FORBIDDEN RAINBOW
FORBIDDEN RAINBOW

            

FORBIDDEN RAINBOW
Description: Pre-production in Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7.
Rendered in Bryce5.
Post production in Psp7

A lonely planet orbiting over 160 million miles from it's host star. This planet orbits within the habitable zone of this powerful mid class star about 4 times the mass of our own, so young and hot that it burns blue.
The host star orbits this heavy nebula at a distance of 6 light years. The nebula glows of ionized hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, carbon, and high levels of metals as an older generation of drifting red giant stars have spewed metals throughout it.

Nice picture. The edge of the nebula doesn't look very convincing to me. But then - as has been noted here before - space is a strange place and more is possible than we could imagine.

color

I am an astronomy buff and I have spent many hundreds of hours looking at different images captured from outer space. The hardest thing to capture is the sense of scale. First off, space is a huge black void. Black is the key. There is no helper light to illuminate the dark side of, say a planet. Stars are tens of times larger than planets in physical size, so the star is much further away than it looks. The notorious cross shape of the starlight is a well documented phenomenon. It is caused by the light from the star being refracted within the camera lens, and also because of the principles of quantum interference of light, which is a physics lesson we don't need to go into here. You will notice in hubble images that the cross shapes of stars always are aligned in the same direction, and that at a close enough view, every single star in space creates a cross shape in the lens.
We all know that white light is composed of all of the colors, and under certain circumstances the light can separate into it's individual wavelengths.
The star is not a generic effect from photo shop but an actual 3d object made of a home-made image on 2d discs blend transparency, all positioned in the same place and rotated at 10 degree intervals along all 3 axis. I wanted to create the effect of a super powerful explosion-like star that I believe more realisticly represents the way stars actually look in the hubble images I have seen.
As a general rule high levels of color saturation are thought to be unrealistic. I disagree. Outer space can be a very colorful place. In my view if you can flesh out the spectrum of an image, it will gain it's own internal sense of realism. Long winded yet agan, sorry.

I don't challenge your knowledge as astonomy buff - something we seem to share anyway. The range of the electromagnetic energy generated by the stranger and less strange object stretches from RF to X-ray. Which part and in which range you capture that energy depends on the capabilities of your equipment (and filters used). When creating artificial images from some sector in space - in my oppinion - everything is permitted: tha artistic choice. What is depicted here is not an impossibility. What I intended with my initial remark was rather to challeng you to attempt a cloud with some filigree.

you are the best!

I like your challenges. I just want to say that I feel like a giddy school kid who just met their favorite movie star. In my mind you guys are legendary as you have been my instructors unknowingly for a couple of years now.
The image is meant to give the impression that a viewer could "fall into" this image.
Most outer space photos are taken at long exposures to collect more light. And most of those photos have been enhanced digitally by the time they are published. It's almost safe to say that until we go there ourselves, none of us know what space looks like. Still, most of us are awed and inspired by it's majesty. I agree that the nebula cloud wants something more distinct, more variation in density, and finer details. My last response was more of a clarifiaction of my production methods, as I don't want people to think this is more psp7 than bryce. The star is an actual 3d object that looks different at differing angles. So is the nebula. I used extra care to figure out how to express them in full 3d, and I wanted that to be clear. The star is different than the preset 2d flare effect that comes with photo-shop, as mine has many more colors and eminates from a much sharper point. The photo-shop star is used alot even in movies, but look closely and it will be clear that this star is not that one. This file has been lost but I think I can recreate something similar to improve upon. Thank you for helping make the image the best that it can be.
