the only blender tutorial i can easily follow without having to pause and rewatch a million times. youre a great teacher. thanks a lot!!!
The only!!?? You don't like my other videos? Haha just kidding. Thank You! I love sharing my knowledge and helping other reach new levels.
@@DanielGrovePhoto hahaha good catch- this is my first one. I’m subbed now ;)
6:25 It doesn’t even let me add a new object
@@tiff1922maybe this tutorial is SO realistic your data is full and can’t add more detail?
My clouds wont become transparent and i cant figure out why, my node and texture are the exact same as yours, but it still stays black
Edit: nevermind i realize i wasnt in cycles to begin with
Switch to eevee, go to the cloud material, scroll down to alpha settings and change it to alpha blend, then go back to cycles and the transparency shader should work normally if you have the nodes setup right.
@@DanielGrovePhoto I love this tutorial and I mean no offense but how would anyone know this without someone telling? I mean what would be the process of someone stumbling upon this solution besides randomly clicking every option we can get our hands on? :D
@@thegwolf Well it didn't use to be like this until Eevee came out or sometime after 2.8 came out. I realized the same problem when using Eevee but eventually learned about the alpha trick so I tried it before switching to cycles and it fixed the problem. Nothing random about it just torubleshooting tricks. If it works for X try it for Y. But Blender foundation should really fix this so cycles users don't have to bother with this workaround or make the options visible in cycles and not just in eevee.
@@DanielGrovePhoto the problem is that in Eevee mode this workaround does not cast shadows from the clouds.
@@ДенисМалышок be sure to switch back to cycles. The option is only available in Eevee for some reason.
In ver 3.5, I had to set the clouds Blend & Shadow mode to Alpha Blend & Alpha Hashed, respectively, in material properties to get any transparency.
That solved my 23 minute anger thanks
Wow, I just finished watching the entire tutorial. Absolutely amazing stuff man! We appreciate you!
Great to hear and thanks for watching! Happy planet making! part 2 is coming soon.
No offense intended, but you look like Metro Man at the end of Megamind when he's been hiding from society.
That is actually a compliment haha. Megamind is one of my top favorite animated movies and I love this!
For those struggling with the transparency of the clouds - I forgot to show one crucial yet annoying part of Blender: Switch to Eevee, go to the materials tab, scroll down and look for the alpha settings on the bottom and change it to Alpha blend. Then go back to cycles and try it. Other commenters have had the same problem and were able to resolve it this way. be sure the nodes are setup correctly as well.
I'm still having problems 😭 I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong......
@@whatailsyou6616 What problems are you having exactly?
@@DanielGrovePhoto you are so awesome for responding to me right away. Thank you 😊
I think I figured it out.... My nodes were linking to eachother so all of my planet work would disappear and become clouds or atmosphere. They would just replicate.
Thank you kindly for your time and video, it is truly great!
@@whatailsyou6616 Good to hear! Be sure to check out my latest video on how to make these planets procedurally with noise nodes and masks. Lots of fun and unlimited variety and resolution since it's not texture based.
Daniel, I'm so sorry to bother you again. But for several weeks I have tried to export my files as FBX and I've searched high and low with forums and youtube videos to try and solve my problem. And I'm having issues exporting my planet now. It will not export with the texture. I did change it to copy and I clicked the button next to it to embed textures......
My clouds aren't casting shadows. I have experience with blender but am still stuck scratching my head
Using Eevee or cycles?
@@DanielGrovePhoto eevee because of how I'm switching between the day and night earth textures
This is a very easy, detailed tutorial. Awesome job of not only showing how to do things, but explaining why they behave as they do. Have you thought about doing instructional videos on how to use Blender, for complete newbies?
Thanks! I do have an introduction to Blender 2.8 ruclips.net/video/0ZLEl_DBcHY/видео.html but I try to aim for newer users in Blender with most of my videos and to get them to a point where they can build things on their own. My lightsaber video is another one good for beginners. ruclips.net/video/QuRB6S1ql5s/видео.html
To me, explaining why you’d do something is at least as important as what you do.
