It’s hard for me to play around in Gaea without wanting to take the mesh into VUE for a full landscape render. For this scene I used VUE’s “spherical landscape” model to (hopefully) more accurately model predawn sunlight on a mountain top. I used some tricks to fake it in “Oasia (Dawn)” 🙂
This might be another good candidate for the dynamic wallpaper treatment, but I will admit that I haven’t seen what it looks like during the day yet…

These are the kinds of renders that lured be to DB! More series and settings along these lines would be welcomed!

All the versions of Taiga are SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL, the detail, colour and lighting is awesome. Thanks Ryan

I really love this image. My new background 🙂

I would love to see the Aurora beginning at sunset in person one day, until then your stunning work continues to impress again and again over the past 20 years since I found Fluorescence. Thank you Ryan.

Already have DisplayFusion setup for the dynamics. I hope this doesn’t make your job more difficult. Will this scene make it easier to render?

I encourage the dynamic wallpaper treatment. (I think you might have to have an night image without the aurora as a transition before the aurora appears.) Incidentally, a number of years ago I was driving home along I-90 in Montana and saw the aurora looking just like it’s depicted here – green curtains to the north and red in the corner of the sky!

Thank you! I played around with it a lot and decided that I didn’t want it outshine the mountaintop.

…the aurora needs to be brighter, IMHO
