Can someone reproduce this planet shader I found on youtube?

Greetings! I found this video that is showing, somewhat, the blueprint tree for a planet shader material. I want to duplicate this so badly, but alas, I don’t understand the red nodes and how they interact with the lighting source. There also seems to be some bloom / post process stuff in there…

Thank you kindly! I did post some other posts regarding planet shader but nothing attractive came out. This blueprint tree looks much simpler than what I’ve seen in other places so it is a good candidate :smiley:

Hi there,

Here you go. I made it for you but note that i havent done any normal maps or background stars. Consider it as a homework for you. :wink:

And you may want to replace the textures with 4K.
