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.
