Realistic Jupiter, be more Ceres, meteor belt and 3D space in maya.

Center : Ceres space station, the story goes around the station.

Any tips. Thank you very much.

The asteroid belt can be created with particles. Just create a few different asteroids and scatter them with particles. If you scatter them as instances it would also be easier to render.

How you create your planets depends on what you want to achieve in the end. Do you want a closeup shot? Then you probably need really high resolution textures in some areas.

Only Ceres (some areas) Station closeup shot. Jupiter and Asteriod belt only ornamental.

Many scenes in the Ceres Station. Few people, some rooms etc.

Thank you
