Hi,


I want to make a spatial scene with a realistic earth.

The problem is i don't know how to make the atmosphere ? (i tried with a blinn with a ramp in transparency but i can't have a realistic result.) :frown:

the only way your gonna get a realistic earth is to texture an image on the shader, not unless your good with photoshop and make your own...What ive done in a case like this was made a layerd texture node with three or four blinns 1. the earth image 2.cloud (could use a cloud texture and tweek it) 3.clear coated blinn with only specular,and in photoshop make a black and white texture of the earth image and apply it as a bump.

hope this helps if not contact me or someone on here and i'll try to explain in detail....

look around on the net, NASA and some other sites have some very good earth textures as well as cloud textures. For the 'glow' of the earth, just make a sphere and apply a shader glow to it and choose hide source.
