That sky > the sky in most games

Seriously, this one of my favourites by anyone of all time.
That lights and that sky....

EDIT: what are the exact settings for your light models?

 

[Gilles]

Not sure I like the small yellow orb/glow-y thing. I feel like it actually detracts from what is an awesome terrain.

 

[johannesr]

I played around and made a different version. The sky is made from nebula models and glows, i have like 6 different variations for each.

There will be a reply, mark my words ;>)

 

[Celaquil]

^ What kind of response is that?

I personally like the bright version better, the firefly effect gives off a nice magical feel
to the terrain, and breaks just enough of the monotony of the otherwise very purple
terrain.

That second one is way better than the first one, IMO. The sky is more refined, the perspective is better, and it just has a better feel all around.

The first one felt a bit cramped due to how much screen space the doodads took up. It would have been fine if so much emphasis hadn't been placed on the sky, but the second terrain really opens it up and lets the sky really shine.

 

[Celaquil]

I would agree, if you brought back the lights. Just maybe not as... Overwhelming as the
first one.

 

[johannesr]

Added a third version, which i also shopped into awesomeness.

 

[2-P]

Beautiful! The new version is my favourite.

 

[Gilles]

YES. That update is teh sex.

 

[Celaquil]

Nice update

which i also shopped into awesomeness.

Heathen!

Honestly, though, you don't need photoshop to make fireflies like that,
it's just going to take you enough time to grow a beard doing it with the
editor

Good stuff
