Hello Everyone,
I rendered Planet Earth in KeyShot 7.3 Pro.
The most difficult task was rendering the atmosphere. I used an extra sphere combined with gradient textures to create the glowing effect.
This is not perfect, maybe you guys have a better way to do it in Keyshot?
Thanks!

Not bad! Definitely a challenge (which is why I haven't tried it myself yet). Nice experiment.
Thanks! I had some spare time and decided to try something new in KeyShot :)
Five years ago I followed a Blender tutorial from "Blender Guru" on how to render a realistic earth.
But I couldn't find the original tutorial so I did everything from memory in KeyShot.
Blender Guru created a new tutorial using Blender Cycles:

Can I please get new units in KeyShot:
- km
- AU (Astronomical Unit)
- pc (Parsec) 8)
