There's nothing really wrong with the texes, but you could stand to bump them and include an atmosphere.

Comments to the redner and the movie plz [/B]

Comments on render (not looked at the movie)

1- space out the planets - having them that close looks a bit ludicrous. In fact, I'd drop all but the Earth and the moon (or something similar) and concetrate on getting them looking right.
2 - There's no sense of perspective - they could be aligned on a plane for all you can tell from the image
3 - Need an atmosphere effect on the earth.. it looks a mite odd
4 - Add a light source (i.e. sun) likewise, because at the moment it looks like unviersal lighting, and that basically makes it look like a cut and paste job. Ditto for a visible sun and possibly lens flare. If you have lighting, tone it done and make sure the majority is from a central point. Also, sillouhetting a planet behind the sun is a very easy and IMO neat way to do renders.

At the moment, it just looks like a cut and paste job, which is not a good effect.

Post by: Flaser on June 08, 2003, 05:16:27 pm: Just watched the movie.
A bigger portion of the Earth should be lighted. Moreover the Earth also reflects a distint ammount of light.
Choose another picture, with better colors, they're too artificial.
Creating the clouds would be a hell of a job, but only if you want a planet rolling like that -'cause than you'd have a hell of a time simulating their movement.
A glow could be used to create the effect...
The night side has lights as well - could be too ahrd to implement though.
BTW it's good, but I think it needs more work.
PS: Add some stars

and off the bat, you could use atmospheres and rings.
