Earth | Advanced Procedurally Generated Shader

This is the standalone version of the earth shader seen in The Planets node group pack.
Node group contains a robust slider set for customizing every detail for terrain, atmosphere, and oceans, including river/lake sliders.
Nested node groups provide streamlined options for further customization.

No separate spheres or materials needed - just drop the node group onto the material slot of a sphere(or cube, if you want an earth box) and plug into the surface!
