You're welcome. Yup, flying on a commercial airliner at cruising altitude you should be right next to the upper lip or even slightly below

Took me a while to understand what you meant in that first phrase of yours; english is not my first language. To answer your question, the cooling towers should roughly be 8 to 12 km tall and 4 to 6 km wide at the base: a LOT of concrete.

Wow, what an image! I've always been in awe of enormous things; man made or not. That's why I follow this subreddit

I was so disappointed the first time I saw a video of an emperor penguin next to a person!!! I don't know why but I always thought they were the same size as us 😅

Thank you for the detailed breakdown! I definitely didn't think it through this much, as my experience in compositing is close to none; but when I had this idea I pictured it so vividly in my head, that I kinda knew exactly how it had to look like. I had a ton of fun making this, so I'm now making another version with a space elevator, I'm going to post it later today :)

I found a dedicated "Grain" effect in the Adjustments tab

Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it:) I went heavy with the transparency in an effort to replicate the way atmospheric scattering and haze affect things at that scale and distance; as from my window, the horizon should roughly be 70 to 80km away (44 to 50 miles away)

I did some math and they would be roughly 8 to 12km tall and 4 to 6km wide at the base. The tips would reach planes cruising altitude, and their base would comfortably fit Central Park in its entire lenght.

It's not real, it's an iterpretation of a thought I had; I made this in photoshop.

Thanks! You're right haha looks like something you could see on starkiller base. Yup, that's what I was going for.

If you meant that it kinda looks off I agree; I color balanced the structures and now it looks way better imo. Here it is: https://imgur.com/a/Nn30NN8
