Take a look at the left side of your magma-planet. There is some sharp weather change

[rscaper1070]

That's the darkside of the planet, and that's not weather it's fumes and such. Here's a quick and dirty in game shot.

[T-LoW]

Yes but the clouds look like the're cropped with a knife.

Maybe overall darken the clouds of it. It looks like there weren't clouds on the dark side of the planet.

[rscaper1070]

Ok, so I went in and added a second light and then stepped it down to where it was barely on. I think you were right. It does look better. I made a bright one, a darker one, and one with rings.

P.S. ImageBam has been playing games with me, sometimes the images disappear. I need to find a better image host.

[T-LoW]

Way better now. Looks awesome

[T-LoW]

My god... it's full of stars...

What program do you use to make your planets?  Looks like they are renders, not just GIMPs.

[T-LoW]

I don't know what he's using but I only use photoshop (with its 3D-Function).

After my first try on a galaxy here some new planets:

Another habitat:


A rock-gas-hybrid (or something like that)


and this one


Quality increasing now with fixed bumpmaps for all planets but I have to rework some of the old ones. As I said there will be a dds-package sooner or later

[Shivan Hunter]

first and third are very awesome.

[Rodo]

Good work!

[Snail]

Incredible awesome

[T-LoW]

Why thank you

The package is growing day by day

[watsisname]

I really dig that last one.  Great work with the bumpmapping.

@T-LoW:  HOLY **** that's an awesome galaxy!

[T-LoW]

@T-LoW:  HOLY **** that's an awesome galaxy!

Thx. It took me hours to figure out how to create those spiral arms in a reasonably realistic manner

[rscaper1070]

Trying out making gas giants now. They're harder to do than I thought.

A guy just told me to take a look at this. Do you artists already know the LunarCell?

Also, don't forget to take a look at the SolarCell.

[watsisname]

Nice gas giants, especially the blue one.  I had tremendous difficulty with gas giants but you seem to have a knack for 'em.  Good job.

[Nyctaeus]

I like you red giant. Blue nice to, but is cutted from one side and badly centered .

My first. Kinda sucks. Mainly done by doing weird stuff to various "Solid Noise" renders in GIMP and some fun with gradients.

I love the costlines both in their level of detail and the colouring and the clouds, as a suggestion the colour shift to the green/blue shroud is a little strong
