Spacescape - Sunrise on Vesta

[Matty P (Matt)]

I was a bit bored today so I thought I would create a spacescape in Photoshop. After about half an hour of work this is what I ended up with.

It is fairly basic but effective. I want to make another one soon.

Enjoy.

[Matty P (Matt)]

Thanks Jen,

It is amazing what you can do in Photoshop, practically just about anything.

Not bad Matt. Something to do on one of those cloudy nights. What are you going to name it? Can't just call it spacescape?

Thanks Vincent,

I have no idea what to call it. Any ideas?

" Sunrise on Vesta" perhaps.

Matt - have a look at the "LunarCell" filter for Photoshop from Flaming Pear. You can turn out your own planetary objects all day long.....

Hi Jen,

The best way to get photoshop is probably to download it. The lastest version is quite expensive but it is worth every cent.

LunarCell is awesome. I just had a quick play. When I have more time I'll see what I can do.

Looking awesome Nick! I can't wait for the finished product.

Are you going to include some planets in it as well?

[Jen]

Nick that looks cool

[BalderAsir (Nick)]

yeah, i may end up shrinking the sun to accomodate planets, not sure yet
