Cool!

I got a tip

you can add a turbulent displace effect on the clouds to make 'em more organic

Thanks Andrew! Keep up the great work!

Hello sir, Very good stuff. I have purchased all your tools so now I don't feel like a free loader :) loving them... I would love some really good (more) 8mm fx, good burst of light with color from the film gate? I have some but I see better on TV any help there...

Anyway people, if you google the names of the .jpg files he is using like "earthmap" you will find some of the stuff you are looking for...

Thank you

Man you are the best your tuto has been a great help thanks alot and may God bless you even more.

you can also alt-pick whip the scale for the stars to the radius of the master earth, if you are going to zoom in and stuff

I'm sorry that you couldn't blow up the moon, Andrew. :( btw, epic song... YAY!

lol, thanks for the tutorial, I love the humor you insert in each video :P

this vid although very cool, seems to be broken

Thats nOT South Africa

Thanks from Latvia

Not just this tutorial but all your tutorials are great. you,re very generous. Thanks a lot man.

You can use Spherize instead of CC Shpere

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.

wow!i like your sense of humor.some guys are too serious about your jokes..lol.actually they are a big help to the tutes.jokes help eliminate some of boring moments when learning something.i love the eclipse!!!!!the best!!thanks a lot!

great tito, but I have a problem, I don't know where get the Expression: Radius y I couldn't complete the tutorial, someone could help me please?

Coooooooooooooooool

you are great, funny and very helpful, I feel more comfortable with AE now, eh this is from a videocopilot girl :)

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.

Hey thx for the tutorials i learn with you so much in 5 days do a tutorial like a energy ball how to do a energy ball if you want of course
But anyway thx Andrew
From Portugal !!!!!!!!! =D :D

i'm a beginner but your commentary bing me as a pro

Another great Tutorial by the great Andrew Kramer

check out my version

LOLOLOL south Africa XD

It was actually South AMerica....

But, ur awesome! lol

I want to read this tuto.. but there is no vedio...
it shows blank page...

please check over it

need help it dosent looks like a sphire for me

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.

where's the moon?

great tutorial though

yeah nab that is great jah bless

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

Thank you Andrew,you said "i hope this tut useful for you" Belive it is more useful than u can imagine. Thank you, you give us hope:)

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.

Awesome tutorial! You are my hero dude. This tutorial is both hilarious and educational. That song at the end! That killed me! =D

Dear Andrew,
i'm a big fan of you, but i have to say; I'm a brazilian guy, and in the begining of this tutorial you said "you can go to wherever you whant, so south africa..." and that is definitively not south africa, it's South AMERICA!
but that's ok! =)
we are accustomed with that! =)
thant you very much for the tutorial, you are teach me a lot of things!
see you!

When I add the CC sphere to the image there is a big X on the earth. Anyone figure that out?

Hi dear Andrew
i don`t know what should i say,ur graet,no ur angel.
thank u verymuch ,u try hard for us.
i have a aquestion my AE doesn`thave CC what should i do ?thank u .i love u as my best freind.

Greattings from Portugal.

Hey the tutorial was brilliant, thousand thanks you have helped me too much, regards from medellin colombia!!!

I dont know how to thank you for these tutorialss
Andrew you are....a G!

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.

=]

Andrew Kramer is a God!
And so generous,
very very
grateful

hey andrew! this is a SWEET tutorial but i was wondering what you used for the map pictures? did you use google earth images? or did you get license free pictures from somewhere?

That Was So Easy I So Thought This Would Be SOOOO Hard...thanks for another great tutorial!

Nice tutorials you're doing, I've learned quite a lot just watching you scour the menus and pickwhippin' attributes. Thanks for another great tut!

Great Tutorial!

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?

Andrew. You do know you're a god at AE right? Big fan mate, I just got one small correction for you in this Tut...

That's not South Africa mate. =D

You're pointing at Argentina during the beginning of this Tut...


But hey... who's counting.

Thanks pal!

You help me a lot in a huge bunch of things with these tutorials

Regards!!

This tutorial is Great! But I have a problem. I need a close up of the continents.
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!

how can i get the cc sphere after afect

I almost click off when I hear you say you had a song for the ladies out here in space...hey, what happened to that song! That was so funny...ya, but finish the song...Congrats on the year anniversary even though it was probably a year ago but I just started AE and have to get caught up.

Thks a ton for all the phenomenal tutorials here! and including this Blue Earth!

Thank you for all these good tutorials, I'm learning almost daily from you. You are the best ).

From Germany

Dude your awesome! I'm a noob at AE, just starting out, and you have helped a lot man thanks!

Thanks for sharing that videos and tutorials. I learned a lot from you. You have awesome skill. :)

From Turkey.

Just One thing i want can we use it to make a solar eclipse is yes then how can we use it

folks asking how to get rid of their "green lines".. those might come from using DEMO plugins and won't go away unless you pay for the plugins you're using.

man you r great ceep it like that we learn a lot tnx

hi, Andrew

how do I make the back of the earth connected together not like a half tennis ball when I rotate it

Based on several of your tutorials, i've created this cool looking sun. Without your tutes man, i doubt i'd be able to create this. Created the flares from Trapcode Form and added Shine to it for that cosmic feel.

Thanks again mate. all the way from Australia.

Take a look: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=gpSwsNYWX4o

Ok - I watched the tutorial and tried to build this in AE6.5 - now it won't render properly - not sure what I did wrong, but I can't even get the RAM Preview to work.

Any ideas what I might have done wrong? Thanks.

Just got to knw abt this site/trainingh after a long long search on stuff like this

South Africa? I didn't expect that kind of comment comming from the tutorials that I so much appreciate.

dude I got cc sphere but when I install it it says the file is missing and if you hit project you get the pics and installation thing for people who cant find cc sphere and the earth pic

hihitavec --- You must hold Alt Double click to open MasterEarth comp. Don't only double click.

Thanks Andrew.. It's Pretty Good.. Keep rocking..
Can I take the Video Tutorials as portable SWF file or ZIPped?

i can't double click on MasterEarth, then isn't open new window with the earthmap image. i dont know how to do atmosfere on earth. Please help

Great tutorial! Got quite a lot from this one, thanks.

(The Trial of AE does come without some plugins. Go for the education price if you can ...)

Scott Bishop, well not all of us have a thousand dollars scott! I didn't steal I downloaded the trial, its not on there?

hey andrew whats uo , i find this tutorial very helpfull but i have a problem i have after effects 7.0.1 and it doesnt comes whit cc efects (cycore effects) like cc sphere how can i get those thanks

Everyone who is complaining about the CC plugins..you need to BUY after effects and not steal it from the internet, then you will find the plugins on the install CD!!

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

Pretty cool Tutorial thenks Andrew Kramer

I had watched this tutorial before but I couldn't participate because it turned out my version wasn't legit. but now I have a legit version and I did this one last night. I love it!!!!

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!!!!

everythime i need to use an effect that starts with CC , it says it missing?

GUys, i just wanna know how to get rid of the green 'X'. Can any pro pls teach us!! THx!!
