie

Melanie's suggestion is a good one, using volumetric clouds is probably the only way you're going to get clouds in front of the moon like that. I like this, it's very clean and concise. Nicely done Paul

Nice image; I thought it was Bryce... If you find out how to do the dripping water thing, let me know - I'll need to do that for something I'll start work on probably next mont... :-)

Very cool! Great idea to use the Torus shapes for water (liquid methane?) ripples. I might make them smaller though. I made something like this in Poser using the deformers and magnets with the ground plane. I am going to try the same with an imported flat obj or one of the props primatives-then export it to Bryce. I might try the same in RDS. Love to see what you come up with! Eric Walters

Good job! An idea on the water... (stolen from somewhere...) Use an image editor like Photoshop and make small blue dots on a separate layer. You can use the filter wind on them, blur them, and rotate so they are facing down. Ackbar
