The Blue Marble
Added 2016-01-27 19:22:16 +0000 UTCWhile I finalise the planet, I thought it worth sharing a link that helped me break planet rendering down into manageable chunks. Robert Simmon created an excellent simulacrum of Earth using multiple rendered 2D and 3D elements composited in Photoshop.

The attached image shows the elements I am working with to put Chriirah together, along with still to be added atmospheric effects.
