Original Animation

Modified Animation

This is my modified animation of the solar system. In this animation, I added realistic textures to the Sun, the planets, and moons. I also added a starry background to add to the atmosphere of the animation. Furthermore, I staggered the planets' orbits to make the animation look more pleasing. Along with this, I also included some interesting orbits and moons. Mercury is the only planet that orbits the Sun clockwise, while most of the other planets orbit the Sun counter-clockwise. Uranus orbits the sun on the Z-axis as opposed to the Y-axis. Jupiter orbits the sun along the Y and Z axes. The rest of the planets orbit normally. I also added a third moon to Uranus: a pyramid.

Below, I also showcase some rendered images of the textured planets, Sun, and moons and Uranus' pyramid moon.