Brilliant tutorial! absolute best professional quality, consistent and clear tutorial I have ever watched! BRAVO! you sir are outstanding!
Thank you so much! These reactions are what I do this all for :D Glad to help another learn something that I enjoy.
Great tutorial! I've done a couple of planets in Blender and Adobe After Effects. My question is: How would you make volumetric clouds that you can animate?
Use a sphere gradient with ramp to make the volume fade out right around the edge of the cloud sphere. Then Anime W or mapping data with #frame*. 001 or similar.
I'm new to Blender and have been hitting the tuts heavily to build up my knowledge. I have a sci-fi streak as well, so it drew me with the procedural planets. By far the best in explaining and demonstrating in basics I have come across so far. I have learned a bunch. Thank you!
Thank you so much for saying so I appreciate it and that's my goal. Check out my lightsaber video it's another good intro video.
same for me on every point! im excited to start.
@@DanielGrovePhoto What’s the part called above material output 16:26
I've been making a whole series of procedurally textured planets recently, you've really encouraged me to think about putting them out there!
That's awesome! Where can I see them? Any vids on your channel?
@@DanielGrovePhoto I just published one of them on my portfolio here (www.artstation.com/artwork/KrJAaB)
Coruscant is still in the works as I want to publish the renders when I release it on gumroad (i.imgur.com/K83hk6r.png)
And finally I have an older and highly incomplete one that I plan to resurrect at some point soon (i.imgur.com/l6Z58Kn.png)
The node setups are slightly hideous, especially the Blue Gas Giant because that has several layers of noise textures that can really slow down render times on less capable machines so that one would probably require some optimization before I can consider releasing it.
Coruscant is by far the best one I've done. All aspects of it are procedural including the clouds and stars background.
Nice to find some with the same passion for planet creation!
@@SamMorseBrown i'm so jealous!
@@DanielGrovePhotofor some reason the clouds ain’t working
13:55 with transparency, i having trouble making the clouds mask the planet I'm making, I'm following along with the tutorial yet nothing changes. is there something I'm missing?
Switch to Eevee, go to the materials tab, scroll down and look for the alpha settings and change it to Alpha blend. Then go back to cycles and try it. Other commenters have had the same problem and were able to resolve it this way.
Sir can you pls make a video about baking for planets. I am trying to bake the planets I done to use them in a different platform but I have some problems about transparancy and atmosphere. Thanks.
I'm sorry but I don't have any experience with baking textures or preparing things for other programs.
Switch to *Cycles* (from Eevee) under "Render Properties" -> "Render Engine" for transparency to work in "Viewport Shading" mode. Otherwise the viewport won't show clouds overlaying the surface as depicted at about 14:00 and after.
Thanks I was wondering why that wasn't working
THANK YOU!
my clouds black background is not going what to do?
ruclips.net/video/6-ddodPmQgI/видео.html
great tutorial.. just switching to Blender from Lightwave ..I needed this! 🙂 ..oh btw.. Fresnel pronounced 'frennel' ..
I used JSplacement to make a REALLY cool sci fi scene
Love that program. It's just a shame the maker has left it alone and not developed it further. Much possibilities there.
I'm just getting started in blender and this video was fantastic for making something cool coming right out of the gates. Thank you!
That's great! Be sure to check out my whole blender playlist I have a lot of great tutorials for new users. Especially my hard surface modeling ones and material basics ones.
Me not understanding why am i so stupud for 2 days and nothing works in this tutorial until i notice that i failed the first step and created an ICO Sphere instead of UV sphere.
Really good tutorial video you earned a sub
Pt2 Advanced with fully procedural please!
thats what I was looking for
Hi, so I have a planet that has been blown into two different parts, one larger than the other and still having the core, and the other without it some has turned into asteroid field anyone have advice
Great tutorial man! i really love astronomic stuff as well, and i would love to make a black hole with its gravity effect, i struggled with the rings cause i couldnt find the uv to square thing, but changed the shape for a torus made it flat and the texture fitted like a "ring" XD
Black holes can be made easily. Try Sam Krug's tutorial.
uv squares is no longer free as far as i know
unless im just dumb
This is absolutely the most brilliant Blender tutorial video I've seen. Thank you so much
Highest praise, thank you!! Check out my other ones too I think they are pretty brilliant :P
Can planet texture be used commercially?
