Adding a cloud generator to the planet group and adjusting its size. 3. Applying a sphere filter to transform the clouds into a spherical planet shape. 4. Adding color, plasma, and darkness effects to style the planet. 5. Applying throw motions to the planet and title to create a rising intro sequence.
