Renderings of my favourite planets/muns in banner form

These are excellent. Great job mate.

So in AE, when you render these out, do you render them as a picture file or do you just render out one frame and screenshot it or something along those lines. (I don't have any experience in picture editing in After Effects, so I don't even know if you can render out photos). Also, which version are you using? CS5? CS6?

So many questions!

I don't plan to make them all desktop sized, because that would involve a whole bunch more work to make them look like they should (there's a reason everything is cropped), but I might do a couple of high quality ones if I get time. Kerbol is almost done and will probably be in animated gif format for great justice!

In the interest of kermanity, the Eve lander didn't strand any kerbals. What they did is re-purpose one of the landers from the Gilly mission as an unmanned probe. Sort of like the red dragon mission concept to send a SpaceX Dragon to mars as a low cost probe. I have a policy of making all manned ships capable of autonomous flight, so it made sense to expand the science mission after Jeb was done with his lander.

I'm on the creative cloud, so using AE CS6, but you've been able to render still frames since forever. Both as image sequences and individual custom frames. After Effects is a friendly picture editor, since video is just 24 pictures a second.

I like the Laythe one, the detail of the sand and Jool is incredible. and the one of Eve... Now that I think of it, they are all well done. Good work! :)

The sand, I'm afraid, is all stock photos. Jool however is based on a procedural gas giant texture I created for making planetarium shows, so I'll gladly take the credit for that!

Can I use one of these banners under my name if I link it to this post?

Sure thing, I would probably do it myself if I knew how!
