This is beautifu. I especially like the narrative you've started. I for one would like to see more of your explorations of this planet.

Hmm, if you like this narrative 'incident'...I'll see what I can do in finding interesting places while turning it into a 'narrative experiment' (although I'm neiter good in prose nor in lyric poerty...).
But I can't promise, so many other things to experiment with...

It's just nice that you have a short little story to go along with it. It's better than just saying "Here's another render I came up with. Lookie lookie." Adding the narrative makes it feel more like you're a space explorer and this is a place that you've discovered and visited.

Awesome work!! What a great scene, you have a cool imagination. It adds to the scene very well

Indeed making planets with Mojoworld is rather exploration than construction. The people who own this programm call themselves 'Mojonauts' and are exploring what the programmer calls 'parametrical hyperspace'. They/I think of these worlds as real places in a mathematical sense, since they are derived from mathematical algorithms...well only as real as graph in a coordinate grid but that's more real than what most people call 'virtual'. But since I belive in being a part of multidimensional function/fractal (universe and spacetime) I sense just a small difference between our reality and Mojoworlds reality...
I hope I won't screw up the future narrative parts because I want them to be narrative parts (unlike this one wich just flew out of my mind)...
And I'm dreaming of making a game with this...since I played Myst (years ago) and I heard that they used the same program. So one day I'll hopefully release a small Myst clone.
Thanks again, that you reminded me of the creative importance of such narrative parts, even if they are just small. I guess it's better to write something wich some uniterested people may skip than to write nothing

Wow, thanks, I'm bit surprised that you are another person who likes my 'mental flow' . So I guess it's really no bad idea to keep this up. I'm just a bit concerned about my english skills

Hmm, that's really interesting, about the mathmatical algorithms being real. I hadn't really thought of it that way.
I'd really like to see what you do with your own Myst world.
You should check out the deviation descriptions on *ursulav's pieces, especially the Gearworld ones. They're exactly the sort of thing I was thinking of when I commented on your narrative. Some of them are really funny and they really add to her work.

Yeah, that's pretty similar but there is a difference too: Correct me if I'm wrong but she already has a world in her head about wich she can write and draw, I played around with fractals and got to this planet and then I tried to make a nice pic of it, not knowing that I would get such thoughts about it while writing the description. But I don't want to make something too complex out of this, just another few pics with a few associated words, maybe a short story but really just very short and propably very strange...
What is indeed interesting is the fact that I already modelled gears and hands (of watches - not sure about the translation) to stick them into the ground or into the stone columns. I even startet to place them in the scene (by hand, not through a fractal - shame on me...) but I felt that I wasn't able to texture them in the way that they would really fit into it...
I've not enough experience and it surely will take a longer time until I'm ready for the Myst clone, so I had no serious attempt on this yet. A 10 GHz Powermac would speed up my learning curve as well as it would increase the quality of the game (because even the 'classical' renders take a long time and the interactive 360 ° QickTime Virtual Reality panoramas I'd like to render...well, they cover 360 ° in every direction and that means a lot more pixels to be processed). Unfortunately I can't afford this little thingy atm

Ooops, looks like the very last Gearworld pic I watched (right after writing the comment and the only one after writing the comment) makes the first part of the comment obsolete and fits into it just as you say...what I assumed was wrong, it's more similar to my kind of exploration than I thought. Sorry for not noticing this before and this double reply...
Think if I would blow up this a bit there will be such a thing like the Gearwold too but I won't do this too much because in this case I would get such damn lot ideas of worlds that my head would propably explode
I don't think I could handle this passive enough, like *ursulav does. We'll see...
