PLANETS

Simple Planets
39m49s
We’ll get started by creating simple rocky planets.

Advanced Planet
57m50s
Then we’ll experiment with more advanced multi-layered planets with atmosphere.

Planet Close-up
38m36s
Have you ever wanted to create a 3D planet, then zoom in and see the beautiful details? Look no further.

Procedural Planet
1h26m20s
We’ll take a look at procedural texturing to create any number of exo-planets. And we’ll animate the clouds in a timelapse style.

Procedural Gas Planet
35m27s
And not to leave gas giants out there in the cold, we have you covered too.

ASTEROIDS

Procedural Asteroid
35m47s
Asteroid from scratch? Easy. Just use the procedural modeling techniques.

Asteroid – Baking Textures
14m47s
Before creating the vast fields of asteroids, we need to optimize this guy. And bake textures to low-poly model.

Asteroid Field
1h06m48s
Once you have asteroids, naturally you have to fly through them in an asteroid field.

SPACESCAPES

Image-based Spacescape Part 1
47m34s
We need the fancy backgrounds for our space stuff. Let’s paint some spherical space panoramas!

Image-based Spacescape Part 2
21m37s
How to create a super high resolution space background? Box mapping plus seamless textures. That’s how.

Procedural Space Panorama
Parts 1-3
1h22m36s
Bursting with more space panoramas, we’ll take a look at some of our procedural texturing options.

GAS CLOUDS

29m47s
After watching this chapter you’ll know how to create convincing nebulae (while cheating a little bit).
We’ve got a procedural animated sun surface to heat things up! HOT!

SUN

1h10m11s
Learn how to create the brightest objects in the galaxy – quasars. We’ll explore one of these monsters, from the accretion disk to the energy jet.

QUASAR
44m33s
And how about a Comet or with a slight tweak to your colors you have a meteor streaking through the sky.

COMET
47m32s

BLACK HOLE!
13m57s
Like all dramatic conclusions, we end up in a black hole. Where there is no escape. But it does look cool.
