There have been a number of tutorials about using NASA pictures to create
a realistic Earth but the BlenderGuru one is the best, in my opinion: http://www.blenderguru.com/videos/create-a-realistic-earth/ As usual, I departed from the tutorial in a number of ways. This is from June 2011. Best viewed at full resolution. |

May I use your image for yet another iteration of my conference?
Let me know if there's another angle that might work better.
This was - by far - the toughest render of the bunch.
I had lots of trouble with the cloud layer, also it was quite
hard to get what I thought was a reasonable amount of
atmospheric diffusion (the blue 'glow' on the right).
The nice 'fade' from day to night was the hardest of all, I
was really pleased that my efforts panned out so nicely.
