What ho chaps
Here's my final (for now) take on Escher's Double Planetoid. Changes since
the last post (some time ago now) are not massive but make a difference -
I've added a background, and people wandering the balconies. The second
image is an attempt to portray what the whole entity might look like if it
wandered into a raincloud. Both images rendered almost prohibitively slowly
on my ailing ~1GHz office machine (about 5 days solid for the daylight
version and just over 6 weeks for the overcast version, rendering nights
and weekends only), so I shall have to find some more processing power if I
want to take this further - I've got 3 fisheye views from the balconies set
up ready to go as well.
I've been staring at this WIP for so long that I honestly can't tell if it
looks good any more! :)
Anyway, as always, comments and suggestions welcome.
Bill

Really impressive work ! I love the first version. Another great image
for the hall of fame :-)

I concur, that is a keeper!

That's so pretty. Only criticism is that it would look better if you just
keep adding details to it! But it's gorgeous anyway.

Both are very impressive, although I prefer the first one.
One wonders what would happen if somebody would lower him(her)self to the
other planetoid....

Thank you both! That means a lot.

Yup. Four planes blobbed together (thanks to Mike Williams for that), with a
large-scale agate and small-scale granite added in for the crevasses and
surface roughness respectively. It's really slow to render because the
resulting max_gradient is almost 24,000!
Bill
PS I, too, favour the first version. But once I'd started rendering the
second, it became a matter of principle...!

Always true! I had all sorts of details in mind but it was getting
increasingly tedious placing objects using tetrahedral polar coordinates
(if there is such a thing!).
Perhaps one day I'll come back and do some proper greebling (what a word!).

Really impressive!
Is so... vital that I'm expecting to see some little birds flying and
perhaps some water somewhere.
Compliments!
