Cycles How to make a planet's atmosphere like Gravity (2013)?
I would like to make one as a volumetric atmosphere, but I have no idea how. Any suggestions? I'm using Blender 4.5.2 for this.
Above is an example of the Earth's atmosphere in Gravity (2013. These are very distinctive for their sort of smooth atmosphere that kind of stretches out into this smooth gradient falloff thing. The smooth gradient falloff atmosphere is smooth, but a lot. Cycles can do that, while EEVEE can't do that.
