Step-By-Step - Creating Realistic Planets in Blender

[@ВадимТкачук-д2н]

please don't speed up when you make settings.

[@wheatlysparble7900]

This is sooo underrated!

[@RealEverythingComputers]

Awesome tutorial thanks!

[@I_am_Spartacus]

Cheers for this great video Theo! I bought the texture pack last night and managed to do the tutorial no problem... it only took me 11mins to render out,, but it looks great and will be amazing in my final animation...

[@jxmess9597]

lol ive read 11hrs instead of 11 mins

[@Wigwammack]

This is such a fantastic tutorial. I'm working a space themed video and this helped me to create a really great looking alien world!

[@alexi2706]

It looks amazing!

[@climapoc9870]

My laptop wants to freeze up adding the subdivision surface modifiers, would it be fine to just shade smooth instead of using this modifier?

[@CameronKiesser]

Yes

[@leiportogez7256]

Yes

[@Duuude9448]

idk why he didnt do shade smooth its so stupid lol

[@waynza12]

No, shade smooth recalculates the shading. Subsurf multiplies the vertices, averaging them out. Shade smooth won’t change the shape. If your laptop can’t handle 2 sub surfs, you prolly will have tough times ahead with blender.

[@waynza12]

@@Duuude9448 not at all. Shade Smooth doesn’t change the shape. It recalculates the shading of the normals

[@Can-99.9]

I found that a cool realistic way to make an atmosphere is using the sky texture you can even set how much air there is and dust and sun settings! I would definitely recommend this

[@TheseWorlds]

Interesting. Do you know any good videos about it? Thanks.

[@nagarjun385]

Man, am serious this video's gonna be Viral in some days

[@ripits_62]

thanks for adding compositing to your tutorial!

[@ripits_62]

@@THEOexr if possible, can you DM and explain a bit about the license of purchasing items from the link you have? I would like to use to make an animated short.

[@scorpcorp40]

at 4:21, we need to get textures for the planet. Where exactly do I get these textures?

[@shadytoast5565]

Great video man!

[@77luis10]

how did you add the camera peerspective window?

[@zodiak5182]

perfect 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@sfsvoid9616]

I have an issue with compositing: glare just doesn't appear, same for blur. I connected everything right, but glares and blurs are invisible

[@tommy2094]

did you connect them to the viewer node as well

[@DanielLu-i3u]

This helped me realy much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeremaggot]

Hello, great tutorial, simple and well explained..but I'm having trouble with the clouds, I don't have that same result at 5:35, the clouds are just not showing up! What could be the problem?

[@justin7649]

It could be because you have the atmosphere layer still toggled to visible, make sure to click the eye icon to hide that while you setup the clouds. :)

[@playfra5004]

Thank you, that helped so much, but the halo around the planet doesn't show up for me, what can I do?

[@ioqvaciousx4369]

i’m a little confused at 1:33 you said to change the scaling to 1.01 but then made it 1.001 i just did the latter

[@UTINNIDESIGNS]

Great tutorial! I got planet pack, only issue I’m having is getting a good atmosphere glow around the planet. The composite nodes didn’t work as well as yours seemed to either, at one point it was just rendering white, but I added another viewer node and then it worked.. Trying to work through rings tutorial now, but again it’s not looking as good as yours even with same settings, so something is off on my end I guess

[@amoghagrawal1]

Where can I get planet textures from if I have not purchased the Exoplanet pack as of now?

[@slimewhale420]

im getting a weird issue with my cloud layer i was wondering if i could get some help.

[@EmvyBeats]

Set Alpha Hashed in the material panel?

[@BoguZk]

very nice

[@kalabaris]

There is a part where you chose to use subdivision on all the spheres, why do that instead of smooth shading?

[@EmvyBeats]

I suppose for ultra-detail. If all your rendering is a planet, that wouldn't be a bad way to go. I don't think it's necessary though.

[@JasonJung5]

I get black lines down the center, presumably due to the atmosphere and clouds overlapping. What is the fix for this?

[@lordcrayzar]

I don't know if you ever figured it out, but I had the same issue. It was because I only scaled up the Cloud and Atmosphere layers in the x direction and not y and z.

[@creativebenzin]

You are the BLENDER GOD, help us, little mortals, create massive Planets

[@galaxymarek3664]

Thank bro!

[@elOmegart]

This is very valuable, thank you

[@Anonymous-mk8bo]

How do u subdivide in the beginning Also amazing video

[@luca2120]

Tank you !

[@mumbaikachallenge5526]

Starting 10 second✨

[@prodbymxrxn]

Why can’t I find the path tracing in blender

[@GurasisAnand]

Its because you must be using newer version of blender with cyclesX. CyclesX has an updated system, you wont see path tracing as a selectable option.

