I love your use of a galaxy image to create the rings for the molten planet; it works surprisingly well and was a very clever idea.

Yeah I was wondering who'd recognize it first
I mean: A planet with a galaxy as its ring. That thought was so ****ing awesome that I had to try it and it worked out pretty well

your red/purple alien is great too but has a bit of aliasing.

Yup I forgot the smoothing on it. I will correct this next week

I made this while I was holed up with the chickenpox last summer. Feedback would be welcome!

[T-LoW]

Made what?

Sorry. Hosting problem. This should be better (I hope):

[Rodo]

ohh 

good work man, looks really good.

Got a version without stars?

That I do. When I removed the starfield I noticed some slight errors with the planet edges, but since the defects wouldn't be noticeable in-game I don't think I'll take the time to correct these. I believe I know what I did wrong though so hopefully future works won't have these issues.

Why is it not on black background?

Actually screw that, why isn't it alpha channeled...?

[Nyctaeus]

Simple, but very nice .

Because I'm lazy.  I just swapped out the starfield with a solid color that I thought would match that of my post, but I forgot that HLP alternates post colors between black and maroon. So it ended up looking kind of weird. Now I know better. 

ohh

Thanks guys!

Why don't you make the BG transparent? (Alpha Channel)

The planet itself looks good. How long did it take?

Thanks for the advice, I'll give that a try next time.

This was my first planet so it took me several hours to make, but now I can do it in a fraction of that time...provided that I have time for such projects amidst the sea of RL.

Hello everybody. Here's some 'minor' update.
These pics were that big that I had to scale them down to a third of their actual size so I could upload them for free

First:
One of saturn's moons. The texture is right from the NASA. So blame them for any blurry spots (maybe I'll fix them later). Rhea (but I'm sure you can use it elswhere in the universe):


Second:
Another gas giant. Don't tell me it looks kinda comic. It looks cool! Period!


And third (sick of planets):
A dwarf star (you know - that thing that remains when a lightwheight sun like ours kabooms):


I created those just now before I'm going to sleep. So good night and merry christmas

[Rodo]

me likes the star

[FreeSpaceFreak]

The gas giant looks... kinda comic As if it's in a nova. I could imagine it being a "hot Jupiter" though, orbiting really close to its star and being sandblasted by the solar wind.
The dwarf star  is pretty cool too, I wonder how that would look in-game...

In Celebration of FS, people seemed to like this Earth I made a while ago, so here it is -> http://www.mediafire.com/?vimo6f9p06id1cv
Kudos go to NASA for the source images.

[Rodo]

Oh pretty

You're better than God .

Updatet versions of some of my previous postet planets.

RockyII


And one of the random habitats

[peterv]

Thanks FSF, this earth is amazing 

Great work T-LoW, just one small note: The ring of the "RockyII" looks more fat that it should be.

[T-LoW]

Well I tried hard to create exactly that thicknes (in photoshops limited 3D engine) so that it looks more 3Dish and not like a simple disk
