A high definition model of Saturn and its moon Titan. Several houndred hours went into this model to create a filmic looking Saturn planet for LW users.
Special attention has been given to the atmosphere in the two planets. Thanks to their soft, hazy look one can get very close to these planets without losing considerable resolution and detail.
Recommended for film and documentary use.

Features:
Photorealistic textures
Diffuse gaseous atmosphere (ideal for low orbit shots)

Edge transparency effects
----------------------------------------------
Technical specs:
*Ligthwave 9.6 format (a future version for 3dsmax will be available in the near future)
*4k textures (Titan moon)
*Real lens camera setup with an irradiance fallof value of 11. Basically this is to create a vignetting effect in the renders, similar to the real vignetting effect found on cameras.
*Virtual darkroom plugin effects applied to renderings (to mimic the color grading effect created by 35mm film cameras)
*Contrast, brightness and saturation are already inserted in the final renders using lightwave's pluging 'wavefilter image'. This option can be disabled from the, 'Effects Panel', under the, 'Add Image Filter' dialog, then disable 'wavefilter image'.
*No need of external plugins. Just a default Ligthwave 9.6 is all that is required.
*System requirements
This model should run on most computers. But for best visual results we recommend a minimum of a Dual core CPU running at aleast 1.6GHz or more. A 4 to 8 core CPU is preferably.
4GB of RAM
7200rpm HDD or preferably a SCSI or solid state drive SSD.
A fast GPU with at least 128MB VRAM and 128bit bandwidth. Recommended> Nvidia Quadro cards or Ati Fire GL's for best performance.
