Procedural Planets in Blender - TUTORIAL

[@Demigodish4o3]

First I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never generate a planetside. But then I spent so many nights thinking how I'd get it done. And I was wrong Blender sure got pretty strong. And now you're back From outer space I just clicked this thumbnail to see your sexy mustache face. I shouldn't have bought a Maya key, should have learned Blender cuz it's free. If I'd known you'd make tutorials I'd have saved some sweet cash money.

Aaye❤️

[@TheSpacePlaceYT]

If you want more accurate clouds or you want to play with the actual rotation of the clouds, press Command + T or Control + T on the noise texture for the clouds and/or textures. You can also make the noise texture 4D to have essentially the same settings but with a "Seed" factor.

[@agungpradana5776]

great tutorial, detailed and easy to follow. Keep up the great works!!!

love this video . It's give me understanding of texturing . now i smarter then i was

Super! For a week I was looking for how to make an atmosphere on Cycles.

[@sillyfella2009]

Thanks

perfect thank you :)

What about adding craters?

[@mahdihajdahmen5793]

this was so useful thanks!

Love it❤️❤️❤️

[@melobear6071]

This is amazing!

[@7maa7]

How can I export something like this? can you make a video showing this

[@taliesinriver]

Look up baking textures in blender - it's difficult to do properly, but you can convert procedural textures like this into image textures that can be used in other programs.

[@carrotylemons1190]

I have genuinely been waiting for something like this

[@asteroidhunting7340]

you really need an overlay that shows which keys you are pressing! There are moments like at 4:32 where you just click and it makes an entire new node and quickly links it together but have no idea how you did that... for just one example. But love the video, keep it up!

[@benj4022]

I don't know if that was your question but he pressed on Shift + Ctrl + Left Mouse at 4:32

[@_Bora-dj8vv]

You also need to enable`` node wrangler`` Addon and Shift+Ctrl and Left click on the node connects it directly to the material output.

[@CHUMMUGGINS]

@@benj4022 omg thank you!

[@kevinhealy8436]

Thoughts on gas giant atmospheres? I know it's a much harder texture to make look good, but I wonder if you've found a node setup that works for you?

[@CriticalGiants]

Hi Kevin, I haven't gotten around to them yet, but my initial idea for it would be to greate a color ramp in the z direction, then create a couple of layers, and then mix in a noise with a high distortion, I will most likely do a version 2 of planets at some point :)

[@kronos548]

ive had decent success with using a gradient for the vector on a noise texture as a base

[@jackle7896]

I accidentally deleted the Planet Material and wasn't able to bring it back. I'll try this tutorial again when my motivation is back

Amazing tutorial, Thank you so much

[@JoshLoweSpace]

This is one of the best planet textures I have seen! Thanks!

[@No1Idle]

Thanks for the amazing tutorial, only a question, if i use cycles instead of EEVEE i do not have the the shadow options for the clouds, any work around?

[@zzador]

Tried watching on my laptop with max volume. I see your mouth moving and hear some silent noises from my speakers...are you speaking in this video? If you're speaking then my tip for the next vidoes would be: Please amplify your voice.

[@realastropulse]

Really cool, this is about the setup i landed on when I made some planet shaders a month ago.

[@clausbohm9807]

Again Brilliant, you took Glebs out dated and over complicated paid tutorial and destroyed it with this simple technique for free.

[@Soul-gf9vv]

I am so glad you are the first planet tutorial I clicked on, cuz not only is your method cool but you're also hot which makes it easy to follow. 🙈❤️

[@pse2020]

As a total noob i am having trubble following this tutorial. alot of stuff missing in my version of blender it seems? how do i add a "new material" that feild is not there...:( figured it out on my own after a while. then you never really showd what the noice texture was conected to, so i could never get the same result as you :(

[@Ren.Leader]

I'm baffled at how simple this process actually is. Super cool.

[@K_Disk]

A little fast for me but otherwise straight forward and to the point I did enjoy it tho great job!👍

[@killer271007]

Your channel is gonna be huge. These tutorials are so helpful. Thank you!!!

[@lukemoncla]

Is there a way to make a good atmosphere without using volumetrics? It is slowing down my cycles render times.

