Fun!! Could you show the full node setup for it, because I was trying to make a plant, but I couldn’t get distinct continents.

This is the full shader node setup so far:
Fully procedural, based off of a height map from the mesh and some noise textures with color ramps. Pretty basic so far, planning to add some more details later.
The way I made the mesh is with an icosphere with some displacement and subdiv modifiers, coupled with a water
One of the displacements is larger, which makes the continents, and the smaller one adds more details.

Linking to a very good paper on black hole rendering:

how many nodes do you need for a black hole? Also, is another one really necessary

A few dozen for the accretion disk shader(s) (pictured above), and a few dozen more for the distortion setup
Well no XD but I’m a bit obsessed (partially because of my neurodivergency) and I wanted to improve on it one last time
I’m rendering out an animation now, should be finished in about two or three hours
