Description
Another space scene with more to come. I tried working on a meteor blast, but it proved very difficult, needing much post work, so I settled for this.
Credits goes to Eric for him helping previously with perfecting the shading & glow tweeking, and to the NASA Blue Marble site for the wonderful earth maps they have made available.
Rendered in Cinema 4D R8, no post exc. sig
Thank you for viewing!

Really nice, One of the better planetary renders I've seen.
Wuah!!! Hey, thats the definition of a good earth! Can you make public the file? PLLEEAAASSEEE!! And/or give us the link for that maps! Great work!
Thanks! Erik, the maps can be found here: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/BlueMarble/BlueMarble.html They have them in a variety of resolutions. The ones I user were huge, 2048x2048, and even higher for the cloud map as details were lost useing lesser ones for this close-up.
This looks very nice! The Halo around the earth looks magnificent! I really wonder how you achieved that amazing effect!
It is a really amazing work,I agree with Shademaster about Halo..WONDERFUL!!!!
I can only agee with the rest, excellent work. This is a beutifull image.
Great space rendering.
Too many stars are visible, especially the ones you can see trough the halo shouldn't be there. I had trouble with an 178MB Earthmap =|, weird colors on the edge and I can't open it in PS.
its wonderful
Wow. this is really breathtaking! Wonderful earth map.
absolutely thumbs up:) cheers, pingo
This is a great planet render!! - the glow and falloff on the planet are superb - the haze 'might' be a little too thick!? - I agree on the stars too. should really reduce the amount visible! -- top work!
Fantastic image Peter. Really great work. btw, my wallpaper has changed :)
Thank you all very much! I'll post a tutorial on the shader setup in the forum later on.
Yeah,that`s a great one !
That's an excellent Render.
