TUTORIAL NOTES:
NOTE: The only reason it says South Africa, is because I had to record this tutorial twice. And because I'm not that good at geology.

Hey Andrew, love your tutorials and they help me a great deal as a beginner in AE.
I'm using AE CC at the moment and I have the issue of the globe looking in low quality even though my precomp img is at 16k. Probably due to the fact I'm using suretarget2 and rotated my globe to about 2/3 of the screen size (1080).
Any idea how i may fix this?
Any help would be appreciated!

The only thing I miss in a lot of these tutorials, while they are awesome, is not what you are doing, but why. Why are you creating duplicates, why are you precomposing, etc??

Hi, Im probably being a thick here but how do you get the files that you used in this tutorial? I clicked the download project file but its coming up as a zip file which wont open on my imac. Otherwise is there any other place I can find the elements that you have used, Im doing a project at college that involves a lot of space vfx shots so any advice would be great in finding things that I can use in the future. Thank you

Hi Andrew. Thanks for these great Tutorials. I have just purchased AE CS5.5 and I have been watching this tutorial The Blue Planet.Around the 8min 6 sec mark, when its time to add the atmosphere, I think you Alt double click on the Master Earth mask. You are then taken to a screen with earth map on it. When I try this I am taken to a screen with the earth as a globe. Not sure what is happening here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the informative tutorials. I have just started using after effects, but your help made it easier to jump in and start creating video effects. It is very exciting to be able to actually branch into the world of advanced graphics. Very well done!
I had a question about the graphics that were provided for this tutorial: are they provided under your video copilot license?
Again, thanks for all the help!

Andrew,
You are the funniest guy around (at least the funniest guy around who makes tutorial vids for AE). Thank you very much for the multitude of tutorials that you post on this site.
I was a bit overwhelmed trying to learn after effects before I found videocopilot.net. I had scoured youtube and found very few videos that were worth the price of admission. I happened upon one of your vids and was instantly hooked.
I hope you see this comment, because I would like to say a heartfelt "Thank you"

I learned a lot from this tutorial when I was first starting out, but since then I've found other ways of achieving a more "photorealistic" look.
The main thing is the atmosphere. You can just make a new layer with whatever color you want, add the "CC Sphere" filter on it and set it to screen. Then make it a little larger than the planet, add a small blur, and BOOM, a great looking atmosphere. Obviously the lighting and shading setting would change depending on what direction the planet is facing, etc. And you'd also want to parent everything together.

I took a stab at this project using AE 6.5. I had to improvise and do a bunch of manual keyframe settings; becuase, 6.5 doesn't have all the same fancy tools CS3 does - such as fractal noise and glow. I'm struggling with larger resolutions...the sphere's come out looking like eggs. Anyway...awesome tutorial. Here's my version of your project - the egg version.

Something to keep in mind is that if you are going to be using this for anything other than personal use, you can NOT use Google images. It's a violation of their license. However, NASA lets you use their images for free with no restrictions. As for the rotation, to ensure that you have a smooth rotation (without any hiccups, seamless rotation, etc.), put a keyframe in the first frame, then hit End to go the end of your comp and hit the PageDown key on your keyboard to advance one frame past the end, and in the Y Rotation, make it 1x360.

To find the earth pictures just do a google image search for 'Earth Map', it should be one of the first results. Same thing for the clouds, just do a google image search for 'Could Map' there are a few of each, just pick your favourites.

I found this to be a great tutorial. For added realism I duplicated the cloud layer, placing it under the original, and made the mode silhouette luma and offset it slightly and adjusted the opacity to create shadows of the clouds - it added a nice sense of depth to the atmosphere making the clouds appear to be up off the surface of the planet.