[@MikelKiriakos]

great video but I noticed you didnt change the texture from "flat" to "sphere" this gets rid of any stretching on the bitmap

[@TheseWorlds]

I'm using a NASA texture file and it must already be for spheres because it looks perfect on "flat" and if I change it to "sphere" it looks stretched.

[@benjaminbodewig3572]

For some reason, my athmosphere is cube, even though i did everything the same as you did. Please help!

[@comicsands9719]

Thank you so much dude❤

[@macguffin4127]

Thank you for this tutorial!

[@madshader]

I wanna see Blender/Octane addon workflow. Any videos planned for that? BTW: "atompshere"? :D

[@chaoscreeper]

how did you put in the pictures in shader editing???

[@nallabelipavan]

Thank you

[@aylmer666]

how do you bring up that menu to increase the segments of the UV sphere? It doesn't automatically pop up when I create it.

[@AmazingCreationsStudio]

textures download link not working

[@pereforner3911]

Hey, i would like to download the assets used in the video, but i think the links doesn't work

[@TeznaGFX]

u the goat thank you

[@rafael.c3765]

Is it possible to transfer to unity software with all this quality and display in augmented reality?

[@justyuyun1557]

thank you very much , for the lesson ! help me a lot

[@mar7348]

Where did you get the space ambient noise? I wanna have it on while I make my own planet...

[@retronix3184]

how do you make the sun?

[@davidkean3304]

Great video but i am stuck. When I add the atmosphere it makes it impossible to see the land mass. I figured out this if i hide either the clouds or the atmosphere it looks great but with both i cant see anything. what could i be doing wrong ?

[@GurasisAnand]

@@THEOexr I am having the same issue, mine is connected to the volume, density is at 15. I can only see the landmass when i turn off either the atmosphere or the clouds layer.

[@zardigcg]

can someone tell me where i can get some pbr planet texture please

[@simongarrettmusic]

your link doesn't work

[@Akula_Rauth]

Hi I used your tutorial it’s turned out crazy but…Do you have a tutorial on how to animate a planet?

[@CmdrTigerKing]

why is there 3 viewports?

[@i-am-your-conscience]

Can you also make a video on how you created these textures? This was the main part I was looking for, because it matters the most for the end result to be honest. Also, can you zoom in, in your node window next time? I cant read anything you do.

[@jayhop960]

thank you thats a like and subscribe from me you sir, are the man

[@dannyg8032]

Dude, nice tutorial, but for real when you make tutorials use a 1920 x 1080 resolution so we can see the interface properly. In all your tutorials for C4D, and now Blender, the interfaces are so tiny and hard to read, is really bothersome for the eyes. In Blender you can rescale interface to 1.5 to make it visible. Take this into account for future tutorials please, and keep up the good work!

[@anorepublic1159]

I can't seem to find the exposure node in my blender version 2.91.1

[@aarondraws7699]

same

[@theoweatherall7392]

YO MY NAME IS THEO Have a good day :)

[@prodbymxrxn]

So am I the only one that can’t find that doesn’t have the path tracer????

[@gravelycritical]

Did you end up finding it? Because I'm stuck on the same issue and no one talks about it.

[@alanjones4735]

I haven't got it either. There's 'path guiding' but no 'path tracing'.

[@Luftbubblan]

Looks awesome Will try with some of my own photos. Btw, if you have any tips on how to make like a Nebula image in layers so you can mvoe camera into the nebula would be appreciated. I did a test earlier but i get some tint on each layer that makes things not so pretty. (Want transparent parts to really be transparent)

[@verydeadchannel]

Very informative. Does the composition still work when you are rendering a Video like a short 250-350 frames. Another question i wanna ask is how do you set the right FPS for this space scenes?

[@manavchaudhary4940]

Bro you're so good but can you create a video creating every single planet in our solar system? It can help many people like me. LOVE FROM INDIA ❤️

Wood you like to join my competition

[@prodbymxrxn]

Stuck on 1:50 I need fucking help 😂😂😂😂

[@TheseWorlds]

As I'm a noob you completely lost me when you added the texture to the surface. So I had to stop there.

[@caribbeanchild]

256 samples for the viewport? Are you nuts? Who has a computer that can do this?

[@Lunecovlad]

My volume scatter was completely black

[@avatr7109]

lower the Density

[@pranavm5856]

Thank you so much, but you are going to fast.

[@EmvyBeats]

Thats what the pause button is for, and the slow video option & the rewind.

[@edwardramirez9213]

This is what I do not like about videos like this. textures. what if you cannot get them from the website you said. Then you skip a lot of information. we teach if you do not like to be helpful. how do i get the textures?

[@edwardramirez9213]

how do i set them up?

[@edwardramirez9213]

where do you plug them in? I will love to see your answer
