Strange New World

I was playing around with some different planet rendering techniques today out of boredom, and decided to comp the U.S.S. Constitution into a closeup orbital shot (the geeks and freaks around here having noted, by now, that the previously posted starship is not actually the Enterprise).  This is the result.

The planet texture is derived from a closeup photograph of a rock manipulated in Photoshop and blended with a random mashup of about 50 different shades of green.  The clouds are courtesy of NASA.  Thanks, NASA.
