Venus Spring

I did this for the Adobe EXTREME Print Challenge on Facebook. The full image at 7200 x 3600 pixels, took 50 hours to render on my Macbook. At which point, I found out the subdivision level for the stars were left at the default level of 3...don't you just love when that happens :)

So I ended up doing the stars in Photoshop, kinda looks better with the mix of 2d and 3d...I might have to try that more often. It looks like I didn't make the deadline...but it was fun trying to depict spring in space.

I'm sure it can be done with weight maps, but who wants to spend the time creating them...not me :) So I came up with an idea that might do the trick. Take the Material Mixer to combine foreground and background materials, and add an extra input for edges and one for scale/size. The idea is, you connect an Angle node to Edge input and specify which edges should be affected. For example, if the Angle input value is 90.0°..then any edge that has an angle between 0.0° & 90.0°, will have the background material applied. The Scale input can be a percentage or a distance value, say 6mm either side of the edge etc. And bingo...we have worn edges in Lightwave....I think...hehe. Oh yes....I got another 3 cool metal textures as a r...
