   Sure, I’ll give this another try with the all the layers in place.

   And as a piece of advice, after your 1st earth is finished, duplicate it like in the tutorial in PSDtuts and be sure to remove from your earth (make sure you have the duplicate layer selected) “Sphere Material” – earth.psd and earthbump.

   After that just follow step 11:

   “The opacity texture made some parts of the sphere invisible, but obviously the wrong parts. Click the Edit the Opacity Texture button again and this time choose Open Texture. This will open the texture in a new document window. Go to Image > Adjustments > Invert. Save and close the document. Go back to the “Home.PSD” document, you’ll see the opacity map is updated.

   The weather seems to be too cloudy, because we can see the clouds that are on the other side through the transparent areas. Making the material one sided will fix that problem. Uncheck Two Sided. To make the clouds a little bit whiter, set Ambient and Specular colors to white. You can get the 3D Rotate Tool from the Toolbox and adjust the orientation of the clouds if you want.”
