This tutorial will show you how to parse your data so the node in blender can be used.  He uses a python script to make a new csv.  He uses geometry nodes to take the world data and actually use the lat and long values to map a world.  You start to understand how he uses a formula to map the data to a sphere, and what nodes look like in a formula.  He uses attribute nodes, to pull out data from the csvc node, and uses emmision shaders to visualize the data.  The data is the population of the world.  Overall I noticed his logic, which if you could write a to do

I was inspired to try and animate a short about the Galaxy Explorer after hearing Elon Musk Talk.  He's always inspirational.

I created an  Exhaust effect using the Galaxy Explorer model from mecabrick.com and an comet object from blend kit and the following tutorial.

I also wanted to show the metal of the engine glowing and used this tutorial here.

I found this youtube tutorial that delved deeper into texturing.  His tips on blending modes of the mix shader, to using the factor in the mix shader, was very helpful and clear.   This is not a beginner level tutorial.  I think beginners should watch this one though.  He has a good work flow for getting realistic Results from his models.   He even talks about some of the mapping choices, which are always good to know to make the images fit onto the meshes better.

Here is the image i did that inspired the world next door short.

I decided to make this a night shot, and changed a few items.
