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?
