step 1 of 20

This is the foreground terrain. It's a standard heightfield terrain, I used a brush to make the mounds.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 1

step 2 of 20

This is the middle ground terrain, again I used a brush to create the mounds

Creation of Cold planet: Step 2

step 3 of 20

This is the distant ground terrain. Using a brush I created the mounds.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 3

step 4 of 20

This is the mountain terrain on the left, it's a procedural terrain which meant I could use a noise/fractal map to create it. you can the map on the sphere.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 4

step 5 of 20

This is the mountain on the right. Again i used a fractal map to create it. This only has slight variations to the mountain on the left.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 5

step 6 of 20

These are the spikes, created with a small brush.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 6

step 7 of 20

This is the default material I used for the snow on the 3 standard terrains.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 7

step 8 of 20

This is the material editor, i wanted to make some changes to the material, by adding a noise map.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 8

step 9 of 20

I added this noise map to the highlights section of the material to try and achieve a sparkly type snow. Don't think it worked though with the lighting conditions.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 9

step 10 of 20

The mountains material is made from two materials mixed together. This is the first material.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 10

step 11 of 20

This is the second material used in the mountains.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 11

step 12 of 20

This is the material editor where I mixed the two mountain materials. I used a fractal map in the function editor to disperse the snow and rock.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 12

step 13 of 20

This is the function editor, where I made the fractal map to distribute the two materials.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 13

step 14 of 20

This is the first planet an enlarged version of mars.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 14

step 15 of 20

This is the second planet, which a default version of venus.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 15

step 16 of 20

This is an omni light I used to light the mountains.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 16

step 17 of 20

These are the light settings I used in the atmoshere editor.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 17

step 18 of 20

I had two layers of clouds. these are the types and settings of the clouds I used.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 18

step 19 of 20

In the effects tab of the atmosphere editor I clicked the tab to add stars.

Creation of Cold planet: Step 19

step 20 of 20

These are the fog and haze settings of the atmosphere.
