A different project for me

well, working on a little project for a friend. This is a test render from it. Just a regular shader on the foreground objects right now. No real texture on the planet (that will change eventually), just a shader designed to replicate the look of the atmosphere along the horizon, and then of course the sun done via the lens flare shader in XSI along with a glow on a sphere, which helps me control the volume of the "sun" a little more.
