How to do it...
In the
Outliner
hide, for the moment, the
Earth_Clouds
and
Earth_Atmosphere
spheres by clicking on the little eye icons to see only the
Earth_Surface
sphere in
the viewport rendered and updated in real time as we work on the material.
1. Select the
Earth_Surface
sphere and click on
New
in the
Material
win-
dow under the
Properties
panel or in the
Node Editor
window's header.
Rename the material as
Surface
.
2. In the
Material
window on the right, under the
Properties
panel, switch
the
Diffuse BSDF
shader with an
Add Shader
node. In the first
Shader
slot, load a
Diffuse BSDF
shader. In the second
Shader
slot, load a
Glossy BSDF
node and set its
Roughness
value to
0.700
.
3. Add an
Image Texture
node (press
Shift
+
A
and go to
Texture
|
Image
Texture
) and connect its
Color
output to both the
Color
input sockets
of the
Diffuse
and
Glossy
shaders. Click on the
Open
button on the
Image Texture
node and browse to your
textures
directory and load
the
Earth-col_low.png
image (or a hi-res version if you have it).
4. Press
N
in the
Node Editor
window to bring up the
Active Node

In the
Label
