The Earth and Moon

As practice in 3ds Max i decided to watch tutorials on different things in an attempt to gain a basic knowledge of all the different functions. I decided to make the Earth and Moon as this looked quite good on example i had seen.

The main part of making the planets are to use the material layers on each of the spheres. i downloaded the textures of the Earth and Moon from the Internet in order to create my render.

I rendered a still image of my Earth and Moon and also one with the camera moving around it. I think the final result is very effective.

My finished Earth was complete with a cloud layer and also a glowing atmosphere layer which i think looks really good.
