create a gas giant planet scene in after effects

By July 30, 2010No Comments

Chris Johnson-Standley with a tutorial where he creates a space scene entirely in After Effects. As I went through this, I was thinking if I found an employee of mine actually doing this I would probably fire him! – not the best use of time for sure, but it is interesting that the entire thing can be done in an application like after effects.

“In this tutorial you’ll learn how to create a Gas Giant planet, moons, sun and starfield totally in After Effects. This tutorial makes extensive use of Fractal Noise which can be used to create a whole host of visuals, and some expressions to link the light direction on the different elements we create.”
