IMAGE DESCRIPTION: An ice planet with a fire core
A freak of interplanetary nature, this planet was a failed dwarf star that travelled into
the orbit of a larger star and collected ice molecules from the planets that were formed
over millions of years.
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
I started with a simple globe at 2 meters and hollowed out a 1.5 meter globe from it. I
surfaced it with Lightwave's rough ocean shader and tweaked the shader for transparency,
translucency and reflection. I also altered the colouration for a deeper effect. I then
placed a point light in the center with a high red flare.
