Description

Most artists using texture maps to create a planet. Well, all my attempts were in vain. So, I decided to create my scene complete without this. I used the functional editor inside Vue to create the planet, clouds, citylights etc. Background stars are from Cornucopia 3D (Starfields Bundle; also done with the functional editor) with some modifications in color and size of the stars. I added some point lights for the bigger stars. Ok, the rendering takes ages on my old pc .... Collage done with Adobe Illustrator 10. All images of the planet are done within the same scene. I just added a few cameras to render the planet from different angles. It's probably not the best result you can get - but it's a beginning. Sometimes it's frustrating when you see pictures from other artists wich are done with texture maps taken out from photos of a satelite. Thanks for watching!
