Hi alltogether.

What I am publishing today, is not even a new render. I did this years ago, 
around 4 or 5 years.

I used Bryce 3D to create the landscape shape, but rendered the mesh with 
our good POV-Ray. Using Adobe Photoshop, I added vegetation to the nearby 
parts of the landscape, as well as some lights, the entrance to the 
underground house, the platforms, the path, and the entire background.

This scene shows, during the evening hours, a distant terraformed planet 
which inhabits large rain forests. A few settlers occupy this planet now. 
The planet has a ring of an ancient, fragmented moon and of ice, which cann 
be recognized only through the reflection of the ice fragments at this time 
of the day. The atmosphere is humid and foggish, that is why the early 
evening sun cannot be seen too clearly. The small but deep valleys are 
filled with mist at this time. At the horizon, you see two moons: one large 
moon which contains only light elements, and a normal moon.

On the nearby round platform is a woman sitting on the ground, maybe 
enjoying the last hour of the day, and her small air vehicle. Life on this 
planet is slow, and calm. Mankind got more mature and is not emotion-driven 
anymore. Wars and egotism couldn't be part of this future anymore, surviving 
the poisoned, selfish ages of Earth drove out those stupid habits.

Nice story, ehh?

Using Photoshop to edit a Povray render? Heresy! ;-)

You know you've been raytracing too long when some guy at a party
casually mentions that raytracing produces results superior to other
forms of digital painting, and you hysterically jump and down and
repeatedly shout "Amen, brother!!!"

Hmmm, but two massive moons at such a short distance, that would be very 
improbable in an astronomical sense - or is the scene thought to be 
viewed through an extreme small field of view, so that the moons "in 
reality" would look much smaller? Or has the larger moon even roughly 
the same mass as the planet, so that it would be a tidally locked binary 
system such as Pluto-Charon?

The landscape looks intriguing - is it inspired by Jamaica's Cockpit 
Country?

See you in Khyberspace!

Hi everyone!

Thanks a lot for your comments, I love to hear from you!

HERESY:
Oh! Oh! Oh! Don't burn me! Please! You're right, kind of. But my POV 
landscaping skills are way not sufficient enough to get the same result! I 
would need some forest generator...

JAMAICA:
Hmm, you researched well. Yes, I live and work in Jamaica. But these hills 
are just some result I got in Bryce, when I experimented. In fact, they 
remind me more for some of these mountaineous landscapes you see in China. I 
liked what Bryce gave me, and worked out the rest.

MOONS:
Yes! Well recognized! I had a dual system in mind (a dual planet system), 
such as Pluto and Charon. This moon is pretty big, and because I know of the 
important role mass has in such a system, I stated already that the big moon 
consists of light elements only. Who knows - maybe that moon was once 
catched when it came as traveller from outer space (where the 
POV-programmers are from?). That's why it has an entirely different 
combination of materials than the other planets and moons in this system.
