MHD-Int Kepler Habitable-Zone Trio — Kepler-186, Kepler-62 and Kepler-442
Where do the numbers come from?
NASA Exoplanet Archive (Kepler-186, Kepler-62, Kepler-442), Quintana et al. 2014, Borucki et al. 2013, Torres et al. 2015, Kopparapu et al. 2014. Full list in CREDITS.md.
Which Blender version do I need?
Blender 4.2 LTS or newer. Older versions (3.x) are not supported.
Does it work with EEVEE?
It has only been tested with Cycles. Materials and lighting were tuned for Cycles.
Can I use the renders commercially?
Yes. Images, animations and scenes you create are yours, including for commercial projects. The script itself is GPL-3.0-or-later.
Do I need an add-on?
No. Everything is procedural and generated by the included script; no add-on and no external textures are required.
Are the planet masses known?
No. Radii come from transits as listed by the Archive; masses are not measured.
Why are there three .blend files?
One per system, so each opens already built and ready to render. All three share the same engine and camera keys.
Are these planets habitable?
Nobody knows. Being in the habitable zone only means the planet could have liquid water on its surface under the right conditions. The scene says so.
