hey
The Earth with nightlights, the starmap should be very simple...
max & ps
hope you like it.
edit
DD O_O ! big thanks to
and thanks for all your
's and comments !
@ all that ask how i made it, im not 100% sure anymore but the earth has ~5 rendered layers with 8k earth map and a nightmap a few falloff maps, composited in ps, can be that the atmo is a combo of ps glow and rendered 3d atmo, cloud map is composed of a few sky photos. the starmap i still dont like
and at the cloud layer is still something to fix.. i hate textures that dont fit on spheres
i think the raytracing shadows from the cloud map did a good job
btw the water is a shader.
thanks again to all and
, i hope i find time to answer some more comments

And I'm surprised this isn't just a regular space photo. It's so real it's hyperreal. And it looks wonderfully solid in a way pictures of Earth don't often look.
