Custom Planet Project
Custom Planet Project
Custom Project made by modifying the base project.
What's Different?
Sun is a light source and illuminates the planets
Each Planet's orbit is adjusted to be its ecliptic orbit around the sun, exaggerated 10x
Each Planet's orbital period is adjusted to match 1 Earth year per second
The animation has a space background
Interpolation is now linear so the planets don't ease in and out of their orbits
Sunlight
Ecliptic Orbits of the planets
Orbiting at Different Speeds

Planet Party
Planet Party
I had too much fun with the creative freedom of the custom project so I made another animation.
All of the planets are throwing a party! Maybe Pluto's invitation got lost in the mail?
