Don't worry - that happens to everyone. Even to me. But I got used to that. You will too !

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Make a texture with an image centered, use the skybox in BP (the one used for the Delta Serpentis battle) and apply the texture. Works great for a single planet.

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
At my 300th post (yippee), I'll finally try and start doing something useful. You guys got me downloading the GIMP (yesterday), and I'm making a planet now. I'll upload it when it's ready.

EDIT: At last, here it is. I've had quite some troubles with it, so I don't feel like working on the southern atmosphere problems anymore. But nevertheless, I'm quite proud of it ;)

EDIT2 - I'm ashamed of this now ;) http://i30.tinypic.com/ja8mdz.jpg

Oh, and about the galaxy effects: which one do you like the best? Above or below?

EDIT2: Of this as well. http://i31.tinypic.com/288glt.jpg

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Below

It could use more stars though

 
Re: Celestial Objects Thread
so, that would be a skybox?
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

 
Re: Celestial Objects Thread
@SG: Okay, thanks. I think I know what you mean, I'm working on the next now.

@Titan: No, it's entirely made in the GIMP. I don't know how to make skyboxes, so...

EDIT: okay, here it is. But JPG isn't kind with it.



Feedback, please? I know it isn't yet as good as Herra's, but I don't really like colours in space.

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
This one's good  :yes:

 
Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Good! In the meantime, I've made a planet. Herra was right: gas giants are easier to make. The lighting didn't really work out here, so I scaled it down a bit:

I like it.  Those gas giant clouds look really good. :yes:

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Thanks! I've had lots of trouble with those so I'm not really pleased with them, but I'm glad you like it.

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
I presume it looks better without jpeg compression...

 
Re: Celestial Objects Thread
I think so too, yes... What would you recommend?

Here's my third one, still in .jpg - it's somewhat better, but not great.
As soon as I get my mouse fixed, I'll start working on the next one.

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Try PNG format

And you should have had the planet on a different layer, because now, the dark side of it is lighted from the supernova effect in GIMP lighting filters/effects/whatever.

 
Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Okay, I'll try PNG.

When I put the planet above the star, the purple side isn't lit adequately anymore. Oh well, I'll take care of it in the next one.

Re: Celestial Objects Thread
Or just move the planet's shadow layer above the supernova lighted planet.
