I'm pretty pleased with this. Admittedly a lot of it is post-work in PSP, but still :D
I created the earth by NOT using a sphere! In fact all I did was create a sky colour map consisting of black, dark blue and light green, then played with their height mapping (in the atmosphere editor). Then in PSP, I selected the earth, promoted it to layer, then used Lunarcell to create the land and clouds (I downloaded the real cloud photos, which you can do). Then once I was happy I set the layer opacity to "Light". And Voila!
Craft is the Soyuz spacecraft in the Vue vehicles library