Great tut. How about video for last finishing touches to make it really cinematic?
Great tutorial. Clear and rich in information and tips. Especially digging the axial rotation 'trick' #*[number].
Sidebar: Please forgive my compulsive anal retention but it's pronounced (fray-nell) after the French physicist/engineer, Augustin-Jean Fresnel.
Again, great teaching.
Thanks Sir Daniel I enjoyed your video so much! I just wanna say that I really love photorealistic image planets in blender especially how much I loved space since I was a kid. Just wanna say I got notified on your subscription so I really enjoyed learning blender with you since it was my first time learning how to use it. Thanks!
And yet people believe this amazing technology existed in the 1960s...
Hahah yea exactly. Just watched a great video from Corridor Digital about how/if the moon landing could be faked with cinematography and it was a great educational video, go watch it!
What you did to create Atmosphere, to make it smooth out on its edges is just impossible for me to achieve in blender 4.2 I have no clue what I am doing wrong, its been 4 straight hours now. PLEASE HELP!!!!
@@mashonoid I'm sorry to hear that! Blender can be super frustrating sometimes. I'll do a new version for 4+ soon.
doesn't work for me at the clouds part, I do exactly like you but doesn't show transparency, the back stays all black.. anybody has an idea how to fix that?
You have to change the alpha mode in Eevee and then go back to cycles. Look at previous comments that covered this. Sorry I forgot to put in the video for some dumb reason
my clouds dont have shadows :(
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I'm having a weird issue where the atmosphere shows a weird inner ring that projects onto the planet surface whenever I'm using cycles. I've set the nodes exactly as you have yours, and am using a sun for lighting. It's weird because in eevee, it looks fine, but when I switch to cycles, it invariably shows up. Any clue what setting I might have that is causing this?
Having the same problem as well
it is like a ring that appears where the light is pointing? i think im having the same issue... seems like something to do with the layer weight but it doesn't show up on the emission viewer...
Edit: i just fixed it by increasing the angle on the sun light, no idea why this worked.
@@Sol-hm7ol absolute gigachad godsend answer. Thank you so much!
Wait, I don't get this at the part of the texturing when I press World it doesn't do anything. I've very confused Please Help Me. Btw my version is 2.8.
Can you give me a time signature for that? And do you mean when you switch to world in the shader editor?
My clouds aren't automatically turning transparent, I've done everything to the T. Can anyone please
help??
Love this by the way... one of the only ones I've been able to follow along easily.
Sorry I didn't show that step for some dumb reason. Switch to Eevee go tot hat material scroll down to settings put alpha to alpha blend. Switch back to cycles. fixed.
hey! i have a question... maybe a bit late tho. at 14:02 you fix the transparicy of the original color of mars. i only have the clouds and a black bachground, when i change the slider of the mix shader, it gets dark or really dark. maybe you can help me out... -Sam
Yes I missed a crucial step in this video check previous comment replies for details.
Hey Everblubby - don't forget to have your SCENE LIGHTS turned on. =]
Everbubbly? Oh yes I always forget to have that on.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong... But as soon as I add the atmosphere layer, I can no longer see the cloud layer at all. Any ideas?
Did you turn the material to alpha blend in Eevee and then switch back to cycles for rendering?
How did you zoom out the camera. Press G then 'Zee' then again 'Zee'? Zee= Z or what, i cant zoom out.
That should do it assuming you're in camera view (numpad 0) press G, Z, Z and then move your mouse up or down to zoom in / out. If that doesn't work you may have a different version or something disabled that I have enabled in my preferences. What version are you using?
there's like a ring in the atmosphere, has anyone encountered this?
