How to make the Earth burn in Blender 2.8 with Cycles
In this tutorial we will use animated masks to create an animation of the Earth being destroyed by a devastating explosion.
We wont be covering creating the actual Earth as that’s been done in many other tutorials, we will however go through the process of creating a scorched earth material, putting together masks to transition between it and the original material and we’ll put together some cool shock wave effects too!

If you need a good reference for making you’re own Earth here is a good one from BlenderGuru:
I’d also STRONGLY recommend the Space VFX course from Gleb Alexandrov and Aidy Burrows. It’s been one of my favourite courses for Blender to date:
Space VFX Elements – The Ultimate Guide to Creating the Galaxy in Blender
