Earth Scene
This is the improved Earth scene project file mentioned in my tutorial on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@AlaskanFX)
It includes the full set of shaders and materials from my Earth renders shown above and in the video. It includes two 6000 x 6000 cloud textures packed into the file and separately downloadable. It also includes a simple custom world shader node made specifically for space renders. The ISS model used in the artwork is also available for free from NASA here: https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/resources/2378/international-space-station-3d-model/
This is a great tool for any artist who wants to include stunning Earth renders in their work. With a simple change of the surface texture and some creativity with the atmosphere shader this setup will produce magnificent alien worlds as well.
Note: This file is not the most beginner friendly as it is not designed as a consumer product, though I have included labels on nodes where appropriate, utilizing this to it's full potential requires at least some experience using Blender's material nodes.
You'll get the .blend file containing everything used to make the Earth renders above plus the two extra cloud textures as a separate download
