Earth is often called the “Blue Planet,” but have you ever wondered how much water actually exists compared to the total size of the Earth?
According to NASA, if we collected all the water on Earth (oceans, rivers, lakes, glaciers, and groundwater) into a single sphere, it would be only 1,400 km in diameter—a fraction of Earth’s 12,756 km diameter!
💡 Key Steps:
✅ Modeling & Displacement Mapping: Earth’s surface was detailed using 3ds Max.
✅ Fluid Simulation: Houdini was used to simulate the global water volume.
✅ Custom POP Attract Force: Instead of gravity, a custom force pulled water outward into a separate sphere.
✅ Mesh Conversion & Rendering: The simulation was converted into Alembic format and rendered in V-Ray for realistic lighting.
“This 3D visualization helps us grasp an important fact: water is extremely limited compared to Earth’s total volume. Understanding this can change our perspective on conservation and how we manage this precious resource.”
