1.9 Solar System
Objective
Practice the 4 Laws of Light while developing simple rendering skills.
To create 3 dimensions on a flat surface, we can use “The Laws of Light.” Download the worksheet and add your renderings of each law.
Next, create a 4k document and create a basic solar system.
- Render the 1st Law by creating a shaded sphere in a vacuum with a single light source.
- Show the 2nd Law by creating a 3-planet solar system where the planets farthest from the light source are darkest.
- Practice the 3rd Law by creating moons and rings that cast shadows.
- Add bounce light to the moons according to the 4th Law.
- Add stars and other details for fun.
