My brother asked me to knock together a few quick sci-fi backgrounds that 
he's going to draw cartoon characters on later. They look pretty neat so I 
thought I'd share.

I'll probably post the versions with characters once they're finished.

You're going to let him ruin those with cartoons?  ;) jk

I really like the sense of otherworldliness those present.

The skies are excellent! I especially like the two "halos" in BG-1.

I'm not sure whether I like those flying rocks in BG-1.jpg.

It looks like you intended to use an isosurface function with (x,0,z),
like a height field, but typed (x,y,z) by mistake.

I tried (x,0,z) but it looked a bit boring. I agree the flying rocks look 
wierd, but my brother might be able to get rid of them in photoshop when he 
works on the pictures so I didn't fix them.

Wowie - how'd you do the green, inverted (planet above, not below) one?

VERY nice.

The planet's just a couple of spheres with granite based textures for the 
ground and clouds. Then there's a scattering green media with a spherical 
exponential density and high extinction which makes the colour more 
interesting. Then there's a crazy emitting media for the sun in the bottom 
right. Did you want to know about any specific part of it?

Yeah I like those, they're just a couple of planar patterns on the 
sky_sphere.

I like the flying rocks, too. Adds some extra mystery to the scene. If I 
would change anything, it would be the sand(?) in the foreground. The 
shape looks odd.

Nope - I think I understand some of how it is made. I hope...!

I've wanted to try making something similar for a while now, now I've got an
idea where to start.

Thanks for the reply!
