It could use some work... it looks... toony compared to the rest of the shot. It needs more detail or something.

[General Battuta]

I don't see an issue with his Mars.  It looks like Mars after all.

HAVE YOU NO EYES

[The E]

It looks like Mars

...

if Mars was in the vicinity of some massive gravity well that distorts all the light.

[Shivan Hunter]

Actually, the image itself might be passable. It actually looks like the crappiness that happens when you set #divisions to a non-one number.

But yeah grab yourself a BP skybox once WiH is released, BP skyboxes are always made of win

[Woolie Wool]

I thought more divisions was supposed to = better proportions?

[Droid803]

No man, the more divisions, the more distorted it gets, that's as far as I recall.

[TopAce]

It was implemented to play around with for nebula bitmaps, I think.

[Rodo]

Yes, it's not a good idea to use those divisions to modify the looks of a planet bitmap, you can play safely with the size modifier but up to certain point you get distortion as well.

[ShadowGorrath]

Divisions keep the same proportions and all, but they distort the planet. They are useful for nebula stuff though, sort of...

[Spoon]

Yes, it's not a good idea to use those divisions to modify the looks of a planet bitmap, you can play safely with the size modifier but up to certain point you get distortion as well.

I noticed this around the 8x8-9x9 point.

[Shivan Hunter]

At a point, you need to start making the y much larger than the x dimension as well. For instance, I've got a 11x15 planet in a mission IIRC. Either way divisions = bad.

Spacer warships rally around Neptune to defend their home.

Asteroid field BoE?

I think I'll cry this time around when the Psamtic gets destroyed by the Sathanas jug #2 :C

[sigtau]

I think I'll cry this time around when the Psamtic gets destroyed by the Sathanas jug #2 :C

But the Shivans have nice juggs.

[Enioch]

First picture is better. Really shows off the glowmaps. And the 'head'.

[Axem]

[General Battuta]

I see somebody's putting the BP debris scripts to good use. 

My understanding is it's all going in the MediaVPs pretty soon.
