Procedural Dark Planet - Stylized Sci Fi Space World 3D model

The Procedural Dark Planet – Stylized Sci‑Fi Space World is a meticulously crafted, fully procedural 3D planetary scene built for artists, designers, game developers, and educators who seek high‑quality, versatile, and ready‑to‑use assets. Designed entirely in Blender v4.2.2, this asset utilizes a 100% node‑based procedural shader system, eliminating the need for external texture maps while offering limitless customization for lighting, surface details, and atmospheric effects.

Its cinematic look comes from a dual‑light setup, combining a soft ambient rim light with a dramatic, high‑contrast sun glow. The result is a planet that works equally well in realistic space renders, stylized sci‑fi artwork, educational astronomy visualizations, and VR/AR immersive experiences. Whether you are building a galaxy scene for a video game, creating cinematic concept art, or preparing visuals for a scientific project, this model provides unmatched flexibility and visual appeal.