[@andromeda5242]

i cant understand why, but my atmosphere is completely transparent if i set the end at 6m. its also making my laptop lag.

[@VadaeAmoga22]

i was trying to follow it but around 3:56 its not connected to the principal node anymore and goes off somewhere else. where does it go and how to i follow that? other than that i am finding it a great tutorial so far. i am following it step by step and its awesome!

[@MrCmoididi]

thx for this awsome tutorial

[@CriticalGiants]

No problem!

[@Bxxmzilla]

Bro you are the best! Thank you so much for this video. Subscribed 😃

[@CriticalGiants]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Feltare]

What do you think about making planets with sections? Such as a tidal locked planet with a hot and cold side with a neutral strip in the middle or just layers of different terrain types

[@CriticalGiants]

In our planets tutorial on gumroad we go through making an earth like planet and there we do a layered approach with poles, grasslands and desert in the middle. But we are working on something that combines map making and planet making ;)

[@Skirbiy]

Well, unfortunately, blender stopped responding on a bump node thing

[@LoopX]

This is fckin awesome dude. Good job

[@CriticalGiants]

Thanks a ton!

[@y4sentel471]

At the beginning 2:54 you used a short cut to connect the noise texture, I couldn't find out what you pressed and what it was connected to.

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

This the easiest way to create atmosphere planet... And plus, this atmosphere has a sunset or sunrise effect on terminator line area between sunlight and dark side!!! Because it's really important... :)

[@drowningconsciousness2127]

why cant i see the cloud stuff ?

Nice video, thanks. I'd like to have seen the textures baked out and added to Unreal as well.

[@themoprhingorb]

Hey, hey! A fellow Dane;) Cheers, mate! Tak for gennemgangen;)

[@ajojen6346]

Thanks for the tutorial! I just started in blender and I feel like this video helped me understand better how a few of the nodes work, which is really nice. In other tutorials I've watched, I've used nodes like the mix RGB and color ramp, but I wasn't really understanding what they were doing until now. And this turned out looking super cool!

[@tintren]

i was making the planet and blender crashed and i forgot to save

[@AndyWalsh]

Pro tip. For a less realistic but better shadow quality (note the weird double shadow in Eevee), use a spot light and stick a secondary fill spot on the opposite side of the 'sun' spotlight. Then try to catch them in the planet's water reflection.

[@DEADALEK]

Can i make clouds without using Cycles?

[@richedge8667]

Nice work. I don't know if you plan on doing another planet tutorial? I've made a procedral planet pretty successfully including displacement to raise the land mass a little. For the clouds I'm trying to achieve a volume cloud layer that can be viewed from above or below, like from outer space or from ground level. Right now I have clouds touching the ground and reaching right up to the border of the sphere ending with a hard edge, so.. not looking too good at the mo. Now trying several node combo's like Texture Coordinate - Object to Vector into Gradient Texture (set to Spherical) then factor to factor into Colour Ramp.. trying to find a gradient, ramp or whatever that will hollow out the clouds inside the sphere leaving an outer layer which tapers off gradually into outer space - if that makes sense. IDK if I should maybe hollow the cloud sphere out like boolean it with another sphere? Thanks for what you're doing, looks great. Trying to get something I can zoom into, fly beneath the atmosphere and then back out.

[@CriticalGiants]

Hi there, sounds super awesome, we demonstrate our method for making volumetric clouds in our Gumroad Tutorial. We might do a follow up tutorial at some point, but we have a long list of other topics to go through before that :D

install node wrangler addon, then ctrl+shift+click the node you want to preview

[@lonewalker5435]

Hi! very nice tutorial. I wonder if i ca render as an animation to have the clouds animated cause i wanna put it like a background for a zbrush sculpt

[@CriticalGiants]

if you attach the cloud noice vector to a mapping node and a texture cordinate node, then you can animate the location x, y or z and then it looks like the clouds are moving :) Hope this helps

[@lonewalker5435]

@@CriticalGiants I will try! Thanks a lot!

[@djcanimations5111]

Now I'm confused. I can't even find Material Output node when making the atmosphere. Is it not a thing anymore? IMMEDIATE Edit: Oh. Never mind. I wasn't in object mode, but world mode.
