version 1.4.0 --- 07/01/25
Hi everyone,
Project goes to v1.4.0 with a lot of improvements and new features as well as some bug fixes.
I want to give credit to NASA Earth Observatory and NASA for all the textures which I have downloaded and edited.
Description is not final and will be updated when more features are added to the project.
About the project :
The project is now a full functional blueprint that you can drag and drop in your map level.
Most of the work comes from the textures. I have made unique textures based on the ones created by NASA.
The project has come a long way since the first version and I will keep updating to add more features based on your feedback.
The project can reach a resolution up to 32k for the earth and clouds which should still give plenty of room to render cinematic earth shots from space.
The look of the Earth and all the assets can be tweaked in the details window. Parameters are organized and some of them have description to explain what they do.
In this project, there are lot of parameters to be tweaked so feel free to play around with. Some of them have description and others are self-explanatory.
You will also find unique water mask based on water data set that I have stitched together.
You will also have a unique cloud texture map where I took the time to paint out all the dead pixels and satellite scanline issues but I have also added some unique clouds formation.
Here is a link to a video that goes over most of the features of the v1.0 : Cinematic Earth Project video overview
This will be updated in the future.
Here is a link to showcase what you can achieve with the project as of version v0.2 : Cinematic Presentation Video
