Hello!
This is a preview picture of the soon to be released movie "2002: Mars
Encounter". The shot was done from a high flying observer plane. :)
MegaPOV 0.5a, no radiosity, no post processing, sphere with water texture, two
simple cloud layers, media 'atmosphere', fog, mars image map from somewhere on
the internet.
Enjoy.
Claudius

Looks good, and a nice cinematic effect. I figure it to be 2.66:1 aspect
ratio; or CinemaScope type. However, you have a 1.6:1 overall aspect which
isn't typical of TV (NTSC anyway) or PC monitors.
Think this has been seen before but I'll put it here (apt place again):

Yes, it was intended to be Cinemascope and originally rendered at 800x300, so
the image is 2.66:1. But I enlarged the frame with black background to let it
get the *feeling* like being in cinema or watching this on TV.

That is beautiful. Do you have a larger render of it? Mail me if you want...

Claudius: all objects are really very good, but I have one question. To
what astronomical object do the clouds belong? How could one ever see
anything like this in reality? It is more like something in a dream, I
have the feeling... Or is Mars placed very near to earth?

It's some kind of science fiction fantasy. Mars has left its orbit and
encounters earth very near. What you can see is the sight from an observing
airplane that is flying between to cloud layers. The clouds belong to the
earth which is a sphere with radius of the earth (1 POV-unit = 1 kilometer)
and some simple water texture. Similar mars is also a sphere with image_map
and radius of Mars. The distance between the two planets is about (without
looking at the sources) 6000 kilometers. So this would be a very bad
catastrophic event.
The scene was purely some kind of playing around to get a nice space image.
Nothing too serious - and the source is too simple to post for analysis. :)
Hope this helps.
