Yesterday night I was browsing through Video CoPilot in order to practice using AfterEffects.
I found a tutorial that shows you how to create a cool Earth, adding atmosphere, rotation and lighting.

Here is some of the screenshots of the process I had taken and the finished edit below.

Here is the finished edit. In terms of quality the footage had to be converted just to post it on here, therefore some quality has been lost.
Good to see you have done lots of technical research recently. And it looks as though you are much more engaged with the course this semester.
ReplyDeleteI am finding your blog a bit difficult to navigate as you haven't used tags so user has to scroll through chronologically. It's a long journey through photos and screen shots, Would be helpful if you could tag Image Factory and Reflections separately.
