This tutorial covers the creation of a 3D planet render in 3DS MAX. The texturing of the 3D planet is done with procedural maps only, so no bitmaps are needed. The 3D planet creation process consists of the the following steps:

* Texturing a sphere with Diffuse, Bump, and Self-Illumination maps
* Illuminating the planet with Omni lights
* Creating rings by texturing a tube with an opacity map

Walking around with the idea of the chamber of oceans for months. The small part of graphical visualization that the mind can produce saw a room, filled with objects that were somehow connected to something emotionally to the sea. The idea of a TV or painting from which water filled the room was also in the original concept. The main character of the scene had to react to what was happening? The scene from my imagination is based on objects that i own or could I have owned. While the project was in my sub consciousness all of the time, your eyes wonder around and are looking for objects that would work in the scene. I was unaware that a lot of the objects were in my own home.
