Planet types and prefabs

Find the worlds and stars in Assets/FORGE3D/Planets HDRP/Prefabs. Choose the closest look, then edit its materials in the scene.

Family	Starting prefab	Choose it for
Terrestrial	Planet_Terrestrial_01	Continents, oceans, clouds and city lights
Oceanic	Planet_Oceanic_01	A water-covered world with glossy highlights and clouds
Moon	Moon_01	Cratered terrain and grazing light
Ice	Planet_Ice_01	Frozen surfaces with a layered ice palette
Lava	Planet_Lava_01	Dark rock and emissive fissures
Gas	Planet_Gas_01	Flowing bands, polar color and a transparent ring
Sand	Planet_Sand_01	Warm deserts, rocky highlands and moving cloud masks

Read the hierarchy

• Root Mesh Renderer. On Planet_Terrestrial_01, Planet_Gas_01 and Planet_Lava_01 this draws the body. Check its material slot before changing the surface.
• Atmosphere child. For example, Atmosphere_Terrestrial_01 draws the glow around the body. The authored shell transform and its material radii work together.
• Ring child. In Planet_Gas_01, Planet_Ring_01 has its own mesh and material. Change this renderer when you want different ring bands.
• Stellar layers. Sun_Red has several StarCoronaPlate children and two atmosphere children. See Sun and Corona for their material assignments.

Move or rotate the world through its root as needed. For the first shot, preserve its scale and keep the camera outside the atmosphere. Frame a smaller or larger disc by moving the camera before changing the shell dimensions.
