Bored yet?

Haven't had a lot of time, so apologies to anyone who looks at this blog and is tired of small tweaks to these stars and planets, but alas, here's yet another. :) Oh, ignore the stars that appear in front of Earth - again, the problem is that Maya applies the glow effect after the render. To fix this, I'll just have to render it in passes and composite in After Effects - like a good professional should anyway. The thing to pay attention to here is the alteration to the camera move during the planet flyby. Still needs adjustment, but this is definitely more dynamic. Sadly, I just saw a clip from "Space Chimps" featuring a similar sequence, but hey, Star Trek really did it first anyway.
