[@BerbayJR]

it is a great decency that you are both selling a product and teaching how to create it. Thanks a lot

[@RyanKingArt]

you're welcome!

[@the_omg3242]

2 of thing things that I've been wondering about since I started trying to learn Blender are: How to make a star background, and how to make the camera track an object. So, in addition to learning how to make a planet, I took away 2 really useful tips from this tutorial.

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you've learned from it! Hope you enjoyed the tutorial. 😀

[@thomas7726]

same!

[@Scott-fy4rz]

literally doing all of your procedural texturing tutorials would result in unforeseen power

[@RyanKingArt]

Haha thanks! 😀

[@matthewward1346]

THANK YOU! This is by far the best, clearest, easiest to follow planet creation tutorial out there. Bravo on an excellent video.❤

[@RyanKingArt]

glad you like it! thanks for watching 👍‍

[@iliyashafiei7859]

21:10 Isn't it better to use map range node instead of math/divide node ,you have better control over white and black value. your procedual material are amazing thank you.

[@ranger2671]

Woah, that looks so cool!

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you so much!

[@thebruhstyle]

You're awesome man! Love your dedication and knowledge of shaders in blender. Especially how clear and concise you are in tutorials. Keep up the great work!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you like them!

Classic as always! Thank You, Ryan.

[@Alexander_Haplington]

It looks absolutely beautiful. So cold, too... Really captures the aesthetic, good job :)

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you like it! thank you 😃

[@kitthaven]

Finished both your ice and lava planet tutorials and learned a lot, thank you! I'd love to see a gas giant tutorial if you wanted to continue planets haha. With a ring pattern similar to Jupiter would be cool!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the tutorial idea! Jupiter would be cool 👍‍

[@S-I-T]

Fantastic tutorial. Would be great if you added an atmosphere shell as a separate sphere. Would love to see how you'd set up procedural clouds.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks! Yes, you could duplicate the sphere, and scale it up slightly. then you could add a separate material, but still use the same atmosphere node setup. Just switch out the principled shader to a transparent shader, so you can see the planet through the atmosphere.

[@S-I-T]

It would add a lovely depth to the planet surface casting shadows etc.

[@the_omg3242]

I was actually wondering about that too. I've been trying to learn Blender after not touching 3D software for decades and back when I was using Lightwave a lot, a planet sphere and an atmosphere sphere was the normal way of doing it. Also, shouldn't the terminator be closer to the center of the planet. It looks like it's illuminated too far past the curve of the planet.

[@StyxVisuals]

Amazing work, love the creativity!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks!

[@simplesimon9056]

[@OfficialMinecraftMenace]

Amazing work Ryan!

[@RyanKingArt]

thank you very much!

[@yorl418]

Amazingly done. Juste a little tip, the stars behind the planet will not be visible because the planet is too bright so you don’t need to add them. (And it’s more realistic). Thank you tho for the procedural stars.

[@Cyber_Kriss]

In Blender, we don't need things to be 100% physically accurate, to have more artistic freedom.

[@RyanKingArt]

Ahh yeah, I see what you mean. You actually would not be able to see the stars. But in this case, I'm creating an artwork, so having stars is more artistically appealing.

[@RyanKingArt]

@K Exactly. 🙂

[@the_omg3242]

@@RyanKingArt Not to mention that it would look weird without them since people are used to seeing stars in movies and games.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@the_omg3242 Yeah. : )

[@blenderstuffs]

Amazing 🤩🤩

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you!

[@chubbyrabbit3661]

@RyanKingArt Hello, in the Procedural setup at 7 minutes of the video, I don't seem to view the Ico sphere above nodes under Shading tab. I have the Blender 4.3.2 version. Please let me know how I can achieve to see the Ico sphere. Thank you

[@thebruhstyle]

Also, why is the gradient shader for the seperate xyz color ramp smoother with the icosphere than a subdivided cube when smoothed into a sphere? I tried that before the icosphere and the gradient wouldn't smoothen out.

[@VisualistAyush07]

Amazing

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you very much!

[@Spacetar]

You said 'Procedural' at least 10 000 times. But great tutorial! Thank you.

[@RyanKingArt]

Lol yeah. thanks for watching : )

[@aegisgfx]

Color Ramp needs its own button on the shader editor interface...

[@RyanKingArt]

what do you mean? what would the button do?

[@aegisgfx]

@@RyanKingArt click the button and boom, a color ramp appears

[@RyanKingArt]

@@aegisgfx Ahh yeah I see. Because color ramps are used so often, there could be a button to quickly add one.

Great video :) How would you then turn this into an HDRI?

I have a video on how to make your own hdri's in blender. just look it up on my channel.

[@davidcottam7967]

How do fix a missing link in blender 4.2

[@tranceemerson8325]

cool but why didn't you just use the volumetrics to generate your atmosphere? I like what you did with the color gradient though, wish that the volumetric one could be given a nice gradient like this :)

[@RyanKingArt]

I guess volumetrics would work as well.

[@baihoang6571]

Hey Ryan King, can you do tutorials on modeling everyday objects such as a car, a church, a watch?

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for the tutorial ideas. 👍‍

[@vinitgaura5896]

Why you don't use Denoise under sampling render and use in compositing??

[@RyanKingArt]

The Denoise node in the compositor is a lot faster.

[@ghitvmultimedias6212]

This is amazing. Wish I could show you what I created using this tutorial

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching! have you uploaded your result somewhere online? could take a look at it where ever you've posted it.

Is there a way to export the final as a texture map?

[@starwarsflash2312]

yes, there is a tutorial on that

[@RyanKingArt]

yes, you can bake the textures to texture maps. I have tutorials on my channel on how to do texture baking.

Can I import my softs into soft soft and process without using a mic

How is this time lesser than the banana?

[@RyanKingArt]

Well, the banana was pretty complex, and also modeling the banana object took some time.

[@crippledtalk]

Following now but the emissions isn't acting like yours?! Mines outside the boundary of the planet

[@andrusoid4552]

Love your skills, but not quite there with subscribing via Patreon. Tried the Procedural Ice Planet and found that Blender has changed a bit since 2022. Tutorial no longer properly shows how to achieve the effect as laid out in the tutorial. I managed to figure out where things were in some cases, but just not ready to pay when the path is so forked.

[@roboknecht3970]

i just did it with the Blender 4.1 Version. Can you tell me what you figured out? My Planet seems fine but when renderd, the Atmosphere has small edges and somehow its all a bit Blurry.

[@andrusoid4552]

@@roboknecht3970 Didn't work with current version, so I really didn't spend any time working with itl=.

[@ambrishsingh7363]

👍👍👍

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks!!

[@MrAureli224]

Volumetrics in blender is a joke. The edge of a volume is supposed to be less dense because of less amount of material for the ray to go through. But in blender it creates a more solid edge than in reality.

[@RyanKingArt]

Ahh ok.

[@MrSilverPants68]

Be good if you made it rotate

[@RyanKingArt]

yeah, you could totally rotate the planet, and the sun, and make a cool animation.

[@thePureXTC]

I’ll join your Patreon if you do a flat earth model tutorial ^_^

[@RyanKingArt]

Ok 😂

[@thePureXTC]

@@RyanKingArt After all, in 3D, everything and even more become possible. I think it could be as creative and original as interesting useful for a tutorial. The dome of glass and night and day circle ( which include a sun and a moon ) with the ice edges would make a rich content to learn. Or it's too complex / too long for a tutorial ?

[@KionLionGuardOfficial]

Nice
