More alien skies/skydomes/HDRIs

Griffin Avid

I have all the ones with planets/moons in near orbit. I was thinking something that simulates an alien atmosphere- like clouds composed of unbreathable (by human standards) gases. You know purple and orange clouds.....maybe something that pushes the envelope.

 

1) Being ON THE PLANET that has rings - ones that are visible from the surface. Or even a low-orbit asteroid belt.

2) A planet with twin suns or a different kind of star for its sun.

3) A planet with an icy ring that looks like an upside down cloud formation.

4) A planet with a low cloud cover or low-atmosphere-fog-blanket-covering. So it has a ceiling that rock formations/mountains disappear into.

5) A monstrous low-orbit satellite/space habitat, like the planet is at the center of a wheel with massive, massive spokes.

6) A destroyed planet(s) in the atmosphere as if there many collisions, up in the heavens.

  For the colored clouds, consider taking a standard earth skydome in your image editor and doing some quick experimenting with replacing or adjusting the color levels or colorizing it.  You might be able to get some interesting results for free.

Good suggestion!

I'll try that.
