Have you ever wished we had another light source in Voyager besides the sun.
I think I have found a way to at least fake one.
When working on the 3D Pro set for Artmatic I discovered a way to create positional light (A light source that is near the viewever as opposed to the sun).
Now I have tried to make use of it for Voyager and was surprised that it actually works!
The picture below shows a terrain which is lit by the moon (taken from the upcoming Alien/Scifi Sky collection) and there is a second light source which illuminates the hole.
I think it has great potential...

Here is a possible moonsurface as seen in AM. The small craters are generated by the Craters component. The more prominent craters are built from primitives. This way much more control is possible, like shaping the craters, adding rubble, the way they overlap etc.

Here are some examples of what Bump Map (one of the options for the AM extra outputs) is capable of.
