Lately I’ve been spending more time working with the Engine, and as such becoming more familiar with various atmospheric settings. Combine this with camera angles, and finding the right place to “sit” is getting me some rather nice results.
I’ll continue to post screenshots here as I take them, so they can be easily found in one area.
Others that have access to the engine (for now the other devs) post screenshots you’d like to share here as well!
To begin the thread…
Two screenshots taken in Engine, No editing done in post (other than the logo of course)
Do note, the clouds in the second image are “Experimental” I just felt they looked good enough to share.
“Dusk on an Alien World”
“Stormy Sunset”
Clouds are Experimental (non-volumetric)
“Blue Planet”
Clouds are Experimental (non-volumetric)
“Mountain Range, variable stars” (Red Star)
“Mountain Range, variable stars” (Yellow / White)
“Mountain Range, variable stars” (White / Blue)
The following shots return to a Gaian world, albeit without complex life, very little tweaking in engine, if any at all.
Clouds are experimental (I just love how they look from the ground though)

“A fine place to establish our next Colony”
Bluish planet (Foreground) Orbiting a Bluish Gas Giant (mid) orbiting a blue giant star in the background.

The city is dark… watch the sky…

Planetary Rings
Cloudy sunset, blue star
Cloudy sunset, reddish yellow star.
This weeks screenshots come with a blog post and video explaining the process.

here, have another sunset

The Corporation currently developing this system isn’t just limiting themselves to the planet surface, of course they’re doing much more throughout the system.
A First Look at some screenshots taken in the Battlescape Prototype
Dark Volcanic surface with a bright orange atmosphere at a reddish yellow star… and a little something on the surface…
Dark Volcanic surface with a green atmosphere and a whitish blue star.
Three images, at 3 different elevations, High orbit, high atmosphere, and ground level… Volcanic World
Mmm, delightfully desolate, I’d land there.
Expect to see more from inside the prototype in the coming weeks!
About these next few shots… taken from 2 different planetary bodies in the same system. Mmmmm…
Pleasing Simplicity
“Cut engines, take photo, at sunset.”
Taken on two different planets within the prototype.
