Description

Two water planets, locked in orbits so close that their oceans almost touch. Mere miles apart, their 2 closes points have long since become tidally fixed. At the center is the nexus, is the city of the ancient ones. Their artifacts, buildings anchored to the deep seabed float where gravity is the weakest, each planet cancelling the others pull. A mixture of lost technologies, anti-gravity and the steam engines power their craft. The mystic priests known as 'engineers' try to keep the old works running. Not a easy task, eons of time have clouded the generations to what once has been. ****************** All modelled in Xfrog... rendered in Bryce. Use a 360 degree panorama but with the camera pointed straight up.

awesome, reminds me of a short story by Italo Calvino, "Cosmicomics". I hope you are making these into panoramae! [I am, and they are double fun that way!]

Yes its panorama but there are so many issues with them, not the least of which is distortion. The buildings furthur back are actually up to 50x larger then the close ones as things drop off fast. I did render the steam engine separate though and for the first time used a object mask and imported it into the main later. Didnt quite get the edges of that object perfect.
