Here’s a little 6 second animation I did recently, thought I’d share it with you. 8) Made entirely with Blender 3D, Postprocessing and compositing done with Adobe After Effects.
2 MB, XviD (eh, 2mb is big for only 6 seconds, but couldn’t bring myself to sacrafice very much quality :P)
Some frames from the animation:
The planet is the same one as in my Bismark picture.
Very, very nice work. Looks like something in the opening of star trek DS9.
I would say the rotation of the asteroid is to fast, and once it pass the camera it looks like the rotation change directions, but that may just be me. Also the redge lines on the asteroid makes grid lines.
yes this is so amazing! :o could you possibly point me to a tutorial to make a planet like that? or could you write one? much would be appreciated. amazing work
Your earth is really impressive. Amazing.
So i’m also interested in having your blend (if you don’t mind of course) or having a link to your textures maybe.
This could be nice.
Once again, great work.
hey, really nice anim, perfect glow, and breathtakeing planet
ok. and now how did you done the sun? Is it combination with blender’s halo and flare’s? (because it seems to me as postprocessing ). if it’s blender’s, could you show halo settings? 8)
The planet was done using three spheres, one for the planet, one for the clouds, and one for the atmosphere. The size of the planet texture was 2500 x 1250, but I repeated it a few times across the surface. The clouds were 8192 x 4096 (also repeated across the surface). The atmosphere was just a blend texture mapped to NOR and only Z.
The glow isn’t that hard, although it was mostly done in photoshop. I rendered out the atmosphere by itself with full emit and against a black background. I then took it into photoshop, duplicated it a few times, and applied some gaussian blur in varying amounts to create a “glow” feel. Lastly, I used color balance to adjust the color from white to a cyan/blue, and composited it onto the planet with screen mode.

this is a post from obiwans bismark forum and this helps a little with the planet but could you post the textures?
