I had an idea over the weekend for getting a planet in the sky
in a daytime scene and not have it look as though it was inside the
atmosphere.

2 fogs and an inverse sphere

Comments?

Well done Gail.  The water isn't an infinite plane, is it?

neat. i'm a sucker for these kind of scenes. they always remind me of the
original star wars when Luke is standing outside at his uncles farm with the
moons (or where they suns) on the horizon just at sunset. time to watch it
again i guess =)

I like this picture too! And I'd like to stand there one day.  :o)  Maybe
the planet is a little too invisible but on the other hand I suppose a big
planet needs a greater distance than our moon.. I don't know what is most
realistic.

Regards,
Hugo

Distance won't make that kind of difference in vacuum.

Inverse sphere? Let me guess...containing the "atmosphere" so the fog 
doesn't actually extend out to the planet. I've never messed with fog, 
I'd just use media.

Well done, but shouldn't the illumination of the planet come from the same
side as the light in the foreground?

Nope, just a large box with a rmf normal

It should. The light in the foreground was intended as a fill light.
Foreground
was far too dark without it
