Planet Generator - Procedural Planets for Blender

Procedural planets with terrain, oceans, clouds and rings

Planet Generator builds complete, photoreal planets inside Blender with one click: real terrain, oceans, clouds, a glowing atmosphere, rings and moons. Pick one of 61 designs, from an Earth-like world with city lights on its night side to a molten lava world, a banded gas giant with wide icy rings or the frozen moon Europa, then change anything and the planet rebuilds.

Designs come in five families: Planet Types (ocean, desert, jungle, snowball, eyeball, lava, toxic, crystal and more), the Solar System from Mercury to Neptune, Moons and Dwarfs (the Moon, Io, Europa, Titan, Pluto), Gas and Ice Giants, and Mythic Worlds inspired by the myths of twenty cultures, such as Asgard, Olympus, Duat, Xibalba and Avalon.

The Create Space Scene button sets everything up for a render: a sun with real star colors, a NASA deep star map background, a framed camera with five cinematic shots (hero, crescent, orbit, eclipse and wide), AgX color and a soft glow. Animate makes the planet, clouds and moons turn, and the export tab writes game-ready GLB, glTF, FBX or OBJ files with LODs and baked PBR textures.

Whole worlds, one click

Terrain, oceans, clouds and atmosphere are built for you. Animate makes the planet turn.

Questions

Which Blender versions are supported?

Blender 4.2 and newer. It is tested on Blender 4.2, 4.5 and 5.2 LTS.

Can I use the planets in a game engine?

Yes. The Export tab writes GLB, glTF, FBX or OBJ files with LODs and PBR textures (base color, roughness, normal, emission) that work in Unity, Unreal and Godot.

Can I use the star background commercially?

Yes. It is NASA's Deep Star Maps 2020, free for commercial use with the credit NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio; Gaia DR2: ESA/Gaia/DPAC.

Does it work in EEVEE?

Yes, in both Cycles and EEVEE. Create Space Scene can set up either engine.