It comes from the direction of the sun light
Can you email me your blender file? I can help you work it out. Daniel@danielgrovephoto.com
@@DanielGrovePhoto Alright, sending you the blender file right now, I'm thegalaxydrifter001@gmail.com
@@DanielGrovePhoto I kind off found 3 solutions:
1. Replace the layer weight with a fresnel then edit the IOR to 1.010
This is best, form what I've seen, for thinner atmospheres since the black and white values on the left side need to be put together very closely to be able to see any noticeable amount of atmosphere.
---
2. Edit the Layer Weight and put the blend to 0.800. Then i play around with the color ramp white and black values until the atmosphere looks good. Better for thicker atmospheres since it covers the entire planet.
---
3. Turn on ambient occlusion
@@cucag8550 same happened for me
@@cucag8550 Thank you! Been struggling with this for a while now. Took way too much scrolling through the comments to find someone else with this issue.
Great tutorial. Fresnel is pronounced"FreNel".
Darn that silent S! Thanks haha
I have a problem with the cloud I did everything yet the planet still black
As covered in other comments I forgot to show where the alpha settings are. Switch to eevee, go to materials tab, scroll down to alpha and set it to alpha hash. Switch back to cycles and render.
I do not have ctrl + shift preview mode. Do I have to install something?
In Addons enable Node wrangler. It has a number of handy shortcuts for node work
some moons are speres but a Lot of them are tiny caprured asteroids
also
there can be a LOT of moons around a planet aswell . . so perhaps try that next time
Very true! Thanks for the input if I do a part 2 I'll show how to do an easy odd shaped moon with procedural noise to shape it randomly.
Great tutorial, well explained. 👍
Wish i had have found this earlier, could follow along without having to pause and figure out what's happening or what node is going where.
Haven't checked yet but i hope you end up doing the more advanced tutorials on planets.
Am looking at putting scenes of alien landscapes together to put to my music.
Thanks! You mentioned music be sure to watch my animation to music video!
Great tutorial! Looking forward to part 2.
why the clouds on mars cant appear in Evee?
Eevee and works differently with transparency and shadows. Check other comments for instructions
So great Daniel. I love the procedural clouds.
holy heck that voronoi star trick is incredible
Right? I looked long and hard for how to make stars that way and it was so simple! Be sure to check out my newer how to make PROCEDURAL planets! Lots of fun and possibilities there.
Instructions unclear: my pc is on fire
haha sorry about that! Make an ice planet and cool it off!
Great stuff! I operate a sci-fi simulation center for the school I teach at. My students will be using this as a basis when they create planet images for the stories we tell. I would love to see Part 2!
Wow I would love to know more about that and I'm honored you'd use my content to teach them!
@@DanielGrovePhoto Yes, we are modifying a room in the school to look like the bridge of a starship. Kids, grades 5-8, will come and act as the captain and crew of the ship. We send the kids on missions that teach STEM, ethics, social studies, and/or history. They're much more theatrical, like a Star Trek adventure, than your NASA-like space camp adventures, and are meant to provide emotional experiences alongside the academic ones. You know, to make the kids care about what they're learning.
We have networked controls on our bridge set that allow them to control the ship and us to respond and give them various stimuli. When they fly to a planet we want to show them images of the alien world, or when they look up various systems on our star map, I need images of those worlds. My staff (Grades 9-12 students) make these images, and when they are learning how, they will watch your video!
After watching your video(Thanks), I created a very good solar system in which all the planets are orbiting the sun. But there's another problem, how do I put sunlight on all the planets orbiting the sun, according to planete and sun's location.
You'll need to use a light set to point so it emits light in all directions. Put it inside your sun mesh but need to somehow make it to where the sun mesh will not cast shadow or block the light from it. Havnt tried that yet.
@@DanielGrovePhoto thanks alot ,i will try
Does not work. Followed exactly.
Which version are you using? Which render engine - eevee or cycles? And which part did not work exactly?
Around 13:45 when the clouds go transparent its stil not transparent for me. even with mix shader and transparent BSDF nod.
no problem i have fixed it. At render Prop i had to chance it from eevee to cycles.

