Gas giant

A giant planet is any massive planet . They are usually primarily composed of low-boiling-point materials (gas or ices), rather than rock or other solid matter, but massive solid planets can also exist. The term gas giant was coined in 1952 by the science fiction writer James Blish and was…

Something else spacey I made in C4D. 'Nother Gas Giant

Another planet made in Substance Designer. I went for a Jupiter like gas giant. This one turned out to be more difficult then i thought. Approaching an object of that size (without a solid surface) like any regular material doesn't work that well. The usual roughness, normal and ao maps have the effect of making it look like a miniature or made of something different then gas so i had to work with the base color map mostly.

Hypothetical scene of a huge gas giant planet looming beyond some of its moons, one of them being Earth-like. If there is life on this Earth-like satellite it is doomed - as the satellite orbits the gas giant it is gradually getting closer to the planet and will soon break up due to tidal forces.
