Blender Fiery Gas Giant + Breakdown/Tut
Did this over the course of a few days in blender 3D. The entire thing is procedurally generated. Breakdown down below.
Whole planet
The storm at the poles
Some of the lights on the dark side of the planet
Base light layer, some simple distorted noise
Add a thin layer of volume emission covering the base layer of lights, this will help exaggerate the light scattering effects in the clouds
add a layer of volumetric clouds, the method i used is similar to what you can find in this tutorial I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNt0s7zgMFI
and the texture I used you can find in my discord server: https://discord.gg/EVJ8ytNEBN
Add another layer of emissive haze to emulate an atmosphere of sorts
do some color grading, and there you go!