Alright anyone who has cc sphere, u most likely got it through the cycore fx hd pack, alright let me tell why there is a big x on it. It is because it is not unlocked, and its cost hundreds of dollars to buy the unlock key, buts that's for cycore fx 1.5 or 1.6, so I advise you to get 1.1. search cycore on youtube and look throught the videos, if when you download it and it says 1.5 or 1.6 delete it, and look for the 1 thats says 1.1 or 1.01, because it is already unlocked and there wont be any X, OK

Hello! I saw this tutorial and I spend more time with those stars and I noticed they are not every where when you use "Camera tool". If you need 3D stars you do particles and effect Particular and change the "Animatoin Present" to "t_SarfieldStatic1" that make it look like you are in space looking around.
I learned that from "Colorful Universe" tutorial.

Hello Andrew. Your way of teaching is very clear, funny and motivating. I just want to respectfully correct something you said in this tutorial. When you say south Africa, in fact you are showing us south America.

Too bad your Geographic knowledge isn't very broad.
In the video you called South America, South Africa.. No big deal, just millions of people in over a dozen countries... But hey.. what's the difference between an Emu and a Zebra, right?

That's not South Africa mate.
You're pointing at Argentina during the beginning of this Tut...
But hey... who's counting.

When I set the 3D camera the image gets blurred. I tried changing the picture, with a 8000x4000 one but it still looks blurred. Help please!

Guys, to find the earth image, just go to google images and type in "earth map 1000x500", the first two are reversed, but you can flip them in photoshop. For the clouds, type in google images: "cloud map" that's the same one as in the vid

I tweaked it to have the "eclipse" coming around the back of the earth and slowly moving off. I was going to post it but it's 1 gig big and seems to hang up in the middle.
Anyways great tutorial and I look forward to doing some of the other ones tonight!!!!

You are costing me alot of money Andrew.
New camera = £750, After Effects = £1.075, A new PC that can handle it all = £1,689.
That converts to about $500,000 or something like that.I think it is 100% worth it though,now i can use After Efffects properly thanks to you.

if youre looking for cycore effects (cc), then check out www.cycore.org. there, you can find a free demo that has everything that is in the real version, exept it will render with a green "x" ps: i`m from norway, so sorry for my poor english. pss: you can find the real version there too, but that will cost you some money…

Hiii!! Really amazing!!
I was creating the same thing and I found a nice idea, for the clouds, you can apply on it CC sphere and make it a little bigger radius than the earth, select the render mode: outside and apply a shadow on it, so the skys put a littre shadow on the earth like reality. And when earth turns, we see on the edges a nice sky effect!!!

**Helpful Hint For Viewers**
I found this to be a good tutorial, but I ran into the problem of having the clouds create a seam on side of the globe where they connected. This is do to the fact that Motion Tile is being used. *So what I suggest for anyone who wants to get around this issue is to make the clouds another layer on top of all of the earth layers, turn the mode to screen, throw a cc sphere effect on it. When this is done go to the effects panel of the cloud layer you just created and alt click the radius plus the offset and link them to the master earth's radius and offset. Then to get the clouds moving just mess with rotation of the cc sphere effect you threw on it. I hope this helps

To everyone that wants CC SPHERE
you can download a demo from a website, just google CC sphere download...
Or
for people with AE 7 its on the disc
this tutorial was great! Put it in 3D space along with a few other planets and animated the camera and a sun... wanted an effect like "INTERNET KILLED THE VIDEO STAR" trailer with the Earth and the sun, it's worked out well...
but I have got this green X through planet Earth, no idea why its there, what it's doing or whatever...
If anyone knows give me a shout!

Is there a way that you let your videos be tranlated or subtitled, ´cause this could be helpful to a lot of people who doesn´t speak english. Take care a lot

Hey, just wanted to say I really appreciate your site. The tutorials and products are amazing! I just upgraded from AE 6.5 standard to CS3, so they've been a huge help.
I'm wondering if there's a simple way to combine the earth zoom effect with the 3d earth in this tutorial. Any chance you can revisit this?
And people asking for the CC sphere plugin, all the CC presets will install with CS3 (not with the trial though), and it should come with 7.0. If you have an older version or a trial version, you won't have it unfortunately.
