Planet Creation – Documentary Project

Hi,
I created this planet as part of a short documentary sequence.
The entire shot (from concept to final render) - was done entirely in Blender.
This piece explores how subtle surface details, light scattering, and color grading can bring a celestial body to life. The goal was to achieve a cinematic look that feels both scientific and emotional, representing the fragile beauty of distant worlds.

Process:-
*Procedural texturing for terrain and cloud layers
*Volumetric lighting to simulate atmosphere and sunlight falloff
*Compositing for lens effects, haze, and glow to enhance realism
