More experiments.

Pixlr Spacescene1

I am using PixLr from Google Drive for this one.  The app does not render gradient flare like Gimp does, but as you can see, you can render some effects with it.


Here is one I did a few minutes ago, using the same application; I discovered a few new tricks with PixLr that  allows for  a few more effects and using more layers.  While you don't have the gradient flare option, you can can use the gradient tool to mimic a nearby star.

To make the clouds, I created a new layer, then I used the painting tool with the scatter and diffuse options.  I also changed the opacity to a about 20 something.   After that, I used gaussian blur to give it more of a "cloud" appearance.

This one I did a few minutes ago: Just playing with gradient light to see what effects I can get.

BTW, Merry Christmas everyone!
