Over the past few days I have been trying to find methods that will improve my overall shot, but no matter how much I tried, my scene just seemed to look plain and boring. Therefore, I decided to make a backdrop. I needed to create something that was related to the scene but an object that wouldn't be to distracting, so I created a planet. I needed to create this planet from scratch as unlike the other models that the Destiny community provides, I needed full customization of my model. I began by watching a video tutorial by the 'PolygonIsland' YouTube video. This video covers how to create the planet of Jupiter, however, this will be a great base of which I can build my plant upon. By adding additional effects such as the planetary rings and color correction controls I was able to create the perfect planet for my animation. The task of creating the planet was very straight forward and if you want to follow the tutorial yourself I will place the link below. Considering how straight forward the process was, the results where phenomenal. This is also the first-ever model that I have created in Blender, ad it was incredibly fun.
However, the planetary rings was a much harder process, it was straightforward forward but you will definitely need have a basic understanding of texturing nodes (which I didn't). However, after watching the video a few times and experimenting with the nodes controls I began to understand what they all did.
