For those of you working through this on version 3.5 or later, the shadow pass is gone. So to fix this, you have to instead use a Diffuse Direct pass instead. It's the first option under the "Light" category in the Passes tab. You will need to tweak the blur amount, but that will get you back on track. The more you zoom out from the Earth by the way, the more you'll have to crank up the blur amount. Hopefully that helps! :)

@@TellingSecrets So in Blender, on the right side of the program is all of your tabs. The top one should be the one that looks like the back of a camera, that is your Render tab. The 3rd one on that list that looks like some photos is called the View Layer tab. The View Layer tab is going to be where all of your render passes options are, specifically if you scroll down in that tab to the "Light" category. (Something you dont have to worry about for this tutorial but you should know if you keep using blender is that if you render multiple layers to combine for a final image, each layer you will need to come in here to tell Blender what passes you want.) Don't stress out too much, even experienced Blender users agree that Blender's UI is not great at best and a radioactive confusing monster of a mess at worst. Keep sticking with it, and eventually it will become second nature in no time! Good luck! I believe in you! :)

14:50 for those on the latest version of blender, I tinkered around for a good 20-30 minutes and my best substitute for there being no Shadow pass anymore is to use Ambient occlusion. I ran ambient occlusion through the blur filter and the color ramp and increased the percents on the blur filter. Its not as good as the Shadow pass, but it was the best I could get.

Don't use UV spheres if you don't want warping at the poles. Subdiv smooth a cube, then Shift-Alt-S to invoke Mesh ‣ Transform ‣ To Sphere. Then, to get the images displaying correctly, enable the included Node Wrangler addon, select the image node, and press Ctrl-T to generate the texture coordinate nodes. Finally, switch the output from the Texture Coordinate node from UV to Generated, and change the projection method of the texture to 'Sphere'.

@bamboopublishing8662 Жыл бұрын

Andrew, I still enjoy how you do these tutorials, other than that you make it look so DAMN easy! Other point of contention is what you said about the ocean being blue due to the reflection of the sky on it. It is only in extremely shallow water, rivers and some lakes, that the reflection is a major part. In the deeper water, it is more of an absorption and scattering issue. Water will absorb most of the light frequencies except for blue. The blue light is then reflected and scattered by stuff floating in the water, giving deep water a blue look. In the shallow parts of the ocean where there is a higher concentration of phytoplankton, the red and blue light is absorbed by the phytoplankton for photosynthesis, and the remaining green light is reflected, along with some scattered blue to give it the aqua color like off the coast of Acapulco. This is somewhat simplified. Keep up the great work!

Awesome work as always! Just a math tip when remapping the night-lights falloff. The dot product (when both of the vectors are normalized) will return values from -1 to 1 based on the difference between the vectors (1 for identical, 0 for perpendicular, -1 for opposite, etc), so for much easier control just plug the dot output into a map range with a From Min value of -1, a From Max of 1, a To Min of 1 and a To Max of 0. After that you can plug it into a ColorRamp and have complete and easy control of the falloff. Thanks for all your tutorials, I never would have got started in 3D without that original donut!

It's a hack I found online. -The brown tint in the area where the light meets the shadow can be reduced by adding a volume absorption node to the atmosphere material. -The atmospheric falloff at the edge can be simulated to a certain degree by using a fresnel node. This can be combined with the compositor approach from the tutorial for better effect.

You probably should increase the poly count on that. 🙂 PS: could you do a comparison between the quality of the full blown, max res images and poly counts and the low res one you did here? I'd love to see if the whole thing would be worth it or people should go with low / medium quality for most works out of studio?

Hello, for anyone that is having issues where your cloud is blurry, out of focus, the atmosphere looks weird. Go to your cloud layer and make sure the correct shader was added for Transparent and not Translucent. This will fix the blurred look.

For the fuzzy atmosphere, you need a Gradient texture (radial) fac plugged into a colour ramp which has its colour plugged into the density of the Volume scatter. Dial in the colour ramp so the black is around position 0.565 - you'll also need a mapping node before the gradient (ctrl T) . After this, I mixed the above with a transparency node, just to ease back the atmosphere a little. Seemed to work well.

@LethalChicken77 Жыл бұрын

The correct way to make the atmosphere look good is by using the object coordinates to create a sphere with exponential falloff. Then just tune the values until the surface has the density you want and the atmosphere is as thick as you want.

I think there's a bit more light between the daylight and darkness. You're not accounting for timers on lights and a lot of people don't wait until it's really dark to turn on lights. Also a lot of US city/municipal/freeway/street lights are timed to come on at dusk - at least for public safety reasons.

not really, the amount of distance between night and dusk, especially at this scale wouldn't really be noticeable

When desaturating the oceans you actually made some coral reefs gray in the process. To keep reef colors I did the following: 1. Use the "Separate RGB" node and feed the color image to it. 2. The blue channel output of this node is fed into a math node with "less than" operator, and 0.1 as the threshold. 3. Finally multiply the output of this math node with the land ocean texture using another math node and feed this output to the fac in HSV. This was my first blender project and I can't keep but think I should've started earlier with your original earth tutorial. This is so much fun! Can't wait to try more.

I think if you use an "environment texture" node instead set to equirectangular, that should map the texture as a 360 photo instead of using the UVs
