Realistic Glowing Sun with Procedural Texture

Realistic Glowing Sun with Procedural Texture Low-poly 3D model

Description
Overview

This highly detailed 3D model of the Sun is crafted entirely with procedural shaders in Blender, offering a realistic, glowing, and dynamic solar appearance. Designed specifically for space simulations, sci-fi environments, educational visuals, and motion graphics, this model provides both visual appeal and technical efficiency. The surface simulates solar radiation, turbulence, and plasma activity, making it perfect for close-ups or background placements in large-scale scenes.

The model uses procedural textures only, which means no external image textures are required—making this asset lightweight, easy to modify, and fully scalable for high-resolution output. It is optimized for Blender's EEVEE render engine, allowing you to get high-quality results in real-time rendering situations.

Key Features
  • Built with Blender v3.5.1, ensuring compatibility with modern Blender workflows
  • Rendered using EEVEE for real-time rendering and high performance
  • Procedural material setup—no image textures used, ensuring infinite scalability and modification flexibility
  • The color, brightness, emission strength, and glow can be fully customized via the shader nodes
  • Features a clean and efficient mesh with no overlapping geometry or unnecessary subdivisions
  • All components are named and separated, making it easy to isolate, duplicate, or apply different shaders
  • Non-destructive and artist-friendly node setup, ideal for learning or custom tweaking
  • Model is ideal for use in solar system simulations, VFX shots, educational content, mobile/VR applications, or even concept renders
Geometry and Topology
  • Vertices: 8,583
  • Polygons: 8,448
  • The mesh is carefully constructed to balance performance and realism, ideal for both real-time and offline rendering engines
