Designed with customization in mind, Terra allows you to easily tailor every aspect of the scene to suit your needs. Included are the comps for all nine animations from this demo video. Or, start fresh with the default settings, and use the controls to customize the look of your earth. The flexible controls allow you to adjust the elements separately - the land in daylight, land at night, water, clouds, lighting, and atmosphere. When you're happy with your world, simply animate your camera movement, and it's ready to render. The lighting automatically updates as you change the 3D position of your sun, and the 360° star background gives you the freedom to create elaborate camera movements. Additionally, this template includes a custom, orbiting moon, and 15 custom lens flares to choose from for your sun. Terra has all the features and customization options needed to quickly bring you from concept to captivating earth animation, with minimal experience in After Effects needed!
