@theluthier Scene 3 is in Google Drive folder.
I spend a lot of time trying to get the scene to work, I was finally getting some decent clouds but dealing with volumetrics is just death for Blender it seems. Render times goes through the roof, 2.8 kept crashing over and over to the point that for every 10 attempts at rendering only one made it all the way to the end, nine just crash half way. You also have to crank up the sampling way to high, not to mention the high dense geometry you need to have in order to achieve a fluffy look. I will keep at it, at this point is a personal challenge to achieve the desired look that I wanted. In the mean time I changed looks from planet earth to a sort of barren moon / asteroid. Only problem now is that it doesn’t look like space that much, the earth gave it that vibe.
It is a challenge the fact that you can’t render multi-layer open EXR, I could really use some render layers here, to have the background, the moon and the Heli in different layers so I could composite some lens flares at least, but for now 16 bit Tif files will have to suffice.
