Tiny Spherical Worlds




Composite images are good, but why all those images instead of just taking one? If you don't know what a composite image is, it is basically a image made up of several images. Composite images are most of the time more interesting than just one picture, as it is usually abstract and interesting. People get really creative with composite images. They are interesting, and even though they take a lot of work, they can end up to look really beautiful if worked on hard enough. That is why one picture is not always enough, and instead take a few and piece them together. 

If you don't know the difference between a polar and spherical panorama, here it is. A polar panorama looks sort of like a planet, and it is really cool and creative. It is a panorama that is made into a planet with the magic of photoshop. A spherical panorama is also a panorama that is turned into something really cool with Photoshop. A spherical panorama looks a lot like a glass ball, and it is really cool. If you have Photoshop, you should definitely make a polar and spherical panorama. Here are some examples. 1, 2. Check it out!

My finished polar panoramas/ tiny worlds are pretty convincing because of the magic of photoshop. Photoshop made the planet, I just had to fix the planet. There was a very noticeable line right down the middle of my planet, so I had to use Photoshop's clone stamp tool, because if I just painted on to the picture, it would not look as realistic. So I actually used some parts of the picture and just cloned it and put it somewhere so it would fit in and also make the world convincing. My planets might look like a moon, because I sort of messed up :(. That is what makes my tiny planets convincing that they are actually a real planet (or a real moon).
