  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!

  Unfortunately, this one isn't really that good in the bundle. It is glitchy, it breaks in conjunction when in use with the other 2 addons, and kind of pricy for an alpha. I suggest you should put more focus on getting this fixed up if the price tag for this one will remain like this.

  Thank you for your feedback, Jack. It should work well with our other addons; however, you might have other plugins interfering with PCO. Please reach out to us through Blender Market or join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/YyqwRGH3KX, and let's see if we can resolve this together.

  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.

  No updates for a long time and addon is not user friendly. Could be really good but for now its pretty much useless especially for this big price. Unfortunately cant rate it more then 1 star for now...

  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.

  Haven’t really gotten it to work at all, maybe my installation is faulty. But my textures are simply not visible most of the times I can’t even see the planets no matter how big the radius. It is not affected by the sunlamp. Though I can’t rate it lower since I recognise the possibility that this may be great. I may change my rating but for now I am (no matter how much I don’t want to accept it) disappointed. I would really need a way for troubleshooting or a tutorial common mistakes because I admit I may not do it correctly so, please help.

  Great work and I see this addon becoming my favourite if I just get it to work since I do a lot of Star Wars stuff.
