This is a retry at my old Artwork,
My old artwork: www.artstation.com/artwork/9WOeR
Trying to be realistic but with a stylistic finish, by using exaggerated lens distortion and glow.
The scene consists of Three Smooth Spheres,
- The First is the Earth
- The Second has a solidify modifier for the Volumetric Clouds
- The Third is for the Atmosphere
Slideshow of the finished project: www.youtube.com/watch?v=82n41-iPS6w
This is all entirely made in Blender 2.79
Waiting for the official Blender 2.8
Please be open as to how I can better my Image.
