Please could you give a link to the files you used?

It's a little difficult in 2012 to find the same arrangements.

[MrFerdifuchs]

I made my first planet, thank you very much m8!!!

[INSAINIACAD]

Great video, but when I apply the material to the sphere it repeats itself all over. How can I just wrap the single image around the sphere?

Thank you

[KanaMKN]

Graet vid!! Can you put video of modeling The Sun????????

[isaaczuren]

I have a Texture of the earth of 200401x21600 but is divided in 8 parts and I cant join them togather because they are too large. HELP!!!!!!

[mangeload]

I applied your techniques to one of my final projects, which I have uploaded. Check out my vid - "2012 Alien Takeover". Oh, and thank you - I got an A.

[Ginissi]

[rusk1992]

awesome tut!!

[trekski]

what if you made the oceans (water) more shiny then the land. is that possible with some sort of alpha map? thats be cool and much more realistic i guess ;)

[inquestFLASH]

ive made an animation of a tube doing a 360 loop(like a spehere planet orbiting) from frame 0 to frame 100 it all goes well until the ending,when it gets to 0 frame again its like it has ease when it starts getting faster as the frames pass.

is there way just to keep it looping the same pace?

[Zynt453]

I got the textures, but when I select the material it tiles like bloody mad, any tips on how to stop it tiling?

[mmesMerr]

Great Video I really appeciate it! Thanx m8!

[controlwales]

Excellent Step by step tutorial and very easy to understand and well made.

This has helped me learn a lot about 3D max, well done and thank you.

[Crusedman]

thanks, this helps me alote!!!!^^

[videofxuniverse]

I didn't steal anything, ths tutorial was made 2 years ago and is a very common way to make planets, so if it seems similer to other tutorials it doesn't mean its stolen. if you get taught how to drive you cant tell the instructor he stole the tutoring from another driving school

[smallc28]

@videofxuniverse lol good 1

[klakson88]

The continets are just as shiny as oceans... I know there is a way to change it, but i don't know how... yet :P

but thanks anyway :)

[markjason2]

[RockGoth119]

[TheunforgivingCam]

[ittdust]

material editor -> show map in viewport; its the blue and white box

[R33LRippin]

[bonros90]

[Blackholedudeman]

how can I put the textures of earth?

[randomdave]

great, thanks

[sugroven]

GAH! thats why i hate editors. maps and 3d editors.. it never goes as planned. even my cloud layer gets another color than the actual clouds. and i do exactly as you do. help me please.

[MasteringWays]

I apply the texture on the sphere but the texture comes out all deformed and stretched on the sphere. What settings should I change to get the videos desired effect?

[sl4sherXL]

i have the same problem its all stretched out and pixally :(

[sugroven]

mine gets just darkgrey :S

[kulkid40]

@MasteringWays mess around with the tile sizes

[ady21boy21]

It's work

[zialte]

ur video tutorial is soo cool but in the end when i create moon and earth and make animation, i turn camero so u can see Earth from all sides and the planets turn in silver paint...

[grumpu]

I having problem for the eart map wen iam ready to apply the picture to my sphere i dont see my sphere like in the vid after clicking every were to see what happend i click on show standard map in vewport and i see all the picture of earth but in every little vewport

[nickrose83]

I'm having problems with this tutorial, whenever i apply my earth map it tiles strangely over the sphere. I have tried changing some of the settings to no avail! help! pls!

[InvincibleJonny]

the same happened to me when u find out could you tell me how to fix it?

[nickrose83]

I figured it out. When you create an object, go to the modifier tab and at the bottom there is a checkbox labelled "Real world map size" - turn it off.

[crw2223]

when you cloned the sphere, why did you scale it up that way? You can scale it uniformly by just clicking and dragging on the center of the triangle. There's no need to scale each axis individually.

[pinkyripper10]

TNX MAN!it helped me allot!!

[MouthofSaurons]

You have to find your own textures! How creative (i am serious!)

[arttechuk]
