In the past few weeks I’ve had many opportunities to play around with the Earth Digital 2.0 project file from Syntactic Labyrinths. Have been making many tiny adjustments as the days passed and I learned to better see the mistakes I’ve made. A big thing for me was getting the density levels right for each layer of the atmosphere. Then I linked them through Xpresso with Math nodes to keep the proportions between them correct. Now it’s so much fun to adjust the atmosphere density on a shot by shot basis.

Always keeping reference images handy to base my judgements on, but yeah! I’m quite happy with this week’s set of renders.

Shoutout to Chaos Corona for always surprising me with how effective they are at rendering space scenes!
