Mick, the idea is basically to add a duplicate planet with a negative radius. Use a copy of the original planet and terrain shaders but invert the displacement values and adjust offsets to make the top and bottom terrains mirror each other. After that, I use different redirects and displacements for each surface to make them not identical any more.

I like to clamp the 'floor' of the original planet but leave the roof alone so there is a nice, flat ground surface. Obviously leave the second planet atmosphere input empty. That's about it, in short. :)

I think I could have used more extreme redirects and secondary displacements here as the floor and roof still kind of look too similar, there are differences but not enough.

Interesting work Martin, looks good. I liked the video too.
The contest limits you on what your able to do, but afterwords I wonder what you would add to this?
