I've done many tutorials on showing how

0:00:15.839,0:00:22.320
to make deep space images from planets

0:00:18.990,0:00:25.939
to galaxies and now I'll show you how to

0:00:22.320,0:00:28.529
make a planet exploding from its core I

0:00:25.939,0:00:32.219
downloaded this dried mud texture from

0:00:28.529,0:00:34.469
cg textures calm for your convenience I

0:00:32.219,0:00:36.469
provided a direct link of the texture in

planet original make it visible let's

0:06:54.840,0:07:00.810
add a wide energy field radiating out

0:06:57.750,0:07:04.650
from the planet make the background

0:07:00.810,0:07:09.660
active fill it with black and make a

copy of it go to filter render and

0:07:09.660,0:07:20.910
clouds go back to filter render and

0:07:16.620,0:07:26.940
difference clouds repeat the filter

0:07:20.910,0:07:31.260
three more times go back to filter blur

0:07:26.940,0:07:38.750
