Orrery

so... to teach us about the parent-child relationships in animation, Andy got us to make an orrery. I created the first one, basing it's revoultions and apperance on our solar system (accurate when i was taught it in primary school). Unfortunately Mercury, Venus, Mars and Earth move significantly faster than the other planets, as you can/or cannot see in the video.
here is orrery 1:

I created a second orrery, completely making it up. I decided on only four planets, narrowing the field of view for the viewer. Also, i thought i'd give my texturing abilities some practice. I find this orrery aesthetically pleasing, more so than the first one. Although i rendered the frames too small, i'll need to upload a bigger version some time later.
