SIGGRAPH (The ACM Special Interest Group in Computer Graphics, etc) kind of performs some of this function. Not quite so glitzy, but with most of the major players who supported the 3D awards, and more besides.

If it's imaginary planets that'll keep you entertained, they call it MojoWorld. There's a free version called the Transporter with which you can render still frames, QTVRs and movies of planets made by other folks and posted on the net. Because the planets are procedurally generated, the planet files are absurdly small. The full Generator product for creating planets is quite reasonably priced for what it is.

Check this article in Millimeter magazine about various 3d world creation tools... They say of MojoWorld:

Let me begin with the advice that anyone interested in computer graphics technology and its application to the imagination should really get ahold of this product. MojoWorld is as much a vision, dream, and concept of the entertainment future as it is a landscape generation application.
