Easily some of the best scifi you will ever read. So, go&#8230; get it and read it if you haven&#8217;t! I decided to try myself on a scene from the book (and there are so many good ones!). Late in the story our group of characters is sorta kinda trapped at a very important place and they need to stay there. Unfortunately food and water runs out and they decide to send 2 of them back to a fortress kind of place to get food and water. So my scene shows one of them on their way. What we see is how I kind of imagined the environment looking like in that part of the book. In the book it&#8217;s sort of described as a desert with some neat atmospheric effects. That &#8216;atmospheric effects&#8217; part got me. In the end it&#8217;s not a super exciting scene I guess. I had my fun playing around with it though. =)<\/p>\n<p>Technically it&#8217;s a mix of 3d and 2d techniques. Created with Vue, The Plant Factory, World Machine &#038; Photoshop. I used Apophysis renders to visualize the atmospheric effects. After rendering the scene plate I, as usual, did go back to add lots of elements I rendered separately. I also oriented on the descriptions in the book regarding lighting and colours. Got that part good I think. =)<\/p>\n<p>6500&#215;2967 &#8211; Vue &#8211; The Plant Factory &#8211; World Machine &#8211; Photoshop &#8211; Lightroom<\/p>\n<p>This pic is part of <a href=\"http:\/\/theluminarium.net\/v3\/exhibits.php?id=29\" title=\"The Luminarium Exhibit 28\" target=\"_blank\">The Luminarium&#8217;s 28th Exhibit<\/a>.
