eclipse

I imagine eclipsed planets/moons have been done already, but I didn't really look it up, I just made one for fun since there's no new 'Earl' on tonight I guess.

and we want solar flames of course
note the magnetic field on this one

Crapa - That one's cheating and using HDRI lighting.

Sjeiti - Hey now ! I think that scientist had a special camera, it never looked like that when I saw it.

Kraellin - I was just messing around with a glowing circle, and thought why not stick a planet in the middle, like an eclipse. And both those exampe pics they posted = cool, and could be their own eclipse filters.

----I dunno how most of ya'll decide what filters to work on, but I usually jst open the editor and start wiring stuff up til it either looks kinda cool, or until I actually get an idea ha-ha. I was just bummed that 'Earl' isn't on Thursdays anymore, so I tried to make something that actually sorta looks like something, instead of my usual weird patterns and colored shapes (well, actually I already admitted it was just a colored 'glowing circle' to start with, til I got an idea ha-ha).

----That's probably fairly average then, as far as a standard approach to filter making. Some people might lean one way or the other, as long as ya don't try to tell me that all 4,000 of the filters in the library were specifically planned to be as they were when the filter maker sat down at the computer ha-ha Personally, I've thought up a filter then sat down and made it maybe 6-7 times ever. Those were cool, and made me feel pretty sharp, but they were rare things indeed. It really usually is just open the editor and start doing something until it goes somewhere or doesn't suck ha-ha.

----Hmm, I used Chaffs & Perlin Noise for the surface, ya might just swap the Chaffs for Cells and get instantly round craters, I dunno. I'll take a look at it some more tonight or tomorrow and submit it next week, since I looked and didn't really see a 'stoopid fake 2-D eclipse' filter in the library already ha-ha.

jffe, I really think you are onto something here.....you could very well emulate the Hubble Telescope pics of galaxies and such.....

Totally cool!!!

LOL.....

Yeah, the rendering time on something like this might be a tad longer.....

New proper sized/non-pixellated examples. 2 of the eclipse with *cluster* setting on the stars, and 2 asteroid ones.

jffe, what happened to the first set you posted here, the ones before dilla and sjeiti posted? i'm not seeing them.

hmmm, sounds like i shld put my server back up so i could post straight also.
