Hey folks!
So I needed a new wallpaper, and this happened. I was inspired by Astro1derboy’s sketchbook, the Star Wars snowspeeder, 50’s and 60’s Sci_Fi movies, Stargate, Independence Day, and a Milton Bradley Simon game
Blender 2.71, rendered in BI. Background pic from NASA. There’s all kinds of “making-of” on pages #23 and #24 of my sketchbook if anyone is interested Thanks for having a look!
1920 X 1080
@michael90g: Thanks! The background pic is from NASA, but there’s a really nice tutorial on how to make an Earth like this, my PC just doesn’t have the power to render it out in under a decade
EDIT: That’s the original tutorial on how to make the Earth, but this is the one for the closeup(same guy):
Thanks a lot Craig, I had fun making it, and thanks for following it! A battle would be cool, maybe on my next one as I’m addicted to making spaceships now
