Here are some WIPs of my new scene, showing the progress so far with composition
and lighting. The working title is "Maiden Voyage" since this is the first
*actual* scene using my spaceship model.

Here's a render detailing just the ship area from the overall "Maiden Voyage"

Now, add some focal blur to take the eye away from those rock formation.

Thanks Maurice!

Hahah, thanks Paolo - the rocks do look pretty terrible without textures, but
that's part of the texturing fun for me - the illusion of detail :)

I thought about that at first, but today I've been playing around with tracing
down some plants and I really like how it's looking now, so I'm probably going
to leave everything in focus for this scene. Two plant species, three variations
each, for a total of 30,000 plants traced down onto the rocks and ground plane.
Attached is a detail of this setup.

Hmm, I noticed that the previous image I posted doesn't show up in the Image
Digest - too large maybe?

Here's a 1920x720px version...

I got it without a problem.

D*** good rocks and texturing! Look like some weathered granite outcrops 
with mossy overgrowing. A texture that leaves me slavering indeed ;-)

With the vegetation the scene suddenly changes from inferred desert to 
savanna. I would like to see the view!

Something I noticed: both the rocks formation and the towers just barely 
touch the ground. Is that on purpose? For the towers I can think of a 
reason or two, but the rocks?
