I reused my realistic Earth to create a more stylized and artistic render. Inspired by one of my favorite old renders, but this new one I tried to make more on the realistic side even though you certainly can’t expose for stars, night lights, and the Sun all in one image. ![]()
Cycles, 5.1.0 | Render time: 42 minutes | RTX 4070 SUPER, 64GB RAM
This one does also have some procedural noise added to the clouds to make them look a bit more detailed (NASA’s 43k map just didn’t cut it). I also used the Deep Star Map 2020 for the background. Unfortunately the 64k EXR kept crashing Blender so I had to use 32k. Even then the first 5 minutes of the render are just Blender being completely frozen trying to load a 2.4GB EXR. ![]()
