Several images are used to create this Blend, among others a diffuse texture (basically a picture of the earth without clouds, relief or illumination), a normal texture (to create the relief), an illumination image (for the lights at night), a cloud image (to create a cloud layer) etc. It also requires setting up a few transparency masks so that you can prevent the illumination texture from showing up in the part of the earth covered by sunlight.
I had to keep an eye on the temperature of my Graphics card for this one. With low res images it is feasible but if you want to create more detailed relief, you need hi res images, and then my GPU temperature shot up. So I ended up making the thing in low res first, then in solid view I replaced the textures with higher resolution ones, and then briefly changed to rendered mode and quickly took a screen shot instead of rendering it out.

Been on a Terragen kick, this was created with Terragen Classic...I DL'd the free version of T3, but those renders take longer!!
Although things took longer than planned due to supply problems, it worked out well, cos the renderers finished their work yesterday and the scaffolders came first thing this morning to clear up! Tim happened to have the day off from work to go for a cancer check up at the Dermatology Dept (all good) and so we spent the rest of the day sweeping up the dust, cleaning up and rearranging/repotting plants etc. I'm really pleased with my choice of colour for the render - it's called cream but in reality it's more of a peachy colour and it's almost identical to our back room!
Flaking render will allow the ingress of water which will dissolve the original lime mortar. It might look charming in a shabby chic way, but it's irresponsible property management.
The Ocean City Fishing Pier really appears like a computer rendering here under this mix of lighting from the early morning sky and the lights from the pier and parking lot there in the Inlet Area. The WB is set to florescent for a nice mix between the lighting that was there ... and is pretty close to what I remember seeing with my eyes as "corrected" by my brain at the time.

The rendering of your emotional highway has no barriers?
what do your deepest fears cross and encounter?
is there cherishment upon the way that feeds your heart?
picking moments with which the Soul is eaten, in part
is it the deliverer, the healer, the persecutor impart
smoothly surfaced into the light of day passing
a room, destiny, space, in time, rivers flowing
still in mind, awakening the emotive checklist of strife
recording movements and controlling daily schedules
watching every living matter, is this what you call life??
bear in mind what you simply cannot bear to face
with eyes closed, the entitled apparition becomes real
a chest note unspoken, which designs a noted bas-relief
filled with emotional spirit and natural purulency
go beyond the norm, look further afield, inherit more belief
taking your hand, reinvigorating this life shared
second to none and afraid no more, seize the willowed moment!
behold the veranda of opportunity and purest veracity
entering such a thalamus of hidden and untold dreams
here we feel the world in our hands within plentiful capacity
there is no wrong in a oneness of love, a oneness of spirit
where Nature is present, life abounds in surviving heartbeats
theurgic possibilities astride hermetic touches advancing
where breaths become deeper and silently longing
forever becomes the present of predestined-eternity's glancing
we are the insight of ourselves when open to heavenly calling
into our destiny we strive purely, future surrendered today
as the past catches up with the forgiveness of time itself
we're bold enough to go where our resistance never dared step
a shell of time, and only time will tell where we may tread ourself
are we to remain in fate's shadow, or shall we reflect glory -
on our own offering of light and illumination unto our present?
leaving a prosaic society aside, let your spirit touch it's potential
realise and embrace it, share and reach the four corners of your soul
such propensity of jubilant goodness within every heart existential.

I first heard about this legendary lens in 2006, just as I was really getting serious doing photography. I was 20 and it was way out of my price range, and why would anyone want an old manual focus lens? The allure of this special lens and the way it renders the light the passes through it is just something special. I’ve kept my eye on the pricing of this lens since then. I’ve read countless blogs about how it is so special...I just couldn’t ever convince myself to pull the trigger and buy one.
Then one day this July I was reading a blog post about this lens, one I’d read 100 times before and I thought I’d check the prices. On eBay they were all going for what I was expecting and I thought to myself I’d check KEH Camera a very reputable used gear seller. To my surprise, they had one in stock. It was about ¼ less than what they were going for on eBay and KEH rated this one as “bargain” quality.
If you’ve ever bought from KEH you’ll know that their ratings are VERY generous. I thought I’d take the chance and if it was in poorer condition I’d send it back with their generous return policy. The lens arrived, glass in perfect condition, and a single scrape on the metal lens barrel, other than that it was in perfect condition.
So I kept it, and have just fallen in love with this lens. I’m so glad it lived up to all the hype and I love the images I’ve taken with it so far. I look forward to the ones I haven’t taken yet. This is one of those lenses I’ll never sell or part with.

I hope you won't get tired of this big Merc. I still love it though.
And the guys at Mecabricks love it too. So much that Maxao2000 (of who I don't know if he uses Flickr/similar) rendered an image of the 6x6. And it's beautiful!
NOTE: I don't own this render, it's made by Maxao. I thought I'd share it because it's really good and it's my model. But I won't take credit for the render.
Thanks to Maxao, and Mecabricks of course!
