I wanted to try making a planet for my model to orbit. So, here are two renders, Entering Orbit and Orbiting. Thanks for looking in!
I'm glad you pointed it out to me. I guess you can only see them if you're a member of my forum. I'll fix it right now!
When I was a kid I wanted to live on E. Your pics made me actually remember that, so thanks. Is that a physical model photographed well or CG?
That question is the greatest compliment you can give an artist. Thank you. All CGI. Every asset (including the stars) were built and rendered in Blender 3D. Composited in Photoshop with a little artificial film grain added.
It looks like the nice photos ppl have taken of the real thing in DC and then photoshopped into space, so yeah, I thought it was something like that with a model you built. So congrats!
This is where I tried to look like the real thing in the Smithsonian: And an attempt to make a render similar to the above that kind of looks like it came from the 1960's show:
