Me, in St Petersburg Russia, a couple of years ago.BIOI studied astronomy at University, and it is still a passion of mine. I am also a keen photographer, mainly panoramic work these days.
I enjoy travel and have been to many interesting places, and I am interested in languages, and speak some russian, ans well as the usual school stuff. The day job is fault tolerant capacity planning, but graphics is more fun!
You can see more of my graphics work at http://www.starbase1.co.uk
Thanks for dropping by,

I think that the rings look quite right now, the only thing you have to do is put some work in the texturing of your planet. Keep up the good work

Excellent POV, the next stage is to create rocks, using sprayed points to poly object/s technique. Saturn is my Fav planet, and you have done really well creating it.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The planet surface / atmosphere is based on visible light photos - it really is pretty subtle! As for rocks, they are so small (tyocially house sized I believe) compared with the tens of thousands of miles across for the ring system that they are completely invisivbble individually unless you get inside the ring. (I'm going for realism over artist impression, in case you had not guessed!)

starbase1 is right on with this amazing image. The particles are MUCH to small to discriminate as objects from this distance. And Saturn's atmospheric bands are quite subtle,as he has shown. Brilliant job of realism , here. Thanks for posting. So, how are you doing your rings, if you don't mind elaborating on the subject?
