Imagine if you can fly or freeroam beneath the many layers of a gas giant, and there's a massive weather circulation surrounding you everywhere, with thick gigantic 3D variation of clouds that you can fly in and out too. Rocky planets with dynamic changing weather that also interacts with the surrounding surface area, and dynamic oceanic waves depending on composition or tidal force, volcanic eruptions, physical interactions between planet orbital gravity. Maybe this is too much to be asked for from a 21 years old space simulation, but it would be cool to have a massive graphical and physics update.

Kepler-442 b is a rocky exoplanet located approximately 1,200 light years from Earth in the constellation Lyra. Based on current NASA data, it is estimated to be slightly larger than earth, with a radius of about 1.3 Earth radii, and is thought to have a mass of roughly 2-3 earth masses, although it's exact composition remains uncertain.

The planet orbits a K-type main-sequence (orange dwarf) star with an effective temperature of approximately 4,400 K at a distance of roughly 0.41 AU, placing it within the star's habitable zone.

This is a hypothetical visualization created in Blender, loosely informed by the currently known properties of the Kepler-442 system, while the planet's appearance remains entirely unknown.

A vast collections of planetary art i made and created ranging from present day to months ago. It's my favorite hobby. I enjoy it, i don't know if i'm ever gonna stop doing this, but i guess the future is uncertain.

Created In Blender

Saturn rises above Titan's atmosphere dominating the sky with visually prominent ring shadow stretching across Saturn. Created in Blender.

Replicating one of Saturnian moon Titan, the only moon in the solar system to have a thick dense atmosphere through Blender Program.

I made this icy planet scene in Blender and ended up using it as my desktop wallpaper. I was going for a cold, cinematic exoplanet look with soft nebula gases in the background.

Everything in the scene was made by me. Feedback on the lighting, textures, composition, and anything else is welcome!

If you saw my post yesterday, you'll probably like this one too.

I increased the exposure for two images so you can see the details :)

These aren't real photos – they're my renders of Earth made in Blender.

​

A few months ago, I set out to create photorealistic night-time renders of our planet, and I finally did it.

​

Most people forget that Earth isn't completely dark at night. It's not just a few yellow lights in the darkness. There's moonlight, airglow, and other subtle light sources that I tried to simulate in this artwork.

​

Hope you like it.

I rendered this entirely in Blender.

How would different variety of cultures across the globe revolve around this if the history of our planet took a different path than it is today. How would it affect the climate, most interesting part is that the ring shadow could seasonally migrate as earth orbits around the sun possibly creating an entirely new ring shadow climate categories.

I created this atmosphere shader for personalized use as a fun side hobbies, my scene (planet, clouds, etc...) are scaled down by a factor of 1000 to fit in blender units, i don't know how large of a scene blender can handle without breaking down, the atmosphere used physically derived density falloff based on scale height equation to accurately simulate or imitate earth's atmosphere density falloff, Planet mean radius = 6,639.67, Equatorial radius = 6,647 m, Polar radius = 6,625 m. Scale height = 8.4 m (Blender units) which would be distinctly similar to earth's atmosphere real scale height, 8.5 km or 8.34 m depending on the source of information.

I made it more interesting by making it slightly oblate to accurately mimic polar flattening but i don't think there's gonna be any visual difference.
