Planets HDRP

Build a cloud-covered Earth-like world, frame a ringed gas giant, or light a close-up of a red star. Planets HDRP gives you ready-to-place prefabs with materials you can tune for your own shot. Start with a complete world and change the surface, atmosphere or effects one layer at a time.
