Great! Thanks for the help, that was a great tutorial. Greatly Appreciate it

9

no problem, post your work when you’re done. =)

10

Almost half a year later, and i’m done :beam:. Never leave a project unfinished =)

11

wow, that come out really good
I don’t really like the lens flare and the ringy thing around the earth

other than that, it looks really nice

12

looks a little odd, the lighting is falling on the earth from the front when the sun is on the left and a little behind:sigh:

Also look at the continents, they stick out. Lots of tweaking left.(i don’t know how to fix them, could use texturing… don’t know how :))

Look at the Clouds, the tutorial was made for PS 6, and didn’t mention any drop shadow, so i used the Drop Shadow in the blending options and it came out great! :thumb:

No moon (-:

13

thanks xxviii, i know what you mean about the lens flare :sigh: The ring was supposed to be the atmosphere, I should have used the Outer Glow blending option. PS 6 Tutorials… :sigh:

14

hmm, let me try an inner and outer glow for the earth atmosphere, be right back…:bounce:

15

Cybergold nice image dude… I have this thing for space… I love it
I kinda like the flare though… gives it a realistic feel when used in moderation …click my footer watch the video… :stuck_out_tongue:

16

Thanks. It was from that great tutorial ElectronGeek Found. Thanks Electron, really good tut! :thumb:

oh yeah, the inner/outer glow looks the exact same as that ring

17

if you are lazy, on the other hand, Flaming Pear provides a nice planet simulator - but i dont think you can make earth continent shapes…
anyway it’s called Lunar Cell…