After struggling for a couple years trying to make decent planet pictures in Photoshop to use in my spaceart I came across this tutorial. I'm now super excited about the possibilities in Blender! Thank you so much for a very informative and easy to follow tutorial
Yay That's what I do this for and I agree Photoshop is not profeicient at planet art and you're very limited on things. Certain things that Blender will do with just a few nodes will take a long time in PS and it's not consistent - like atmosphere and shading. So happy you found this video and I'd love to see your renders when you're ready! Daniel@danielgrovephoto.com
I'm making a part 2 for some really epic celestial objects!
@@DanielGrovePhoto Sounds awesome! Looking forward to it :-)
Diffuse Image as Bump? :D Why!? :D
When it's all you have it's all you have! NASA hasn't released bump maps for plantets that I know of.
I too, I love planets😆
thank you so much for this! i was struggling to make a planet comparison
Where is part 2
Hey! Can i use a gtx 1650 ti + i5 10th gen and 16 gigs of ram for that type of stuff?
Absolutely! Render times only get high when you start using volume materials for atmospheres, not sure of if I covered that in this tutorial or not.
@@DanielGrovePhoto thank you for your response 🙏🏽 btw nice video
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
U r best bro!
Is it impossible to export the planets into Unreal or unity? thnks
Not impossible. You just need the texture maps and uv and the mesh. Might be easier to make them in unreal. Certain things from blender won't transfer over I'd think though like the procedural nodes for atmosphere, and other node based textures.
thanks man! really cool video btw!
My cloud sphere just stays black :(
You need to change the alpha settings for that material. What version are you using?
@@DanielGrovePhoto I got it working thx a lot tho
Great toutorial and also the voronoi is now my new favourite node😂
That was awesome! I'll wait for an advanced tutorial, too!
Incredible video!! Thanks so much :)
make a part 2 please
omfg... having to search for effing nodes has been the bane of my existence... THANK YOU SO MUCH for telling us how to solve that with such a simple keystroke
Haha call me lazy I call it efficient! F3 on windows also does the search function. I never use those menus anymore! Same when modeling search can find any function you need. Just type the first 2 or 3 letters of it.
Awesome vid looks hard hope I do planets new to blender can you do solar system. Can you turn it into a game regards
doing this for a homebrew D&D campaign
not bad.
Just caught this. Subbed immediately.
Thanks! How did you find it? Be sure to check out my Epic Space Scene tutorial too it's great though the geo nodes part has changed slightly with Blender 3.0 changed, I have a video on new geo node scattering too.
@@DanielGrovePhoto Will do! I watch a lot of blender videos, so the algo on youtube served you up.
this is one of the best YT tutorials ever made on blender
Well thank you! It would be if I didn't forget to explain how to properly setup the alpha portion of the cloud layer :P oops! But it is one of my most popular. I guess I should make part 2 huh?
@@DanielGrovePhoto absolutely.
You don't get the best result by using the texture map for bump. For most planets that have decent texture maps available there are proper greyscale heightmaps and for Mars there certainly is. NASA has been mapping Mars using the MOLA (Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter) satellite for years so a search for "MOLA heightmap" will give you great resources. You can then blend the NASA Mercury heightmap using "ADD" or a maths node of some kind to get the blended bump you need if you're blending their colour textures.
Oh that's a great tip! Thanks for commenting that information.
HOW DOES THIS GUY NOT HAVE AT LEAST 100K SUBS? i'm subscribing
Haha that's what I'm saying! I'll get there. Thanks man. What topics would you like to see me do?
Cool. Any thoughts on a shader for city lights on the planets surface?
You can find night photos of cities taken from ISS and use those just make sure the scale is realistic. If you want to make it procedural you can use various voronoi noise patterns mixed or masked with other grid patterns to make random light dots. Be sure they are an emission shader mixing or adding to the planet surface shader. I wish Blender's texture painting was quicker and easier so we could do things like this manually.
@@DanielGrovePhoto Thanks. :) Much appreciated. Need to do the moon with colonies soon, was wondering, can't seem to find a decent tutorial for that specific thing.
