ATMOSPHERE AND FINAL TOUCHUPS To get the final realism in the image, you need to ad atmospheric haze to the outer corners of the sphere. As the earth curves away from the camera, there's more atmosphere obscuring the surface. This makes the effect you see in the right image. You make this effect with the outermost sphere. A little experimentation is needed here. |

The final thing you need
to make the image I created is to do something with the
night side.For this I used the moon lit texture. This
might not be so realistic, but it looks very cool, don't
you think?? I did some image processing of the final
image in Photoshop as well. To see a final rendering with the Earth, Moon and stars go to part 5. There you will also find some real images from satellites and spacecraft's to see how it should look like. You can also find links to some interesting places that will help you. |
