Description
I have been chasing the elusive sunset in Imagine for as long as I've used the program and feel I'm reachin the end of that virtual rainbow with this series I'm tweaking on.Here is the latest sunset composed of 4 spheres,from in(smallest) to out(largest) they have:1.clouds.itx,cloud colour light yellow,sky colour med blue, 2.frac noise twice,first one filter,second colours ,a bit darker than the cloud colours on the 1st sphere, 3.clouds again,with default col and fil. settings but added a firewall.itx as a first .itx for colour,and finally:4. a volumetric sphere: scatter 5000,emission 5000,no noise,no falloff.it's lit with a parallel light,no shape no fall off, set to 1255. hope you all like it..

Hi Bobby, can you detail a little bit the theory: why 4 spheres ? why not just two ? one with cloud and a volumetric . Anyway, nice picture and great idea that I am gonna explore in my way when I have time

I Like the subtle nuances. Very calm picture. The blue color is for the morning, the red for the evening. Did you try with different sun colors? Some objects, trees, would give the scale of the landscape. The most left hill seems to be far and its color is too vibrant, saturated. I think colors fade to blue or gray with the distance, I need to verify this. But it's hard to wake up so early in the morning ;o)

Yes, colours do fade to grey, in the distance. This is a function of Atmospheric Pressure and Moisture content. It is caused by the various chemical molecules in the atmosphere diffusing some light, and absorbing certain wavelengths (Atomic Absorbtion). Thus, at a certain distance, you are virtually left with no colour(?) in the light, and as 'colour' is dependant upon the wavelength of light everything looks grey. You might be able to fake it, with a very fine fog- but, then again, it might be more trouble than it is worth. VistaPro has a 'Haze Density' parameter, which is very useful, as you can go from a clear day, through Hazy to thick mist/fog, easily.
