  Whoa, this definitely is a 5 star add-on, I just love it!! Having bought PSA and also PCO I yesterday used them together to get awesome space scenes - it really looks fantastic and it also looks stunning in EEVEE, I use it all the time because I don't have a fancy graphics card!
  But I have one question: when using both add ons, the planets seem to be translucent, the sun always shines through them - how can I make the planets solid? Thank you very much and keep up your awesome work!

  Hi Blake!
  Thank you for the nice review! Glad to hear you're loving the combination of our addons. To answer your question, it is an alpha glitch that should be solved in the next update that's coming soon! In the meantime, you can message us through blendermarket or join our discord https://discord.com/invite/jUAvvwcMZc

  I've gotten some beautiful backdrops for my space renders out of this Add-on. I've done eevee and cycles renders and they both work.

  Hi!
  We're glad the addon is working well for you, we appreciate the positive review! Having PCO(and our other addons) working in both rendering engines is very important to us! The soon-to-come update will take your backdrops to the next level!

  It's looking great, quite easy to use and huge time saver. Has some bugs, here and there (or it's just me). And can't wait for new features that are being developed.
  Clouds and "night side" emissions are the ones I'm looking forward most.

  Thank you for your feedback, Victor! We just released (still a work in progress) the PCO documentation page https://www.physicaladdons.com/pco/documentation/. A new version of PCO beta is coming this week and fixing a batch of issues. After the release of the beta version, we will put some effort into creating video content in order to show some tips and tricks on how the addon works.

  Incredible so far. Do you think starfields will be implemented in the future as well?

  Such an amazing add-on, been using it for the last 2 days and I purchased it for Sci-Fi Short Film I wanted to put together and so far it's exceeded expectations. It shines the best in my opinion when it's paired with the Lens Sim add-on, I rendered some shots of Mars with the lens used to shoot Dune Part 1 & 2 and it was insane! Can't wait to see the progression of this add-on, the only issue I've had is the issue of stars not being visible when using cycles for rendering, at first I thought that it could be the Lens sim add-on but even with the standard camera the stars disappear once you switch to cycles, I tried going through the documentation but didn't find any fixes. Secondly, when trying to add more than one planet I found that the second planet would have a flat black texture instead of the chosen albeido map. Regardless though, it is an amazing add-on with incredible potential and I'm sure the developers are working hard to improve it which is why I feel constructive criticism and encouragement will help all of us get the best possible outcome. All the best guys!

  Big fan of physical starlight and atmosphere, but this addon seems quite limited and a little less user friendly.

  Is there any way to add clouds to the planets?
  Also, when adding planets to my scene, they are very difficult to see.

  I really like the planets in the demo files, but there doesn't seem to be any way to use them in the asset browser, and there are no textures or anything that I can choose inside of the addon. I expected to be able to add some basic templates?

  Perhaps there is something wrong with my installation.

  Anyway - looking forward to the updated version.

  Hey Jediah,
  Thank you for the feedback! As the addon is still in alpha it may be finicky, but we are working to make it more user-friendly and feature-rich with every update.

  Adding a Clouds layer is the most requested feature and it is coming soon. It is possible (as I’ve seen our colleague Adrians do it) and if you are keen and cannot wait for it - you can ask for his approach on our Discord channel ([https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr](https://discord.gg/wvzPVzj9Vr)).

  Could you elaborate on why it is hard to see the planets? Are they too small upon creation or what is the context you are in? Please send us a message at [email protected] or in the Discord #help section and we’ll get back to you shortly.

  We want to make planets available in the Asset browser, but this feature is still in the ideation phase as it is not that simple and will require some workarounds. We do have a README file in the folder where we have provided links to a set of planets.

  I have found this product disappointing after a very promising start. Every update has made the product dramatically slower, there are fewer presets provided with the latest version than with the alpha, it has more bugs in it than earlier versions and finally it is now so laggy that it is a pain to use, which the alpha version was not. It needs a lot of work to return it to the responsiveness of early versions and I hope it gets that work, because I really want to like this more than I do.

  Thanks for the honest feedback — we totally get how frustrating that is. Blender changes a lot under the hood with almost every update, and those big code shifts can break parts of our addons or slow them down until we can rework them.

  We’re doing our best to catch up each time and bring back the speed and stability you saw in earlier versions. It’s a moving target, but we’re on it, and feedback like yours helps us focus on what matters most.

  Sadly, it feels like I have purchased a demo. Not even with a discount back then! Purely out of respect to the developer of truly great addons.
  But looking at this now — way cheaper products do offer more functionality, this is a fact.
  Development with this kind of addon isn't easy, I get it though.
  But hope you will return to this addon that really could have a tonn of possibilities.
