Earth :p

I've used a volume primitive as the ocean to try and get a none solid/shader look like the real earth, took a while to set up the light driven transparency, but got a lil help off Neo

The earths texture is absolutely massive, can't remember where i got it from, 32000x32000, you can zoom right in to satellite view and see all the features beautiful, and its fully animatable, the clouds are bumpmapped up close, i wanted to have a planet earth that was good at any distance, and this is best i could get it, c+c welcome btw the crappy starfield is just a temp i knocked up in glitterato, i'll do a close up shot and post that.....hopefully it'll hold up i haven't tried it yet, it takes 40 mins to render @640
