Description
I designed “Amatheia” in Blender (my first Blender planet) with the end goal of doing a “tribute” to the 20 year old “Tropical Moon of Thetis”. The “day” version was a bit of a departure but hopefully this scene will evoke the original.
I rendered quite a few different atmospheres before settling on this one and I will share some of those in the Pickle Jar down the line.
I hesitate to call this a “night” version, because the sun angle here implies that it’s still day time. How is this possible astronomically?? Easy! Off frame there’s another moon eclipsing the sunlight momentarily 🙂

I wish I was there taking a mid night swim.

… are you sure you wanna share 10667×6000 as lossless master? I mean, gr8, thnx! or is it variable anyway?

Overall, the color and compostion look fantastic. But the clouds in front of the planet aren’t so good — too thin?. They look kind of like wires, and I had to stare for a bit before I realized they were clouds.

Absolutely Wonderful! Ryan. 2560×1440 Monitor I recently bought was worth it. Thank You

I like the other one better. I have the tri-screen one on my PC now. The clouds are cooler and the reflection of the planet on the water is better in that one imo. Maybe pickle jar it.

What a beautiful tribute to the original.

Both versions are amazing. I do like this one a bit more. Revisiting the classics is great.

This does, indeed, evoke the original! There is an overall sense of wonder and awe. I particularly like the lighting and color choice. My only (slight) reservation is that, if this were the only version, the alien clouds would be a bit confusing.
