About

Solar System in Blender

To enhance the multimedia project, I built a fully animated solar system in Blender using a custom Python script. Each planet orbits the sun with accurate relative speeds, textures, and lighting — ed with Cycles for photorealistic output.

Python scripting in Blender allowed me to automate planet placement, orbital paths, and keyframe generation — drastically reducing manual work and enabling rapid iteration on the animation timeline.

Scene Setup

Created the sun, planet meshes, and an HDRI deep-space environment inside Blender's 3D viewport.

🐍

Python Scripting

Automated orbital keyframes, planet speeds, sizes, and lighting using a custom bpy script.

Code

The Python Script

This Blender Python script automates the creation and animation of all planets, handling their orbital paths, speeds, and keyframes programmatically.