@@Ricovision100 Well how detailed does it need to be? Just specs of light from orbit or actual structures or structures with actual terrain around it for closer scenes?
@@DanielGrovePhoto Just the specs from orbit.
@@Ricovision100 Ah okay well check out the procedural building textures in this file. They may be a starting point for you.

very well
I've followed step-by-step so far but when I reach 13:51 and move connect the nodes from transparent BDSF to the top shader on the mix node it stays the same and you can't see my planet texture beneath the clouds.
Apologies, ignore me! Followed the comment below, just needed to look up what eevee and cycles were first..... :)
Yep I'm kicking myself I didn't explain that trick in the video! Thought I did but nope. Blender needs to fix that annoying problem.
how do I change the color of the stars and space???
Use a MIX RGB mode set to color, put stars in Color 1 and pick a color in Color 2. It should blend the color in to the stars. Or use a Curves node and play with RGB curves independently. For realism try to have some stars bluer and some more red.
@@DanielGrovePhoto thank you I will try and do that😄
I actually prefer to pay for assets, usually they are better quality. Thanks for this video. Looking forward to more space animation videos.
I'll be selling some really cool procedural planets soon. I've currently got a gas giant, earth like planet, and a Rocky lava planet. All with easily controllable node groups.
Very inspiring. THX++
One ? regarding your lava tex part. You said this can be applied for cities as well. What is the best way to add night side lightning like city lights on earth ? These are visible inside the earth shadow but not w/in non-shadow parts. Can shadows be used as a mask ?
Thank you! And that's a great question! I haven't figured it out perfectly but if I do I will include it in part 2. One idea I just had is to use compositing and use the shadow pass as a mask! It might just work to kill/allow the emision pass in certain area. There are also some light path nodes I don't understand yet haha maybe something in there.
how did you rearrange the two windows? at 10 . 23 minutes
You can see me do it with explanation at 2:55. You can drag up/down or left/right to create different layouts.

Hi, i love your tutorial, but could you please help me ? I am getting some shadow (a ring) casted on the planet from sun and i have no idea how to get rid of it.
Are you using eevee or cycles? Do you have any overlapping atmosphere spheres that are slightly larger than the planet surface sphere?
@@DanielGrovePhoto I am using cycles and I only have the clouds and atmo like you showed in the video
@@vojtastir2382 I had this problem too. For some reason, the fresnel has a shadow too. To turn it off, when you selected the atmosphere, go to "Object Properties", then open the "Visibility" tab, then the "Ray Visibility" and turn the "Shadow" off. This worked for me.

What you are saying about the image wrapping perfectly around the sphere without you UV unwrapping.. this is new to blender after version 2.79
Yes I learned that after making this video and I'm so glad they did it.
heyy, at 34:30 you are using 'UVs to grid squares'. with my blender it isnt showing. can you turn that on or is it a bug?
It's actually free add-on that used to be included with blender but then stopped. You have to go find online
@@DanielGrovePhoto is there any other way?
@@bartthegull7268 for spheres? Not that I know of. You can also use textools which is so free.
@@bartthegull7268 also I think they changed the default sphere unwrap to be more usable for panoramic maps. I'll try it tonight
What is the difference between the color map and the bump one? I'm confused. So how would you make a bump map from a photo?
Simple! Color of a material is what's seen on the surface (if light is on it) bump simulates geometry and implies shape along the surface. You can use a color. Image as a bump map if you don't have an actual bump map image. The black to white values are used to generate the bump. Make sense?

For some reason when I plug my color ramp for the atmosphere into the factor of the mix, it loses the ability to be transparent. I tried the Eevee>Blend Settings>Alpha Blend thing, but it doesn't do anything
That's very strange. Have you tried swapping the black and white handles to invert it?
And is it a mix shader or mix rgb you're using.
Tons of fun. A huge percentage of why I got into Blender is in this!
Oh yea? What kind of stuff do you do or make?
thnkyou sir
You are welcome.
