Hmm, that was the effect I was going for, but even with gray_threshold = 0 it
doesn't look very blue. Perhaps the white of the cloudtops is dominating it.
I'll try switching on media radiosity, see if that makes a difference.

I started off with metallic textures, but when it was reflective I found it got
too busy, and I lost the nice radiosity shading. A little specular might be
good, but I'd need blurred reflection to get the planet to show up. Perhaps I'll
give it a try, if it doesn't render too slow. I quite like the starwars/nasa
matt white look tho :)

Thx!

How's this? I think it looks much better now, good call!

Very nice image. However, that high up in space, shouldn't the side facing away
from the sun be nearly black in shadow?

Looks like the architect tended to drink a bit.

It's only about 100 miles up. If you look at photographs taken in daylight of
the iss and nasa's sts orbiters, you'll see that they are brightly lit by
earthlight. Even shadowed areas on the moon get a decent amount of earthlight,
and that's 250,000 miles away.

I find it a strangely evocative image, and it has much to do with the
flat, dead-grey texture. Like it is the ash from some thing or creature
baked, incinerated or somehow immolated in such a way that it's every
detail remained intact
The one thing that bugs me, perhaps, is the orientation, which suggest
somehow that this is how it would look while sitting upright on a tabletop.
