Secret Report of Central Earth Government CEG-NH23/2b - Update
"...Breaking News from the fourth planet of Banards Star! We have gained a secret picture from a source within earth government that will shatter all dreams of colonisation. The picture yields very disturbing facts. It shows a giant lifeform dwelling on this planet. As it tries to mimic the suronding surface and seems to base on silica rather than carbon, it was overlooked during the first scans. This one was only discovered accidentaly by a scout team, that made some infra-sound scans.
After recalibrating our sensors we discovered 743 of these beings only on the southern continent. The light greenish coloring seems to indicate a symbiosis with the algea in the water. It is disturbing, that these creature mimic the terrain they are in, as if they have to hide from a predator. What kind of predator can prey on creatures of this size...
Now all our hopes rest on Arret Ehtnax!"

This terrain/pov is making my head spin - it looks like it's curling in on itself in the f/g - weird! Nicely done, though - great use of lighting; good surface too! :)
environaut
Yes! Now that is most excellent! I love this storyline here, Matthias! I can't imagine what would prey on something that big that it would need camoflage! Get your people out of there! ;-) Beautiful render! Love the terrain and POV. The surfaces are top-notch too. Good to your work!! V Hmmm...Arret Ehtnax is our only hope, huh? Looks like I got some work to do!
