Photo Realistic Earth ( Eevee, 2.83 )

My Earth model that I will be tweaking a bit every once and a while.

  • 2 second rendering times
  • Rayleigh scattering
  • Cloud Depth
  • Skies
    (Version 1.1)


Pretty Much Done!

In the past 2 days, I’ve made some major adjustments. I haven’t rendered any more because i was trying to get it right. I have some new ones.

Edit: Just now figuring out that the major change also made major errors to the scattering effects.

There was a color on the color ramp that was way to close to another, so i spaced them out.

Edit: You’ve said like, 3 things to me but those three things really helped me out man!

How did you do it?: I honestly wish i knew, my node setup is way to messy at the moment for me to tell.

Where did you get the original textures?: The NASA Blue Marble page since i keep hearing about it.

Do you have any intelligence built into the model around which parts of the Earth are in darkness vs in the light?: Kind of.

Would be so cool to have a time-lapse animation, where the sunlight moves around and you see the lights coming on in some major cities as they enter darkness: That’s a good idea!

Edit:

1.5 is here.

With skies.
